P. Scholes: Pogba is a brave footballer

"Manchester United" legend Paul Scholes insists that club newcomer Paul Pogba is unfairly criticized and he is pleased with his bravery on the field.

It shouldn't be surprising that all fans and experts often focus on the Frenchman, as last summer he became the world's most expensive footballer.

However, this season he has already played 41 games and has been struggling with a significant workload along with a minor ankle injury.

"I think Pogba has done well," Scholes, who won 11 "Premier League" titles with the "Red Devils," told Omnisport. "I know he has been criticized a bit, but from what I have seen, he is a brave young player."

"He is always willing to take the ball. He is always trying something - he will try to pass the ball, he will try shots on goal. I think his first season and settling again in England was good."

"It is not always easy, but I think he has performed well and can only improve."
