Jamie Carragher urges Manchester United to ditch Paul Pogba and David De Gea if they continue to stall over new contracts
The duo's futures are a source of constant speculation - and Carragher argues that players shouldn't be able to hold the club to ransom
Jamie Carragher says Manchester United should 'get rid' of Paul Pogba and David De Gea if they continue to 'mess around' over new contracts.
The pair are reportedly stalling over fresh deals and demanding salary increases amid growing speculation about their futures.
De Gea’s deal runs out in 2020, while World Cup winning midfielder Pogba sees his contract up in 2021.
The duo are widely considered United's star players - but Carragher insists the club could do without them.
Ahead of their shocking 4-0 defeat to Everton, the former Liverpool defender told Sky Sports: "When I was at Liverpool we weren't at a team at the top winning things, and you'd have a great player, Stevie Gerrard, Robbie Fowler, Luis Suarez, and you think you can't lose these players.
