Expectations of Paul Pogba too high - France boss Didier Deschamps

France head coach Didier Deschamps says that expectations surrounding Manchester United's Paul Pogba are too high.

Midfielder Pogba has made an unconvincing start to his second stint at the club, having rejoined them for a wold record transfer fee of £89.3m from Juventus over the summer. On Sunday, the Frenchman missed clear scoring chances in United's 1-1 draw against Stoke City at Old Trafford.

Speaking at a news conference at Clairefontaine, Deschamps said: "He has changed his club team and needs to find his bearing with his new teammates. With Paul, we always expect more.
