But unfortunately, he has had a hard time consistently putting out his best performances, not only this season, but as far as I know, in previous years. ”
As for why this situation is happening, Lonnick said: "It's hard to say, if I and other coaches knew, it might be easier to change. I don't know, but there's no point in talking about that now, as I said before, there's a good chance he won't play the next four games [in the Premier League]. ”
"For now, Pogba is not going to renew his contract. Maybe the club or Tenhag don't want to renew their contracts either, and it's likely that Pogba won't be here next season. ”
The world-class midfielder has expressed his frustration at being swept away by Manchester United in recent days, saying that Manchester United and the French national team have provided him with different platforms.
"My role in the French team is simple. But Manchester United are not, changing positions frequently, playing in a way that lacks consistency. Pogba said, "To be honest, when I'm in a difficult moment, especially at Manchester United, going back to the national team will give me motivation. ”

In his first season, Pogba led Manchester United to the League Cup and europa League, but because of the disagreement with Mourinho, Pogba eventually forced Mourinho to leave, and Since then Manchester United's performance has plummeted, and Pogba has been called a "cancer".
Now, even as he is about to leave Manchester United, Pogba is full of complaints about Manchester United.
