Deschamps: Pogba trying too hard at Man Utd

France coach Didier Deschamps feels Paul Pogba is trying too hard at Manchester United.

Deschamps believes because of his €100 million price-tag, Pogba is trying to justify the valuation by pulling off outrageous pieces of skill.

"Even when he does things well, it's not enough. So we can understand that it can make him do things that are out of the ordinary, but that are not necessarily useful," said Deschamps.

"Afterwards, there is the character of Paul Pogba, with his media aspect, social networks, his transfer. It is not for nothing. It was not he who fixed the price.

"Now, honestly, he does not need the pressure."
