Paul Pogba's personal barber has defended the Manchester United midfielder's form.

Pogba has beem criticised for caring more about his haircut than he is about playing football.

But Pogba's barber Ahmed Alsanawi told the Sportsman: “People say 'What's the haircut?'

“Think about it, they're always on TV, millions and millions of people are watching them.

“What would you rather look like? S***, or good?

“People don't get that and it winds me up sometimes.

“Hair is the crown you wear.

“If I'm going out, and my hair is messy and my beard is all over the place, my confidence isn't going to be as good as if I have a proper decent fade and I'm feeling myself.

"That's every aspect of life, anything; if you feel confident in yourself and the haircut makes you feel that way, you're going to perform better."
