Vieira warns Man Utd ace Pogba: Don't try too hard!

Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira believes Paul Pogba will struggle to live with his €100 million price-tag at Manchester United.

Vieira – also a former Juventus star – is a player who came to England and became an iconic midfielder in the Premier League.

The New York City FC coach said: “I'm a massive fan of Pogba. I think he's a fantastic player, no doubt about it.

“But at the same time I believe the Premier League is different, and there will be a lot of pressure on his shoulders because of the price tag and expectation."

Vieira warned the young midfielder he will not have it all his own way in England.

He added: “He will have to find the right balance because if he thinks he will win games by himself that will be a massive mistake for him.

“If he tries to do something that he can't do that will be a massive mistake as well."
