France Cannot Rely on Pogba’s Talents Alone

Didier Deschamps has warned his France squad that they cannot rely on the talents of Paul Pogba if they are to go far at the World Cup.

The Manchester United midfielder had a difficult second season in the Premier League, reportedly seeing his relationship with Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho strained, and was booed by French supporters on international duty recently.

Pogba was the starring name for Les Bleus during the European Championships in 2016, where France were defeated by Portugal in the final, but has struggled to maintain those level since leaving Juventus.

“Paul Pogba can do everything but he cannot do everything all alone,” the France boss told a news conference on Friday.

“It [his performance against Italy] was not the best, that’s for sure, but I have talked to him about it.

“There’s no problem.”
