Paul Pogba, a midfielder for Juventus, has come under fire from Liverpool legend Graeme Souness, who claims that the player’s stint at Manchester United was a “mitigated disaster.”
In 2016, Pogba moved from Juventus to Man United for a then-record sum of €105 million.
The France international had a promising beginning to his second stint at Old Trafford, but eventually had a falling-out with the Red Devils.
Ultimately, Pogba rejoined Juventus after leaving Man United as a free agent at the conclusion of the previous campaign.
Souness stated on talkSPORT of Pogba’s tenure at Man United: “I think Manchester United are a fantastic football club, they genuinely are, one of, if not the biggest in the world, glamorous and most successful. Who was the first to refer to Pogba as a pudding, if I may just ask? I’ll end here.
I can remember the first time I saw him, it was the semi-final of the Champions League, Juve vs Real Madrid. I was with Jamie Redknapp and Thierry [Henry], Jamie was raving about this young midfielder, wait till you see him.
“And I came away from the game thinking ‘he’s not for me’. Never has been and I think I’ve been proved right and his time at Manchester United is a mitigated failure.”
