Ex United player, Andrei Kanchelskis has said that Paul Pogba might as well move on from Manchester United, especially on how often he has spoken about leaving the club.

Pogba has made a total of 172 appearances for the Red Devils since joining the Manchester club in 2016. But he (Paul Pogba) has been unsettled, with talk of him leaving the club coming up during each of the recent transfer windows.
