Paul Pogba has a chance to justify his £89-million price tag in United's Champions League quarterfinal against Barcelona.
Ahead of Barcelona’s Champions League trip to Old Trafford, the Catalans’ president has admitted even they could not compete with Manchester United’s then world record offer to bring Paul Pogba back to England in 2016.“So he went to United, and he’s making them better as a team because he’s one of the stars of the world of football right now.”
Benched for both legs of a bitterly disappointing last 16 exit to Sevilla last season by Jose Mourinho due to personal differences and poor performances, Pogba’s only previous start ended in a red card and a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain back in February. An upturn in form was immediate. Pogba scored nine goals and created six more in his first 12 games under Solskjær.
However, United are entitled to want Pogba to show the potential Zidane spoke of on a more regular basis.
