Roy Keane has attacked Paul Pogba and questioned his commitment to Manchester United.
The World Cup winner has endured a tumultuous season, with Jose Mourinho seemingly trying to force him out of Old Trafford.
When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed, the France international enjoyed a startling upturn in form and seemed to be justifying his £89million price tag.
But rumours of a rift between the Norwegian and his talisman began to surface and Pogba himself admitted it would be a ‘dream’ to play for Los Blancos.
And Keane, who was no stranger to controversy during his time in United̢۪s midfield, does not believe the 26-year-old can be trusted.
â€Å“I wouldn’t believe a word he says,†Keane said. â€Å“There’s no meaning, no meaning behind it.
â€Å“I don’t even think he believed what he was saying there.
“He is a big problem, no doubt about it.”
â€Å“You’ve got to run back when you’re defending!
â€Å“He said it got a bit heated after the game against Everton; I heard they were actually throwing their hair gel at each other.â€

The former Republic of Ireland star did not limit the scathing assessments to just one Manchester United player, instead attacking the whole squad.
He insisted the current crop of players would throw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under the bus in the same way they did to predecessor Mourinho in a passionate rant before the game.
Keane was speaking ahead of United’s derby clash with Manchester City, which ended in a 2-0 defeat for the Red Devils at Old Trafford.
Second-half goals from Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane took City back to the top of the league, one point clear of Liverpool with three games left to play, and highlighted the gulf in class between United and the Premier League leaders.
“I reckon the City players couldn’t believe how easy it was tonight, in a derby game,” was Keane’s post-match assessment.
“City were very good but it was an easy night for them. They are sitting in the dressing room and can’t believe how comfortable it was.
“I don’t know what happened at half time. They never got going and City seemed sharper in the second half.
“Even the first goal, players not closing players down. We spoke about the basics but I reckon the City players couldn’t believe how easy it was in a derby game.
“You have to put demands on players and I think it was an easy night.”
