PAUL INCE claims it would be best for Manchester United if they dumped Paul Pogba next month.
The France international, 27, is in the spotlight once again following comments made by agent Mino Raiola declaring his time at Old Trafford is up.

Pogba has just 18 months to run on his current contract.
And there is no shortage of admirers, with Juventus and Real Madrid leading the charge for his signature.
Red Devils chiefs are fuming with the timing of Raiola’s comments, which came shortly before last week’s disastrous Champions League exit at the hands of RB Leipzig.
Pogba was then bizarrely handed a starting role in the 0-0 draw against Manchester City on Saturday.
But United do have a ready-made replacement in £40million summer arrival Donny van de Beek.
And Ince feels Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should cut Pogba loose as soon as possible so the transfer saga can finally be laid to rest.
Ince told Stadium Astro: “The best thing for Manchester United is for Paul Pogba to leave.
“I actually thought when they signed Van de Beek, that they were preparing for Pogba to leave.

“But they clearly aren’t as Van de Beek didn’t get on against Man City, which is embarrassing for me.
“I don’t envisage him being at the club by the summer. He’s got to go, he wants to go. I think it’s best that both parties part ways/
“Under Joes Mourinho there were so many problems coming out in the papers.
“That would never happen under Sir Alex Ferguson, never. It’s from day one that this has happened.
“He’s never really adhered himself to the fans, despite joining as a young kind. His performances were very inconsistent and he started telling fans that he wanted to leave, so they never really took to Pogba.
“Every week, every month, we see something coming out of Old Trafford about Pogba, his agent, and it upsets the club, the fans, the changing rooms.
“It wouldn’t have happened in our time with Roy Keane, Eric Cantona, Mark Hughes. We would deal with players.”
