Paul Pogba caused his Manchester United team-mates 'all sorts of problems' during their 2-0 defeat by Tottenham because of his inability to maintain defensive discipline, claims Danny Murphy.
Few players wearing a red shirt came out of the game with their heads held high, but Pogba was singled out by Murphy after allegedly wandering out of position and leaving the United defence exposed.
While the former Tottenham, Fulham and Charlton star believes Pogba is one of the game's great attacking midfielders, he does not feel he has the mindset to play in the role Jose Mourinho has handed him.

The Frenchman appeared to have words with Jose Mourinho as he was taken off the pitch
The France international was hauled off by Mourinho shortly after the hour mark and appeared to have words with his record signing before finally taking his place on the bench.
He has managed just 14 Premier League appearances this season after struggling with injury but has still contributed three goals and nine assists.
Manchester United remain in second place following Chelsea's 3-0 reverse against Bournemouth but are now just five points clear of fifth place.
