Pogba rated worst player by L’Equipe as Man Utd lose to Barca – and he’s even below Ashley Young

PAUL POGBA was the worst player on the pitch during Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Barcelona, according to L’Equipe.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer predicted the Frenchman would “run the game” at Old Trafford, but he failed to live up to expectations.

French newspaper L’Equipe – whose ratings are notoriously harsh – gave him a rating of 3/10 for his performance during the quarter-final tie.

He was controversially ranked below the likes of Ashley Young, Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof.

Young in particularly endured a nightmare, with even Manchester United fans turning on the veteran.

The 33-year-old attempted 11 crosses in the first half – with a grand total of ZERO finding their mark.

GREAT SCOTT

Scott McTominay was labelled as United’s best player on the night with a 7/10 – which proved to fans why Jose Mourinho gave him the Player of the Season award last term.

After the ratings were posted to social media, one fan replied: “Pogba had a very average game, but are they really trying to tell us Young had a better game than him?”

Another added: “McTominay was outstanding. Pogba was better than a three. Young was terrible.”

While one said: “Pogba worse than Ashley Young? What game was you watching?”

And some supporters were shocked to see that Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi was given a rating of just of 4/10.

Pogba has proved to be a huge hit at Old Trafford since Solskjaer arrived to take over from Mourinho in December.

The World Cup winner has nine goals and seven assists in 20 appearances under the Norwegian.

Before kick-off, Solskjaer admitted that he expects the 26-year-old to stay with United next season.

But reports have suggested that Pogba’s relationship with the new boss is “worn out” and that he “wants a transfer”.
