For over a year, Rene Meulensteen, who has worked at "Manchester United" club with Sir Alex Ferguson, pointed out what prevents Paul Pogba from fully revealing himself within the ranks of the "Red Devils."
The 26-year-old Frenchman has impressive statistics this season in his position - 16 goals and 11 assists. Nevertheless, P. Pogba still faces criticism from those around him.
According to R. Meulensteen, P. Pogba was used to playing alongside top-class midfielders at "Juventus" and in the French capital, while at "Man Utd" he lacks support.
"If he doesn't receive enough support from the players around him, he finds it difficult to control the game," the Dutchman highlighted the main problem.
"At Juventus, he had players like Pirlo, Marchisio, and Vidal beside him, and in the French national team - Kante. Playing with them, he showed a completely different level."
Moreover, the pace of matches in Italy and the Premier League is completely different. In England, action constantly takes place, so you need to be focused both defensively and during opponent attacks.
If we look at Pogba's best matches at "Man Utd," they were when he played alongside Herrera. They complement each other well.
Herrera allows Pogba to move more freely towards the opponent's penalty area and make a pass there. Herrera brings balance to the game. I don't think I've seen two other midfielders who complement each other as well," Meulensteen said.
