Gary Neville takes swipes at Man United star Paul Pogba

Gary Neville has criticised Paul Pogba for performing as if “everything he does is like a YouTube or Instagram video” during the first half against Crystal Palace.

The Manchester United midfielder gave the ball away with a long attempted pass before Andros Townsend gave Palace a 1-0 half-time lead.

“His great weakness is that he plays like he’s playing in the park with his mates,” said former United defender Neville on Sky Sports.

“It’s like everything he does is like a YouTube or Instagram video. It’s like it’s not serious, it’s like a joke to him in terms of the way he goes about things.

“It’s no wonder (manager) Jose Mourinho has left him out for the past few weeks a number of times.”

Neville was also critical of the lack of chemistry between Pogba’s team-mates.

He added: “I’ve never seen a Jose Mourinho team as inefficient as this. There always efficient teams, they always do things really calmly, they are usually solid in defence.

“He won’t recognise, I don’t recognise this as a performance. They are just individuals. They play in moments, they are not a unit yet.

“They’ve got to come together quickly because they’ve got to finish the season strongly but, most importantly, how are they going to get to a level that competes next season with Manchester City? They are nowhere near that level out there.”
