Arsenal legend Robert Pires says returning to Manchester United was a good choice by Paul Pogba.

The former Juventus midfielder joined the Old Trafford outfit for a world record £89million move in the summer transfer window.

Pires told Sky Sports: "He had a lot of pressure because some people were talking about his price tag, but you must not forget that Paul Pogba is a young player and in France we say he needs time to adapt.

"I think that is very important as the Premier League is very hard, difficult and tough, it is not only for the game, it is every morning in the training sessions.

"I know Paul, I am very confident for him, but I think Man Utd is a good choice for him and if you work with Jose Mourinho you can learn a lot.

"The first season is very difficult, it is like a transition for him as he used to play for Juventus in Italy and so everything is different. You cannot compare France, Italy, Spain, Germany, UK, they are not the same.

"And that is why the time adaptation is very important for Paul Pogba and the other players."
