Manchester City

Fabian Delph: 'I'm not like Paul Pogba'

By , Reporter
Manchester City new boy Fabian Delph says that he is not an alternative to Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.

New Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph has dismissed comparisons between himself and Juventus ace Paul Pogba.

Delph, 25, completed an £8m move to Eastlands earlier this month from Aston Villa, and the England international says that he is not an alternative to his French counterpart.

"I think I'm a different type of player to Pogba," Delph is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.

"Whether City were linked with him or not and they're not getting him, I think that's irrelevant to me coming.

"I'm coming as a box-to-box midfield player with a lot of energy and I see myself as quite different to him."

The ex-Villan is currently injured as he prepares to fly home from the club's pre-season tour in Australia, with manager Manuel Pellegrini unsure over the severity of the problem.
