Pogba made a horrible error that almost cost the Red Devils conceding but a timely intervention from Eric Bailly saved Pogba's blushes.

After 68 minutes, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer substituted the France international for Nemaja Matic as Cristiano Ronaldo scored a late goal to keep United on top of Group F.

What Scholes said about Pogba

Scholes did not mince words when he made an assessment of Pogba at the Stadio di Bergamo as the legendary midfielder told BT Sport:

"How old he? 28? He's a really experienced player. But he's one of them that will get to 35 and be exactly the same.
"He'll still be doing the stupid stuff where he's stud rolling the ball, holding people off showing how strong and skillful he is.
"The biggest thing with Paul is his concentration. He goes away with the fairies at times.
"You think of the Juventus team he played in, where he was brilliant and was why we signed him.
"The experience around him - [Andrea] Pirlo, [Giorgi] Chiellini, [Leonardo] Bonucci, [Gianluigi] Buffon, an aggressive manager...
"He will need that treatment until he's 35."

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that Paul Scholes has stated that Paul Pogba should not play for Manchester United again after adding to the club's problems when he came in as a substitute during the loss to Liverpool, The Sun, Metro.

The Red Devils legend believes that the two key incidents that made United concede a fifth goal and Pogba's sending off are totally unacceptable.

The French midfielder who was kept on the bench in the first half came in for Mason Greenwood at the start of the second period.
