Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has jumped to the defence of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

Pogba was hooked during defeat at Newcastle United on Sunday.

"When you have quality, people expect you to do wonders," said Henry.

"In France people love him, he's not a holding midfielder. Does he have an impact on the game of a holding midfielder?

"No. Is he N'Golo Kante? No. Pogba has more in his DNA to be up there, to create."
