P. Scholes: P. Pogba should stop trying to imitate L. Messi

"Manchester United" club legend Paul Scholes criticized the world's most expensive footballer Paul Pogba. According to the former footballer, the Frenchman is too individualistic, trying to do everything on his own.

Paul Pogba, who returned to Manchester for a record 105 million euros, cannot boast of great performance so far. Yesterday, "Man Utd" suffered a defeat against "Feyenoord" in the UEFA Europa League group stage match with the Frenchman in the lead.

"I think Pogba tries too hard to play with the ball alone. He tries to beat three or four players. Pogba should play a little simpler," said the legend of the "Red Devils" to "BT Sport".

"Man Utd" didn't buy such a player. They didn't acquire Lionel Messi, who could beat four or five players. They bought a powerful midfielder who could control the ball.

"He has great skills - can make passes forward, can run with the ball. If he just touches the ball twice and passes it to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, no one could deal with that. Pogba is a very powerful player," added P. Scholes.

The former footballer also added that the "Man Utd" team needed a player like Luka Modric or Toni Kroos.
