Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan believes Paul Pogba is yet to showcase his best display for the Red Devils and has matured more as a player in recent times.
The French midfielder had looked a pale shadow of himself under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho but the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer restored his freedom as the 26 year old has been the driving force behind United’s resurgent form.
The lanky World Cup winner has registered 14 goals so far in all competitions for the Red Devils which is his best tally in a single season so far. With a number of clubs hovering around for his signature Phelan insists Pogba still has works to finish at the club.
“I think that happened to quite a few players, they probably drew into themselves a little bit and were very cautious.
“Paul had a spell where all the eyes were on him and delivery of his best wasn’t there all the time – the consistency.
“Now we are trying to apply ourselves to Paul’s game. Ole has done a terrific job at helping Paul through certain spells and he has embraced that. He is maturing all the time.”
“He is not the finished deal even though everyone looks at him and sees a World Cup winner already. But he is not the finished deal, there is still a lot more to come and that is the exciting bit about United
“There are players there who haven’t achieved for the club what they need to achieve and we want to make sure that they relish that experience, embrace the opportunity to win things at Manchester United.”
