Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 Manchester United: FA Cup, 5 players who were poor for United

#1 Paul Pogba

Pogba had a hard night

The Frenchman has been guilty of switching off in games, but since Solskjaer's arrival, those off days had been rare. Pogba is the heart of this United team and it is clear that when he does not play well, United find it hard to break down the opposition. Under Solskjaer's guidance, his teammates had often taken up the responsibilities whenever Pogba had a hard night. Unfortunately for him, no such thing happened against Wolves.

Pogba was slow right from the start and failed to live up to the occasion, even though he had the armband on. As a midfielder, he was busy, but ineffective, as the creative heart of the team, he was lost.

Granted, the static front men did not do him too many favours, but Pogba has the ability to see off rigid defences with a stroke of the ball, yet seemed directionless. United, sadly, had no one else to count on.

But it was the fact that he lacked inspiration as the captain that should worry the United management. He failed to charge his troops and lacked that die-hard spirit of United captains that has often helped the Red Devils mount comebacks in games.
