Former Manchester United player, Paul Ince believes that the Red Devils will only get so much out of Paul Pogba as the players they chose to surround him with.
“People will talk about Paul Pogba and say he should’ve done more,” said the Paddy Power ambassador.
“But there’s only so much he can do when he’s surrounded by the kind of players he is. If he was surrounded by class players, you’d get to see the real Pogba.
“I was fortunate enough to play with the likes of Bryan Robson, Roy Keane and Eric Cantona – world class players – and they make everyone play better.
“United can’t just rely on Pogba and expect that he will do everything, people have to pull their weight and be great around him. Pogba needs and deserves to be in a team full of top players, and I don’t believe that’s Man United at the minute.
“When they’re in the Champions League you realise that a lot of their players just aren’t good enough.
“You look at Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard when they’re playing lower opposition and they look great – but the fact is they’re miles behind the top players. And when you’ve not got many players at the top of their game, consistently brilliant, you will keep getting results like we saw last night.
“They’re being found out.”
Ince added, “Sometimes you can be kidded into thinking that a team is progressing rapidly based on a couple of good results – like the PSG game – but, really, you’ll be found out when you play a team like that.
“They’re years away from most of the top teams in Europe, now. When you look at Manchester City, Liverpool and Barcelona, there’s a huge gap between them and United – it’s a fact.
“But, a distance in class doesn’t mean you can’t try, and try hard to win.”
