Default Re: [EPL] Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Manchester United

Paul Pogba caused Manchester United defenders 'all sorts of problems' in Tottenham defeat, says Danny Murphy

* Danny Murphy criticises midfielder Paul Pogba for lack of defensive discipline
* The Manchester United star caused his team-mates problems against Tottenham
* Murphy says defending is not in Pogba's 'nature' after his latest performance


Paul Pogba caused his Manchester United team-mates 'all sorts of problems' during their 2-0 defeat by Tottenham because of his inability to maintain defensive discipline, claims Danny Murphy.

Few players wearing a red shirt came out of the game with their heads held high, but Pogba was singled out by Murphy after allegedly wandering out of position and leaving the United defence exposed.

While the former Tottenham, Fulham and Charlton star believes Pogba is one of the game's great attacking midfielders, he does not feel he has the mindset to play in the role Jose Mourinho has handed him.

Murphy told Match of the Day: 'Pogba is one of the best attacking midfielders in the world, but defensively he is reactive rather than proactive.

'[Phil] Jones and [Chris] Smalling kept getting dragged out because Pogba kept vacating that space next to [Nemanja] Matic, and it just caused United all sorts of problems.

'Pogba has been great for United and I prefer him in a more attacking role. In terms of his defensive discipline, it’s not really in his nature.'

The France international was hauled off by Mourinho shortly after the hour mark and appeared to have words with his record signing before finally taking his place on the bench.

He has managed just 14 Premier League appearances this season after struggling with injury but has still contributed three goals and nine assists.

Manchester United remain in second place following Chelsea's 3-0 reverse against Bournemouth but are now just five points clear of fifth place.
