Massimiliano Allegri calls for Paul Pogba improvement

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri admits that Paul Pogba's "timing is a little wrong" at the moment as the French international continues to struggle this season.

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has admitted that Paul Pogba is currently struggling to produce his best form for the Old Lady.

The 22-year-old has registered zero assists and just one goal in eight Serie A appearances this season, which has led to suggestions that he is struggling to cope with the number 10 shirt.

Juve director Pavel Nedved recently claimed that he wants to see 'more substance' from the French midfielder, who again failed to impress in Sunday's goalless draw with Inter Milan.

"Paul has some very specific characteristics, he's a box to box midfielder. At the moment his timing is a little wrong and it's a lot busier with a traffic jam in midfield," Allegri told Sky Sport Italia. "He is only 22 years old, but in order to bring quality, he needs to maintain intensity throughout the full 90 minutes."

Pogba was believed to be the subject of big-money bids from Chelsea and Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
