Ruud Gullit's words will sting Paul Pogba. When the Dutchman looks back on a life well lived, he will likely place about as much significance on his punditry work as astronaut Buzz Aldrin will the Quaker Oats he advertises, but nonetheless, a blunt assessment from a Ballon d'Or winner is never a nice way to start a Sunday.
Relayed by the Sunday Mirror's Simon Mullock, it is a withered assessment Gullit gives of Pogba's second spell at Manchester United. An unusually didactic tone sees the Dutchman compare him to the recently offloaded Memphis Depay, a winger who arrived from PSV Eindhoven driving a Rolls Royce and left for Lyon on a pony—with not a single best-in-show rosette to show for his time in Manchester.
