Pogba would shine under Pep Guardiola – Redknapp

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba would be “one of the star performers” at Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, according to Jamie Redknapp.
Pogba has come in for criticism after failing to complete 90 minutes for the third straight Premier League game in the 1-0 defeat by Newcastle at St. James’ Park last weekend.
The Frenchman cut a dejected figure on the bench as United fell 16 points behind leaders City, and Redknapp joined Danny Higginbotham in discussing what United should do to get the best out of him during The Debate.
Redknapp believes that Jose Mourinho is playing the 24-year-old out of position as part of a two-man midfield alongside NemanjaMatic, and feels Guardiola would be better suited to maximisingPogba’s potential.
“I can’t believe we’ve got to this situation so quickly, because when he got sent off against Arsenal, everyone was rolling out the stats that Manchester United can’t play without him,” Redknapp said.
“Everyone said that he was indispensable but now everyone is saying he’s useless again. When things are good, he’s the best player in the world. And now because of his price tag he’s getting slaughtered.
“I think Mourinho has a big responsibility with him, it’s his job. Everyone expects him to be this big confident player, but I think deep down he needs to be loved.
