Matthaus raps Man Utd star Pogba: You're no Steven Gerrard

German legend Lothar Matthaus insists Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is no leader.

Matthaus feels to United midfielder will never be a “real leader" like Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, now Rangers manager.

“People ask whether Paul Pogba can be a leader or a captain at Manchester United," said Matthaus.

“He is a key player, a good player and he plays in the right position, but for me he isn't a real leader like (Steven) Gerrard.

“You have to be really serious all the time – you can't always be everywhere on social media.

“For me, Pogba shows too much of himself. I can't say he's a player who can push the team, because he's focus so much on himself.

“If you want to be a captain or a leader, you always have to give the feeling that you're thinking for the team, not just yourself."
