100 million pounds is according to the appearance of Paul Pogba

DBasia.news – Former Liverpool player and manager who is also football pundit Graeme Souness quipped Paul Pogba who performed brilliantly by making four assists when Manchester United beat Leeds United 5-1, Saturday (14/8).

Souness said what Pogba did was something a 100 million pounds player would have to do.

Pogba, who has 12 months remaining on his contract with Manchester United, impressed in the season opener. Bruno Fernandes contributed all five of United’s goals, who scored his first hat-trick, plus one goal from Mason Greenwood and Fred.

After the match, Souness said that Greenwood was the star of the match, not Pogba.

“For me, the star of the game was Greenwood. As a young player, I thought he was sensational,” Souness told Sky Sports.

His fellow pundit, Micah Richards, laughed and mentioned that Pogba had four assists in that match.

“That’s what a 100 million pounds player has to do,” Souness responded.

“I’ll get straight to the point. They spent  70 million pounds on Jadon Sancho and maybe then thought: ‘Do we need to spend that money?’ That’s strange.”

“Greenwood is a real player, a finisher and I think he will be top,” he added.

Souness’ opinion then made former United center back Rio Ferdinand, rage and posted on his social media expressing his disappointment.

Replying to a post containing Souness’ comments, Ferdinand wrote “Come on Graeme.”

Although Pogba plays a crucial role in Solskjaer’s team, his future is still a matter of speculation.

The French midfielder is reportedly willing to let his contract run out and leave United for free in the summer of 2022.

There is still optimism that the player will extend his stay at Old Trafford after Solskjaer said that they were in negotiations and persuasion.
