“I like Pogba a lot and it’s not new, I know him personally, he’s different, he brings what few can do, because of his qualities, he knows how to attack and defend,” he acknowledged.

Fox Sports Asia Rating: 3/5; Pogba’s gives off a larger than life impression. A readymade caricature almost. Given the recent rumours surrounding how he has been throwing his weight around the United dressing room, much to the dismay of teammates and other club staff, one could understand the concerns of Madrid players and staff.
