Former Manchester United midfielder offers Paul Pogba advice Former Manchester United midfielder and current pundit Paul Scholes has suggested that his former colleague, Paul Pogba, needs to find consistency in order to be a success at the club. The French midfielder, who returned to United in 2016 after four years at Juventus has shown flashes and patches of the form that persuaded the club to offer £89m for his services, but is coming off the back of an excellent display in this summer’s World Cup in Russia, which Didier Deschamps’ side won. Still, Scholes believes that this issue of regularly offering up quality performances is something that the player himself needs to address. “Paul needs to find a consistency, I think,” said Scholes in an interview with beIN Sports with quotes carried by Goal. “You look at his game, he can be brilliant one week and not so good the next week. “He seems to be a player which you get a performance out of every three to four games.

Man United and France midfielder Paul Pogba previews the 2018 World Cup final Paul Pogba is determined to go one better than Euro 2016 and win the 2018 World Cup with France, as he prepares for the biggest game of his career. The Manchester United midfielder has enjoyed a magnificent tournament and has been one of the shining lights during Les Bleus’ journey to the final, where they will take on Croatia in Russia on Sunday at 16:00 BST. Two years ago, Didier Deschamps’s side also reached the European Championship final as the host nation but fell at the last hurdle, losing 1-0 to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal after extra time. However, Pogba is desperate to banish the memories from that disappointing night at the Stade de France and bring joy to the people of France. “I know the taste of defeat in a final and it's really not good – very bitter,” Paul told reporters at a press conference ahead of the showpiece at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. “We will not approach this final like the Euros.
