Pogba Urges United To "Wake Up"

Paul Pogba says Manchester United need to "wake up" after three successive draws over the festive period.

The Reds have been held by Leicester City, Burnley and Southampton and the Frenchman, who captained the side against the Saints and had a late goal ruled out for offside, says the team needs to act with Chelsea moving into second place in the Premier League table as a consequence.

Pogba was clearly frustrated in his exclusive post-match interview with MUTV and aiming to ensure the team returns to winning ways against Everton on Monday.

"Of course we wanted to win today," he said. "We drew again. We didn't lose today but we have to wake up, bounce back and get back to winning. The three draws we have to win, something has to change and we have to change to win.

"We have to rest," he added. "It's only one day and then we have to play against Everton - that's football. Even if we were to play tomorrow, we'd want to win then as well, that’s not going to change. We forget about today, tomorrow’s another day and we have to go out there and win."

Pogba also bemoaned the loss of Romelu Lukaku, who picked up a nasty head injury in the first half.

"When we have Romelu, he makes it difficult for defenders and creates so much space as well," said Pogba. "He's a big miss for us but we have the team to fill the gap of Romelu."
