Former Liverpool skipper Graeme Souness feels that Paul Pogba treats football as a joke.
Pogba scored a brace in Manchester United’s Champions League opener against Young Boys yesterday. The Red Deviils won 3-0 at Old Trafford.
This is Pogba’s second brace for Manchester United and his first in the Champions League.
Despite his fine performance, Souness thinks that the Frenchman needs to work on his attitude.
The former Liverpool skipper said, “If he wants to become a star, someone that can run games and someone people talk about like a proper player, he has to show consistency and leadership.
He has the armband now and he has got to change his attitude – to football. I bet he is a really nice guy but I wonder if he treats football as a bit of a joke. I wonder if he trains properly every day, that is a stab at the dark at something that could improve.
Souness thinks that Paul Pogba hasn’t improved much since he rejoined Manchester United in 2016. He said, “I don’t think he has improved since the day he arrived. I still see the same flaws in him. He came for €100m, you factor in United pay a premium but I don’t see much difference from when he turned up.”
Manchester United next play Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
