Frank Leboeuf believes Paul Pogba’s best position is on the bench right now after letting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side down against Arsenal on Sunday.
Pogba started his first Premier League game since Manchester United’s 6-1 defeat to Tottenham in October on Sunday, when the Red Devils faced Arsenal.
However, the Frenchman was awarded the penalty that saw Arsenal finally overcome United at Old Trafford in the Premier League for the first time since 2006.

Leboeuf claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ‘doesn’t know what to do with’ Pogba at the moment
Speaking of United’s performance and Solskjaer’s decision to move Pogba to the left wing, Leboeuf said ESPN: ‘I don’t know if there is an explanation [for United’s form]. ‘
It was a random victory against Leipzig and a happy one.
What we have seen in the Premier League is not good enough for Manchester United. The level drops dramatically.
‘It was very strange to see that diamond midfield because Ole Gunnar wanted Solskjaer to have Pogba in the middle of the park, where he is clearly a problem because he changed him in the second half, almost putting him on the left wing.
‘He doesn’t know what to do with Pogba. Solskjaer has to reconsider his position, perhaps the best position for Pogba at the moment is the bench. ‘

Pogba owned his ‘stupid mistake’ after giving away a penalty in Man United 1-0 defeat
Pogba has since admitted his ‘stupid mistake’ after conceding a penalty in their 1-0 defeat.
The French midfielder claimed United’s performance as a team was not good enough and he took the responsibility of tripping Hector Bellerin in the box.
Pogba admitted that defending within the box is not one of his strengths and that he needs to improve.
He said, ‘When you try to touch the ball in front of the man, I felt like I was touching him a little. I knew I was in the box and I knew it would be a mistake.

It was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who scored for Arsenal from eleven meters on Sunday
“Ultimately, I shouldn’t give such a punishment. I should let him take the ball and try to block the cross.
“Maybe I was a little out of breath from running just before that and that’s why I made this stupid mistake. I will learn from that.
‘I’m not the best defensive player in the box and I have to work on this. I can always improve that. ‘
The result has put United at the table in 15th place – nine points behind leaders Liverpool.
Solskjaer’s side will return to action against Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League on November 4, before heading to Goodison Park for another Premier League game on November and 7.
