WHAT BROWN SAID
While Pogba is unquestionably short on match sharpness, ex-United defender Wes Brown is convinced that a proven performer will star for Monaco. He has told Bestnewbingosites.co.uk: “I’m not surprised at all that he is back, and Paul Pogba returning to football is great for the game. He is an extremely talented player that crowds enjoy watching, so it will be interesting to see how it goes for him. He will just want to play football now.
“It will have been a tough few years for him, but he will be relieved to be back. I’m sure we will see some great performances from him; he can be a walking highlight reel. I wish him luck getting back into football.”
