Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola last week cancelled a meeting over a new contract, according to reports.

And Manchester United’s players are concerned that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doesn’t has enough in him to control Pogba.

The World Cup winner, controversially named in the PFA Team of the Season on Thursday, has been ‘tearing the Manchester United dressing room apart’, report The Sun.

Insiders claim the French midfielder has told team-mates the club has gone backwards since he first left 2012.

Pogba isn’t sure Solskjaer is the manager to return them to former glories, they say – and that is causing dressing room division after the team’s recent horror run.

Zinedine Zidane is hoping United are willing to cut their loses on him this summer as a move to Real Madrid looks more and more likely.

It is now suggested that Pogba and his agent Mino Raiola cancelled a meeting last week to discuss a new deal at Old Trafford.

Now it seems the exit door is ready to be opened for a second time.

One person who would like to see him go is Roy Keane if he comments after the 2-0 Manchester derby defeat to City are anything to go by.

“I wouldn’t believe a word he says – there’s no meaning behind it,” former captain Keane said after Pogba’s pre-match interview talking about togetherness.

Why Paul Pogba will thrive at Real Madrid in a way he simply can’t at Man Utd

“He’s on about being a team-mate, if you’re going to be a good team-mate you’ve got to run back when you’re defending.

“The guy is a talented boy, but we’re saying the same thing over and over again. The number of times we’ve seen him in games where he is not sprinting or running back.

“I don’t think he leads by example, from what I see. I don’t know what he’s like on the training ground or when they’re travelling, but from what I see. He mentioned body language and pride, but I don’t see it in his performances.

“He’s talking about body language – but throws his hands up in the air.

“He’s a big problem for United.”
