Had the 25-year-old not burst onto the scene so spectacularly, he would be considered a fine player, argues the ex-national Under-21 boss
France international star Paul Pogba is a victim of his own success, according to Pierre Mankowski, who is a former coach of the Manchester United midfielder.
Much of the focus ahead of the World Cup with regards the France side has fallen on Pogba, and in particular how the man who was once the most expensive player in world football has failed to live up to such a billing.
It is something that the player admits frustrates him and Mankowski believes that such criticism of the 25-year-old is unjust.
