Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has hit at his critics in a heated interview with France Football ahead of the World Cup over ‘walking on the pitch.
The Frenchman, since joining United for a then world-record fee of £89million, has come in for heavy criticism following his high-profile move in the summer of 2016.
However, it isn’t just club football where he is struggling. Pogba was jeered by France supporters when he was substituted against Italy last Friday night.
Pogba defended his style of play saying that he has always been like that and that it is his style of play.
‘You’re not going to criticise a Messi when he walks on the pitch. He puts three goals in and you will say “ah but he is walking on the pitch?” No. You can not tell me how to play. Nobody can tell me how to play. If I’m here today, it’s like I am. Nobody told me how to be. It’s my football, that’s all. Whether people like it or not.’ He said
