Manchester United midfielder, Nemanja Matic has stated that fellow teammate, Paul Pogba needs to ‘take more responsibility’ for the Red Devils.
Matic believes the French international, who has been criticised for some of his displays this term, with manager, Jose Mourinho unhappy with his form at different times, will only get better but must step up his performances to deliver more for United.
“With his quality, personality, he needs to have more confidence, needs to take more responsibility,” Matic told UK newspapers ahead of United’s FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham on Saturday evening.
“Of course he’s still young, he can improve and he will improve and he showed in this game [against City] that he always can play better and better.
“He took responsibility, he scored and give to other players more confidence – after his first goal we started to believe we can do something. It is exactly what he has to do.”
Matic added, “He is a great player”.
“He runs a lot, has quality with the ball, he can score and he can also defend very well.”
Pogba has scored five goals and assisted 10 in 23 Premier League appearances this season.
