Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is mentally hurting his condition at the club, according to France president Didier Deschamps.
Pogba was previously the most expensive player in the world and has struggled to hold a regular place at Old Trafford over the past eighteen months, after being hampered by injury, illness and loss of form..
His suffering continued on the international stage in the middle of the week as he was a member of the France squad that surprisingly lost 2-0 at home to Finland.
« He’s not at his best, of course. « I knew that before the match, » Deschamps told media on Friday. « This match should have given him some rhythm. He knew he would only play for an hour.
“It’s hard to remember to be positive. He’s clearly not in one of his best periods.
“Like all players who have a negative status in the club, they are also affected mentally. I know him well and that could happen at some points.
While the World Cup-winning coach supported the player to recover from his current troubles, he admitted that Pogba could not be automatically considered a player in Saturday’s match against Portugal in the Nations League. .
He said, « Periods like this could happen. ». « He has knowledge of the highest levels, the pride and spirit that enables him to respond to his critics.
« After that, I have decisions to make on all elements compared to the other players.
Another high-profile member of the France squad who fights for fitness is Kylian Mbappe, and the PSG star remains in doubt against the Portugal side that includes his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo..
Deschamps said of the Paris Saint-Germain striker: « He will do the first part of training individually. ». We’ll see later. I’ll wait for what happens in training.
« We’ll do a check tomorrow morning to see what he’s like before we make a decision about a match.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo was directed to join Paris Saint-Germain from Juventus, a move Deschamps was not sure of being completed..
« Anything is possible in football, » Deschamps said, « but I think he really is in a big club. ». “Juventus is very happy to be there, as are the other clubs he has played in.
“I will not expect what he may or may not do. But he was one of the best players in the world for many years. Of course we know what player he is, what he is capable of, and what he represents.
