Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has launched a new attack on Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

Pogba shone in last night's Champions League triumph over CSKA Moscow.

Souness, working on Irish TV, was far more scathing with his assessment of the former Juventus star.

He told TV3: “When he is on the ball, there's lots of things to admire. He's powerful, he's got good technique, he can wrong foot people, he can ping the ball.

"Where I question him, whether he'll ever be a top player, is his understanding of the game.

“This isn't me being an ex-Liverpool player caning a Man United player. I thought the same when he was a Juventus player."

He added: “That is basic stuff you learn in the youth team. He's 24 years old if he's not got it now when is he gonna get it?

"He hasn't taken a big game by the scruff of the neck and dominated it. He hasn't got a basic understanding of his position, I can't see that changing."
