Gary Neville sends message to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over Paul Pogba before Liverpool clash

Gary Neville insists he would like to see Paul Pogba playing in the left flank again, despite the latest impressive display against Burnley. Manchester United beat rivals 1 - 0 as the Frenchman scored the winning goal for his side. Pogba has usually played in the left midfield, though during the last two clashes, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer dropped him back into a midfield. "I really think Pogba’s far better when he plays off that left-hand side forward position because it frees him up," Neville told Sky Sports. "It makes him more like a maverick, he can go and do his little one-on-ones, his little tricks. I think when he plays deeper, he sometimes stands still and plays and tries to look for the killer pass too early. "Sometimes it comes off, but sometimes he gets too deep." Then he added: "I’ve been critical of Paul Pogba at times in the last few years because I felt like he’s nowhere near his standard, but he’s been the best player on the pitch in this second-half for United. "Quite often, Bruno Fernandes gets the plaudits, but his aerial play has been fantastic for Manchester United in these last few weeks, winning headers in the centre of midfield and he gets forward after it. "It’s such a true strike – he gets a little bit of help with the deflection – but take nothing away from him. His influence in the second-half has been big."
