Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has slammed Paul Pogba saying that he has 'never learned as a footballer'.
The Frenchman's second stint at Old Trafford has failed to live up to its initial expectations, due to his inconsistent form and with the club unable to challenge for the game's biggest competitions.
The 29-year-old seems to be on his last legs at the club, as he is expected to leave once his contract expires at the end of the season.
Asked about Pogba's imminent departure, Scholes told talkSport: 'I was there when he was a kid and this lad has got absolutely everything you would want in a footballer and a midfield player.
'His physique, he can run. I just don't think he's ever learned as a footballer, he constantly seems to make the same mistakes over and over again.
'It's disappointing, it looks like he's going to leave. He'll go somewhere, a manager will get a grip of him, and I think he'll do really well, as he did at Juventus.
'For some reason, at Man United, it hasn't worked out. It's a big disappointment. You see what he does with France.'
Scholes was still an active player during Pogba's first stint at the club which lasted from 2009 to 2012.
Pogba went on to become an influential figure at Juventus, helping them win four back-to-back Serie A titles and helping them reach the Champions League final in a losing effort to Barcelona in 2015.
He has also reminded people of his obvious talents whenever he has put a French shirt on.
Pogba was a leader in the dressing room as France won the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
At United, his moments of brilliance have been too far and few between for the club and their supporter's liking.
Scholes though still believes Pogba has the talent to become 'world class'.
He said: 'People see him the wrong way. He's a nice lad, he wants to work and learn. I hope he goes on and does really well. We all know he's got the ability and talent to be world class.'
Pogba is currently out of action after limping off just five minutes into their 4-0 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield.
United fans showed their displeasure at Pogba earlier this month, when he was booed by his own supporters during their 3-2 victory over Norwich earlier this month.
Despite speculation that he had played his last game for the club, the Frenchman is still hopeful of wearing the United jersey again by the end of the season.
He tweeted during his side's loss to Arsenal: 'Absolutely gutted to not be able to help the team in today's game. I will work even harder to come back stronger and hopefully before the end of the season.
'It's not over,' he added. 'Thank you all for your support, United we would stand!'
Should he leave the club as expected he will be available to sign on a free this summer.
Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are long-term admirers of the midfielder, while there have been reports suggesting he has not ruled out a move to a Premier League rival.

The team has been disaster since fergie left. Can't blame one player only. He has is a world cup winner where as you are notππππ
But he's always losing the ball and he's too slow. Scholes is one of the best midfielders in the world than this Pogba guy. Scholes didn't win world cup yes but he played better football than Pogba and he's a Champions league winner too. Sometimes you guys should know what to say ππ

Pogba out... Man utd thophies in... Simple and other old player should go too so that ten hag decide who to play π€
Pogba enjoy his rich career at Man Utd, from the moment Man Utd sacked the special one Jose Mourinho, I knew it was their downfall and since them Man Utd couldnβt deliver, i hope theyβll allow Pogba to go or else the virus will keep spreading and destroying Man Utd. Add 1 point more for my friend to help his words about pogba and team is that the problem is midfield and defenders... Degea is best even Ronaldo so that solve Striker and gk problem for them... Varane was less viewed in arsenal match.. I think he should be training even more or time to adjust in the squad Maguire is ggod but he put own goal too much

Pogba shines in the french team cos of kante and Kante is not ur regular celebrity player so Pogba gets all the praise... he shined in juve cos he has Vidal, Marchissio around him and that gives him the freedom to do all his flicks and kicks

He's playing along side with fred and mctominay, how will u expect him to be consistent, and those lazy lads, rashford, martial, sancho, he needs players who can work and be serious for him, like Arturo Vidal, Kante, that box to box midfielders. U will see pogba well.

it's not about winning a world club. he didn't win it himself. it was a collective job
wining world cup for a player is bigger than any trophies bro..football is team work.

He has also reminded people of his obvious talent whenever he puts on the FRENCH shirt because when he does KANTE is around & make it look as if he's brilliant & because KANTE personality POGBA is given the glory through his social media presence
