Manchester United should build the team around Paul Pogba, not make him a scape goat, according to Mark Bosnich.
He revealed that the way the French midfielder gets criticized is not fair at all and he is sure that he has the potential to reach greater heights.
Pogba has been blasted severally for being inconsistent amidst constant rumours that he plans to exit the club.
Mark said, “I think a lot of that has been thrown at him and a lot of that has been unfair.
“People have their own style and the way they go about things and people need to realise he is a world-class player.
“It’s synonymous of the team right now how things are actually going. Because they’re not going the best and Manchester United aren’t really where they should be. People have got to keep that in the back of their mind.
“As I always say, the best players in the team always get the plaudits when things are going well, and when they’re not, they get the biggest criticism as well.”
“I don’t think we’ve seen the best of [Pogba] yet.
“For a long time you would have to say under Mourinho he wasn’t used in a role that you could say suited him. And I understand he’s very, very divisive but for me both him and Lukaku, again coming back to the attitude thing, and when I say attitude – just be up front.
“The club needs to go and say ‘Do you want to be here, seriously do you want to be here, yes or no?’. If both of those players want to be there then those two, along with De Gea, should be the people they’re looking to build a team around.
“I know he’s had his detractors and you know sometimes it comes across a little bit of a different way because he does sometimes have a blasé attitude towards things and I think a lot of people, especially people from Manchester, sometimes see that a little bit of a different way. But he is a top, top player.
“When I say top player, he is a world-class player.
“And I think if he wants to stay it should be made painfully clear to him that we’re going to build a team around yourself around Lukaku and around David de Gea. And basically I say to you if I got rid of Paul Pogba, how much money am I going to get for him and who am I going to replace him with, because that won’t be easy.”
