Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has said that it is difficult to concentrate on football following France’s World Cup win.
Pogba was an integral player in France’s World Cup win this summer where he also scored in the final.
The Frenchman however, is far from replicating his World Cup form for United this season. Pogba’s performances this season have been exactly like a sinusoidal wave- with ups and downs.
There have been numerous doubts about Pogba’s future, specially when there are reports of an ongoing rift between him and Jose Mourinho.
Pogba said that it has been hard for him to focus on football after winning the World Cup. He said, “It’s hard to concentrate, to start again, to hit hard, because we touched the stars. For us, it was the best trophy you can win as a footballer.
But we like challenges too. We have goals. For example, I’ve never won the Premier League, that’s an objective. I’d like to do that.”
Manchester United are currently 8th in the Premier League table with 13 points. Their next match is against Chelsea on the 20th.
Pogba is now training with the national team. France play a friendly against Iceland today before a Nations League fixture against Germany on Tuesday.
