Liverpool legend Souness: Pogba treats his career like a joke

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness says Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba needs to change his attitude.

The French midfielder stole the show as Manchester United opened their Champions League account with a 3-0 win over Young Boys.

But Souness remains skeptical and suggested Pogba's attitude is not as it should be for a top player.

"If he wants to become a star, someone that can run games and someone people talk about like a proper player, he has to show consistency and leadership," Souness said on Virgin Media Sport.

"He has the armband now and he has got to change his attitude - to football.

"I bet he is a really nice guy but I wonder if he treats football as a bit of a joke.

"I wonder if he trains properly every day, that is a stab at the dark at something that could improve."
