Ibrahimovic: Pogba Needs Guidance At Manchester United

By Joshua Walters

Paul Pogba needs guidance to help him realise his full potential at Manchester United, says Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swede striker signed for Manchester United from Paris Saint-German in 2016, at age 35, and left for United State of America’s Major League Soccer side, LA Galaxy in 2018.

Ibrahimovic recounts that he saw a lot of immaturity in the Manchester United side during his days, and particularly in Paul Pogba, whom he also saw had the potential but needed guidance to strive.

"I had a good time because I got to know everyone. I was the matured guy with all these guys who were not matured."

"I had never played with Paul Pogba and didn't know him as a person. We have the same management and when I got to know him, I got to find a fantastic person and a fantastic footballer, but someone who needs to be guided.”

"He is a professional guy that works in every game and never misses training or a game. Those are all the things that people do not see. You only get judged by what you can see on television or the 90 minutes in the stadium, that's where you have to perform.”
