“I think Raheem Sterling, with all the stats from last year and everything he’s done nobody talks about it like we should.
“He has ridiculous stats, he’s scored goals and made a hat-trick not long ago. He’s been top with City.
“What I’ve been seeing is he’s been criticised for houses and what I’ve been hearing things about, but nobody talks about what he’s been doing on the pitch.
“Maybe if he was somebody else, it would be different.”
Pogba continued, saying there is no place for racism in football.
“I always say racism in football shouldn’t happen, because football is a sport, a beautiful sport and makes people happy,” he said.
“When somebody is doing a great job, he should deserve the same reward as somebody else who does the same job.”
