Kilbane still unimpressed by Man Utd midfielder Pogba

Former Everton defender Kevin Kilbane remains unimpressed by Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

United travel to Wembley to face Spurs in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first big test at 4.30pm.

"It's all very well strutting his stuff now Jose Mourinho is gone - Paul Pogba needs to show he's not a one trick pony today," Kilbane told the Daily Mail.

"He could be one of the Premier League's best midfielders but he is quite obviously a weak player who needs someone to tell him how good he is all the time, before he can perform.

"Clearly Mourinho was not the ideal manager to get the best out of the Frenchman.

"But then the former United and Chelsea boss has shown little sympathy for dozens of mavericks or pretty average players throughout his career.

"The relationship between the two was poison but while Pogba is undoubtedly very talented, and now a World Cup winner, he has been really poor and remarkably inconsistent in this second spell at Old Trafford."
