Former Manchester United winger, Ryan Giggs, has said the club’s record signing Paul Pogba has “not been brilliant” this season, but added that he has “not been bad” either.
Pogba returned to Old Trafford in a £89.3million move last summer, but has failed to light up the Premier League as many United fans expected.
However, Giggs who played over 900 times for the club, won many trophies and was caretaker manager for a brief spell, insists the 23-year-old will come good.
“I have never seen a 23-year-old midfield player dominate games for a whole season,” he said.
“So, the £90 million that they paid is what obviously people focus on and what people talk about.
“He will become a brilliant midfielder; there is no doubt in that.
“I think he scored seven or eight goals, again, not many midfielders at 23 will do that… but because he cost so much, he is compared with that price tag when actually, he has done okay this season.
“Okay, not brilliant but not really bad. So yeah, I think a lot people should cut him a bit of slack.”
