Wenger hits out at Man Utd over 'paradoxical' Pogba deal and Sancho pursuit

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has taken a swipe at Manchester United over their handling of Paul Pogba.

Wenger has also questioned United chasing former Manchester City winger Jadon Sancho, now of Borussia Dortmund.

He told BBC Radio 4: "What I find at the moment a little bit surprising is that England made a huge effort to educate young players but the system of the Premier League is so tough and the level is so high that you have paradoxical situations.

"I give you two examples: Pogba was partly educated in England, he went for free and England bought him back for £100million [sic].

Jadon Sancho has been partly educated at Manchester City, if you want him back today you have to pay £100million.

"You buy at a huge price players you have educated yourself. That's something I don't find logical at all."
