Ex-Juventus coach Capello: Pogba relies on physical strength. It doesn't work in England

Former Juventus coach Fabio Capello says his old club did great business selling Paul Pogba to Manchester United.

Pogba has struggled in England since leaving Juve in a €105m deal two summers ago.

Capello scoffed: "The truth is that Pogba makes the difference in Italy, but not in England or on international duty.

"That's because with his physical strength, to us he seems impossible to control, but when he plays elsewhere, he becomes normal.

“I'd say Juventus got themselves a fantastic deal by selling him at that price."
