Gary Neville’s reaction to Pogba and Sanchez being dropped will divide Man Utd fans

Tell us what you really think, Gary!

Gary Neville has never been one to bite his tongue, especially when it comes to issues at Old Trafford. Whether it’s a problem with the manager, the players, the board or the atmosphere, the former Man Utd defender is always open to providing his thoughts to the masses.

Thankfully, in that regard at least, there appears to be no shortage of issues at the moment, and today is the perfect example of just that.

Responding to a Telegraph which suggested that Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez might be dropped ahead of the Red Devils’ FA Cup semi-final with Tottenham, Neville tweeted a fairly straightforward “Good!”.

Now, neither Pogba nor Sanchez have particularly covered themselves in glory in recent weeks, as most fans will agree, but even for a man as forthright as Neville it is still a bit surprising to see him declaring such vociferous backing for them to be dropped.

The comment will likely divide Manchester United fans, many of whom seem unable to agree on whether either Pogba or Sanchez actually deserve to be in the team, or are just being selected based on reputation and the size of their wage packet.

What do you reckon? Is Neville right? Should Pogba and Sanchez be dropped or are they the latest scapegoats at Old Trafford?
