Ibrahimovic: Pogba can cope with '24-hour' pressure on his shoulders

The world's most expensive footballer served up a dismal display against Liverpool but his Man Utd team-mate has backed him to handle expectations

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is confident Paul Pogba can cope with the “24-hour pressure” on his shoulders following his dismal display against Liverpool on Sunday.

Pogba, who joined Manchester United in a world-record transfer from Juventus last summer, gave away the penalty which led to James Milner scoring in his side's 1-1 stalemate in the Premier League.

Ibrahimovic knows all about dealing with pressure, having played for a number of the world's greatest clubs including Juventus, Milan, Barcelona and now United in what has been a stunning career.
