Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Parker has cautioned his former team against rehiring Paul Pogba.
Parker thinks the Premier League team would deteriorate if Pogba returned to the Red Devils.
However, he advised Ruben Amorim’s team to put more effort into finding players that have the proper mindset.
Pogba is set to return to football in March after his four-year doping ban was reduced to 18 months.
The French midfielder has had two previous stints with Manchester United.
The 31-year-old is now a free agent after his contract with Juventus was terminated.
Speaking to GOAL, Parker said of Pogba: “You have got to look at how long he has been out. You have got to look at what he is already doing publicity-wise and putting himself out there.
“It’s going backwards again. They went backwards getting him before. There was a reason why Sir Alex let him go. They respected that there was something that wasn’t right.
“They tried it again, and it didn’t work. To go back now, for me, it wouldn’t be the manager’s decision.
“That would be undermining the manager. It’s not a step forward.”
