'Pogba would be a doddle to play against' - Souness confident he could shackle Man Utd midfielder

Paul Pogba would be "an absolute doddle to play against" because of his poor work ethic, according to Graeme Souness.

The Liverpool legend is a long-time critic of the Manchester United midfielder and reckons he would easily get the better of the World Cup-winning Frenchman.

While Souness lauded Pogba's technical and physical attributes, he blasted the 27-year-old's attitude.

Writing in his column in The Times, Souness responded to a reader's question about his supposed "disdain" for Pogba.

"Pogba has absolutely everything to be a top player — great athleticism, super technique — but his attitude to the game is the polar opposite of mine," wrote the Scot, who won the top flight five times as a Liverpool player.
