Wigan boss Joyce: Pogba secret is his massive heart

Wigan Athletic boss Warren Joyce has spoken of working with Manchester United star Paul Pogba.

Joyce worked with Pogba as United youth coach.

And ahead of their FA Cup tie, he told The Sun: “Take Paul Pogba who I spent two-and-a-half years with the first time at United.

“I knew then that he was desperate to be a successful player at United, still is.

“Certainly he has God–given talent and has to hone it of course. But any coach who says they have 'made' a Pogba, Rashford or a Rooney are deluded.

“The talent they have is genetic. Pogba has it. He has fantastic physical, technical and mental attitudes.

“But he also has a massive heart and that is part of what helps him tick every box.

“You look at them then and look at them now and they pretty much get to where you thought they would."
