‘Pogba’s been erratic but he’s an exceptional player’ – Former Man Utd coach backing Frenchman to come good

Steve Round, who worked at Old Trafford alongside David Moyes and once scouted a World Cup winner, admits he has been a big miss for the Red Devils

Paul Pogba remains an “exceptional player”, says former Manchester United coach Steve Round, with the midfielder still looking to “find his way” through some rather “erratic” form.

The French midfielder became the most expensive player in world football when returning to Old Trafford from Juventus for £89 million ($117m) in the summer of 2016.

Four productive years in Turin, after emerging out of the Red Devils’ youth system, had earned him a billing as one of the finest talents on the planet.
