Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba claims he has gone from the biggest transfer in the world to the most criticised player in the world.
Pogba played a vital role in France’s 2-1 win over Australia in their opening World Cup match on Saturday, setting up Antoine Griezmann before the forward won a penalty, and then seeing his deflected effort bounce off the underside of the bar and cross the line for the winner.
“It’s funny, I went from the biggest transfer in the world, to the most criticised player in the world. As the coach said, we can do better and we have to do better,” Pogba said.
Pogba agreed with France coach Didier Deschamps that his side must improve after they were pushed all the way by Australia in their World Cup opener.
