Antonio Conte makes honest assessment of Paul Pogba ahead of weekend clash

Chelsea are set to face Manchester United this weekend in a game that means more than the three points at stake but with one of their star players Paul Pogba not playing at the highest level recently, Jose Mourinho could decided to sit him on the bench.

That has not diverted Conte’s attention off potentially dangerous players at the club. Pogba could be a threat according to the Italian manager.

Mourinho has developed some intense friction with the France international at the club, after reports have it that he is unhappy with Pogba’s play and refusal to stick to instructions during games. That has resulted in the former Juventus star starting from the bench in recent games.

Conte says Pogba is a threat to his side in the game, if he starts and would prefer he continues his bench role lately.

Chelsea would go level on points with Manchester United in the standings, with the Blues currently sitting fourth with 53 minutes while Man United have earned themselves 56 points in second position.
