Dugarry wants more from Paul Pogba

Former France forward Christophe Dugarry has branded Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba "a player out of the ordinary", but has said that the 25-year-old is "capable of doing a hundred times more".

Pogba has struggled for consistency since arriving at Old Trafford in the summer of 2016, but he scored twice in United's 3-2 victory at Manchester City in the Premier League last weekend.

Dugarry has branded Pogba "an alien" due to his incredible potential, but the 46-year-old is frustrated that the former Juventus midfielder is currently struggling to produce his best form on a regular basis.

"He's an alien, a player out of the ordinary, but he annoys me, because I know he's capable of doing a hundred times more," Dugarry told RMC. "He's a genius, but when is he going to realise it? When he started becoming a marketing player, he lost that rage he had at Juventus."

Pogba has scored five times and registered 10 assists in 29 appearances for United this season.
