Paul Scholes has questioned why Paul Pogba would want to leave Manchester United as the midfielder continues to stall on signing a new deal at Old Trafford.

“I think the middle of the pitch is a little bit of a problem for us. If he is on song and plays to his ability like he does for France every time he seems to play for them then you’ve got to try and keep him.

‘But again it’s up to the club. If they want to keep him then great, if they don’t we’ll say goodbye.”
