Henrikh Mkhitaryan has expressed his belief that Paul Pogba is unfairly judged at Manchester United, and has urged people to "criticise him for his bad performance, not his hairstyle".
Pogba has been the subject of much scrutiny during his second spell at Old Trafford, with it suggested that the midfielder hasn't done enough to justify the £89 million ($124m) fee the Red Devils spent to bring him back from Juventus in 2016.
Questions have been asked over the Frenchman's commitment to United's cause, but Roma's Mkhitaryan has jumped to his former team-mate's defence ahead of their Europa League semi-final meeting on Thursday.
