Man Utd news: Graeme Souness reveals why Paul Pogba will NEVER be a top player

Souness has been critical of Pogba in the past, describing the Manchester United star as “a bit of a YouTuber” in September.

And following United’s 2-1 win over CSKA Moscow in the Champions League last night, the former Liverpool manager and player was once again scathing in his assessment of the France international.

Pogba grabbed an assist in the second half with a cross into the box which was poked in by Romelu Lukaku.

But Souness was far from impressed with the 24-year-old’s all-round performance.

He told Irish television channel TV3: “When he is on the ball, there’s lots of things to admire. He’s powerful, he’s got good technique, he can wrong foot people, he can ping the ball.

“Where I question him, whether he’ll ever be a top player, is his understanding of the game.

“This isn’t me being an ex-Liverpool player caning a Man Utd player. I thought the same when he was a Juventus player.”

After analysing Pogba’s performance against CSKA, He added: “That is basic stuff you learn in the youth team.

“He’s 24 years old if he’s not got it now when is he gonna get it?

“He hasn’t taken a big game by the scruff of the neck and dominated it.

“He hasn’t got a basic understanding of his position, I can’t see that changing.”
