The £89 million star has become embroiled in a personal battle with his manager after seeing his value to the Red Devils cause called into question.
Pogba has been benched and left out due to injury of late, with the 25-year-old struggling to prove his worth to those inside and outside of Old Trafford.
Former France international Petit believes a fellow countryman needs to look at himself for answers in an unsettling saga, with it up to him to play his way out of a slump and improve relations at United.
He told RMC: "Paul, I'll give him a little bit of advice - change attitude a bit.
"He should stop making it a Mourinho-Pogba duel because the club of Manchester United is much more important than those two guys.
"Right now, he's making it personal and you can clearly see that on the pitch as he is sending out a lot of negative signals.
"It gets tiresome when you're sulking permanently."
Petit is not the first to have questioned Pogba during a testing period at Old Trafford, with former United stars Roy Keane and Paul Ince having taken aim at the midfielder this week.
In the wake of another uninspiring performance off the bench in a Champions League defeat to Sevilla, Keane accused the Red Devils’ record signing of playing like “a schoolboy” while Ince branded him “sulky”.
