Former Chelsea captain Marcel Desailly has slammed Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

Pogba was dropped for last night's Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid.

He eventually came on for a disappointed Bruno Fernandes but failed to make much of an impact on the game.

Before kickoff, Desailly snapped: "Quality-wise you cannot compare Pogba to Fred or McTominay or Matic but he is lazy, he's lazy. If you allow him to be some kind of playmaker behind Ronaldo he will take advantage of it.

"When it goes well he is fantastic, but when it doesn't go well - offensively he hasn't brought what everyone was expecting. And at the same time, he will cheat a little bit. He will not drop back and help the midfield on the defensive intensity."
