Souness slams attitude of Man Utd star Pogba: Polar opposite to mine

Liverpool great Graeme Souness have taken fresh aim at Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

Writing for the Sunday Times, Souness took questions about his opinion of the France World Cup winner.

Souness responded: "Pogba has absolutely everything to be a top player - great athleticism, super technique - but his attitude to the game is the polar opposite of mine.

"He goes out with one thought in his mind: 'I'm going to show everyone how clever I am today and be the star of the show.'

"My attitude, the way I was taught, was: 'Go out and work harder than the guy you're in against and see where that takes you.' He'd be an absolute doddle to play against."
