Louis Saha slams Manchester United transfer policy amid 'sad' Paul Pogba exit

Louis Saha has suggested Manchester United allowing Paul Pogba to run out his contract and leave for free was a major error.

The club confirmed on Wednesday that the player was indeed leaving after months of speculation. He arrived in 2016 from Juventus for a then-world record fee of £89million, but many supporters feel he did not live up to his price tag.

Saha has taken a diplomatic view of Pogba's departure from Old Trafford. The former United striker said that while he understood Pogba’s frustrations with injury and other aspects, ultimately his time at the club was “disappointing”.
