Man Utd fullback Shaw: Pogba a beast - no reason for break

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw is full of praise for Paul Pogba after Friday's win over Leicester City.

Pogba played 80 minutes without taking part in preseason.

But Shaw told MUTV: "Paul doesn't need a break.

"Honestly, he's a beast! He's unbelievable. He only came back three or four days before the game and it just shows how important he is for the team.

"He was captain and is a very, very big leader in the dressing room, as you'll have seen that in the videos from France [at the World Cup] of course."

Pogba has assisted the England international off the field and it is clear the pair enjoy a great relationship.

“For me, he's helped me a lot – we've spoken a bit,"“ said Luke. ""He's a wonderful guy and an even better player on the pitch. Honestly, he's so important for us. Like I said, he's only been here for three or four days and to put in a performance like that was unbelievable."
