Pogba the best midfielder in Europe despite horrendous 18 months – Neville

Paul Pogba remains “the best midfielder in Europe on his day” despite enduring a “horrendous last 18 months” at Manchester United, says Phil Neville.

The 25-year-old midfielder has endured a testing time since returning to Old Trafford in a record-breaking £89 million ($113m) deal in 2016.

He has thrived on the international stage with France, helping them to World Cup glory over the summer, but has been unable to produce consistent displays at club level.
