Paul Pogba's Man United struggles are just like 'flash in the pan' Juan Sebastian Veron insist Richards and Shearer ... with the ex-Argentina midfielder's ability 'off the scale' but he lacked 'consistency' to fulfil his talent - much like the Frenchman

Paul Pogba has been likened to former Manchester United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron in failing to maximise his potential at Old Trafford.

Much like Pogba, United made Veron a record transfer when he joined for £28million from Serie A giants Lazio.

A lot was expected of the then Argentina international but he fell well short of expectations and left two years later filed as a 'flop' of the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

Pogba returned to United in 2016 and while he has stayed far longer than Veron did, the 28-year-old's struggles have been likened to the Argentine by Micah Richards and Alan Shearer.
