"I don't think they'll do anything with Pogba in January but come the summer you move him on and it's no big deal, he's left Manchester United before."

United fans on Twitter appeared to agree with Keane, with one stating: "Why wait till then. Get him out in January."

Another added: "They could easily get 100+ million for him then use that to buy some players who actually want to play for the club."

The former Sunderland and Aston Villa manager said before the match kicked off that United stars were looking "disinterested" and he claimed Mourinho "doesn't trust his players."

Fellow pundit and Liverpool legend Graeme Souness also took the chance dig out the £89million midfielder.

He said: "For me, he's not improved since he came to England.

"He's not got any better. I have sympathy with the manager, I think he's got a hell of a job to sort him out.

"I'm not sure that can be done and that's why he stays on the bench. Pogba must be sitting there, thinking 'surely I'm better than Fellaini, surely I'm better than Matic.'"

It is reported that United are prepared to sell Pogba back to Juventus after they paid a record fee for him.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
