Pogba has failed to live up to expectations since returning to Old Trafford from Juventus in 2016
That brought about rumours that the midfielder would return to Juventus, while PSG were also reportedly interested
Transfer gossip seems to have calmed as Pogba aims to help France win the World Cup for the first time since 1998
But the 2014 World Cup's Best Young Player has again failed to live up to expectations, though France have qualified for the last-16
And Souness has told Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho one way of getting the best out of Pogba next season
"He's 25 and needs help," Souness said. "You can go through his pluses; he's got great athleticism and technique but he doesn't play the game in his head
"A flick and a trick are more important than closing down an opponent to make him play a bad pass and intercept it
"I think why Mourinho gets the hump is because he's got the fast-forward gear going up the pitch and then the jogging gear coming back
That irritates you. "For me, I think he is an impact substitute. You ain't going to bring Paul Pogba onto the pitch if you are 1-0 up and you are looking to hold onto something
"He is not disciplined. If he is a sub you bring him on when you are chasing the game
In two or three years he might develop into a holding midfield player but I am not quite sure what he is at the moment
" Pogba will hope to be part of the France side that plays Argentina in the last 16 of the World Cup on Saturday (3pm)
