Former Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has accused Jose Mourinho of wasting Paul Pogba's talent at Manchester United.

Pogba has scored three times and registered 10 assists in 23 appearances in all competitions for his Premier League club during the 2017-18 campaign.

There have been some outstanding performances from the 24-year-old this season, but his recent displays have been called into question.

Indeed, the Frenchman, who is valued at £81m by transfermarkt.co.uk, struggled against Tottenham Hotspur towards the end of last month, before being hauled off the field in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United.

Redknapp has claimed that Mourinho is not getting the best out of the former Juventus man, who the pundit believes would be a key player at Manchester City under the leadership of Pep Guardiola.

Redknapp told Sky Sports:

"Taking him off against Tottenham, that's not how you're going to get the best out of him. You can see at Newcastle, his confidence was really low.

"I'm not saying you need to pander to him but I don't see a situation where Pep Guardiola would do that. If he was playing at Man City, he would be one of their star performers. I just don't think that Jose Mourinho gets the best out of him.

"Pep's the sort of manager who would bring him on, but with Mourinho it almost feels like he's taking him on. This isn't a kid he's dealing with, he's one of the biggest assets in world football."

Pogba appeared to be carrying an injury during the clash with Newcastle on Sunday, but Mourinho did not identify a problem after the match.

Man United will attempt to return to winning ways when they travel to Huddersfield Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup this weekend.
