da poker： In his column for The Mirror, Stan Collymore shared his thoughts on Paul Pogba’s situation at Manchester United.
The former Liverpool ace revealed that he wished he’d studied how his future teammates played before making the move to Anfield, as he struggled without midfielders who would play the ball over the top to him, whilst he also felt that he couldn’t run with the ball due to Steve McManaman’s presence.
Collymore suggested that Pogba may have thought twice about making the move to Old Trafford had he studied his future teammates, but felt the lure of a romantic return in a world-record transfer move may have been too much to turn down.
Could United be in the hunt for an £85m blockbuster signing this summer? Check out the video below…
Yet the Mirror columnist had another point to make; he thinks Pogba has been let down and pointed the finger at the Old Trafford club.
What did Collymore say?
The former Red wrote: “Imagine if Pogba had played with Roy Keane or Patrick Vieira alongside him – he’d be elevated to super world class.
“United have also let Pogba down by failing to sign the player or players who’d bring out the best in him.”
It’s the other way round!
United have let Pogba down? More like the other way round.
The France international made a mockery of the club by falling out with Jose Mourinho last season and then seemingly downing tools until the Portuguese’s departure – this was evidenced when he burst into form in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s early days and looked a completely different player.
The former Juventus man had also talked up a move to Real Madrid midway through the season, and came out yet again just last week to say that he fancied a new challenge ‘somewhere else’ – he has been utterly disrespectful to a club that bends over backwards for him more often than not.
The idea of needing to build around Pogba is nothing new and a common argument whenever top talents don’t perform consistently well. But there’s the other side to that coin too; why isn’t Pogba’s quality – which saw him lift the World Cup with France last summer – getting the best out of those around him?
Pogba is the one who has let United down – on the pitch, in public and behind the scenes.
