Manchester United - Pogba, far from being an indisputable holder?

Paul Pogba is having a difficult season with Manchester United. The Manchester United midfielder could leave the Premier League this summer. 

According to Paul Scholes, if the Frenchman stays at the club, he will have to fight to get his place in the eleven.

Paul has a bit of work to do to join the team. Before the epidemic, the players who played in midfield (Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay and Fred) were doing really well. 

It's not going to be easy for Paul. But we all know what Paul can do. He's a top player when he's in good shape, ” said Scholes in the columns of the Mirror.
