Paul Pogba "not enjoying" himself at Man Utd, says Didier Deschamps

France coach Didier Deschamps says Paul Pogba "can't be happy" with his current situation at Manchester United.
Pogba has started on the bench in each of United's last three matches – against Liverpool in the Premier League, Sevilla in the Champions League and Brighton in the FA Cup.
The former Juventus midfielder made a flying start to the season, scoring in each of United's opening two league matches.
But he has found the net just once in all competitions since then, finding himself in and out of the first team and seemingly out of favour with Jose Mourinho.
And Deschamps thinks Pogba's situation at Old Trafford must be far from enjoyable.
"I don't know what it is. I'm sure I'll hear about it. Of course, it's a situation he won't be enjoying," said Deschamps, via Sky Sports.
"As to why or how things came to this, there may be many reasons. I have a great deal of talks with players at our training camps, to gauge their feelings. It's not just Paul.
"Obviously, this is a situation he won't appreciate in relation to everything he's done. There can be many, varied reasons. He can't be happy with what he's going through with his club."
Where have things gone wrong for Pogba?
Manchester United parted ways with a then-record fee of £89.3 million to re-sign Pogba in the summer of 2016.
But despite some flashes of his true quality, Pogba has struggled to live up to expectations at Old Trafford, scoring 12 goals in 78 appearances in all competitions.
His struggles could be put down to high expectations following his impressive spell at Juventus and the huge transfer fee that came with the move.
A difficult relationship with Mourinho can't be helping matters, although perhaps Pogba's inconsistencies are down to his own lack of application.
