PAUL POGBA had another night to forget after his savaging in the Manchester derby.
He was accused of treating Saturday’s defeat to City like he was the best player in the schoolyard.
Sky pundit Jamie Carragher slammed him for running where he wanted with no discipline.
Five days later and the £89million man was given more freedom but was certainly not the best player on the pitch at Feyenoord’s De Kuip home.
The world’s most expensive footballer is yet to nail down his position at Manchester United.
He has been tried in front of the back four and as a No 10.
And Old Trafford legend Paul Scholes declared: “It’s been a struggle for him, I don’t know what position he is playing. He seems all over the place at times.

“United did not buy a Lionel Messi to beat five men, they bought a powerful midfield player.
