Ole Gunnar Solskjaer criticised Paul Pogba for his poor finish against Tottenham (beIN Sports)Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he has a ‘gripe’ with Paul Pogba after the midfielder missed an excellent chance in Manchester United’s 3-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday.

Pogba also had a clear-cut chance in the second half to extend United’s lead but the World Cup winner opted for an elaborate backheel which was blocked.

Fred scored Manchester United’s equaliser (Photo by Tottenham Hotspur FC/Tottenham Hotspur FC via Getty Images)Roy Keane slammed Manchester United midfielder Fred after his former side’s 3-1 win against Tottenham, describing the Brazilian’s performance as ‘dreadful’. United came from a goal down to win in north London, thanks to goals from Fred, Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood.

The dynamic Brazilian earned praise for his tenacity in midfield and his goal was just his second in the Premier League since joining the club from Shakhtar Donetsk in a £52m deal in 2018. But Keane was far from impressed with the midfielder, claiming he wa...
