'No one shouts at Messi for walking' - Pogba hits back at style critics

Arguing he's had success before while maintaining a similar flair, the Manchester United midfielder has dismissed the calls of pundits

Paul Pogba has hit back at critics who have questioned his style of play and off the field actions, arguing it would be no different than slamming Lionel Messi for “walking” on the pitch.

The Manchester United midfielder has starred for club and country in the past, starting both the 2015 Champions League final for Juventus the Euro 2016 final for France, though both matches ended in defeat for Pogba.

However since his record move to the Red Devils in the summer of 2016, Pogba has come under fire for everything from his social media accounts to his choice of hair colour, while also appearing to clash with manager Jose Mourinho.
