Paul Pogba is not world class “in any shape or form”, says former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen, with the French midfielder told he needs to work harder and deliver on expectation before he can be considered elite.
Plenty would have the World Cup winner in that category when performing at the peak of his powers, however, showings of such quality have been in short supply throughout a second spell at Old Trafford.
Pogba remains United’s £89 million ($115m) club-record signing, and a man who continues to see regular game, but consistency has been an issue amid regular questioning of his form and future.
