Furious Paul Pogba snubbed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Man Utd loss to Liverpool and shelves contract talks

FURIOUS Paul Pogba snubbed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after being left out of Manchester United’s line-up for their 5-0 drubbing by Liverpool.

Pogba came on at half-time, lost the ball for Liverpool’s fifth goal and was then sent off after a shocking challenge on Naby Keita.

The Frenchman did apologise to his team-mates for his recklessness after the match - but he did not speak to under-fire Solskjaer, who has now lost the backing of his senior stars in the dressing room.

The 28-year-old club record signing has now put all talks over a new contract on hold.

Pogba's current United deal is up in the summer when he can walk away as a free agent.

The French World Cup winner appears to be paying the price for his outspoken comments following the 4-2 defeat away by Leicester.

After that game Pogba said: "We've had these kinds of games for a long time.

"We have not found the problem, conceding easy goals - we need to be more mature, play with more experience and arrogance in a good way.

"We need to find something, we need to change."

Pogba was subsequently axed from the starting line-up for the comeback win against Atalanta and then kept on the bench for Liverpool.

He was asked to come on at the break on Sunday with his team already 4-0 down.

But within five minutes he lost possession in the middle of the park, allowing Jordan Henderson to put Mohamed Salah through on goal to complete his hat-trick.

On the hour mark, he was shown a straight red card for a nasty challenge which saw Keita taken off on a stretcher.

Former boss Jose Mourinho’s problems with Pogba helped to hasten his sacking.

Now Solskjaer is starting to have the same trouble as his tenure at Old Trafford hangs by a thread.
