£89M MAN
ACCUSED OF TRYING TOO HARD
BY PARKER
The former Red Devils defender also believes that the
French midfielder spends too much time on social media
for someone yet to deliver consistently
Paul Pogba is yet to justify his £89 million price tag and
“sums up Manchester United’s problems”, according to
Paul Parker.
The Frenchman completed a record-breaking transfer to Old
Trafford in the summer of 2016, with Jose Mourinho
bringing him back to England after four years at Juventus.
He was supposed to help carry the Red Devils back to the
top of the English and European game, but is yet to truly
deliver on his potential despite tasting Community Shield,
EFL Cup and Europa League successes.
Parker believes Pogba needs to get his priorities straight,
with too much time spent on social media, and focus on
ensuring that he is used correctly by United and allowed to
flourish as expected.
He wrote in a column for Eurosport : "Pogba sums up
United’s problems.
“He is not a holding midfielder. So much has been taken
away from his game. I think he’s tried too hard to impress
this season after that world record £89m price tag.

“He’s been having too many touches of the ball which
isn’t really in his nature. He’s also been giving away silly
fouls because people are working harder against him.
“He hasn’t had the greatest of seasons. Expectations are
high. United have got to kick on, Mourinho has to kick on
and he’s got to kick on.
“He can do what he wants with his Twitter emoji, dancing
and his hair when he is part of a United side that are the
real deal."
While United collected three trophies in the 2016-17
campaign, they could only muster a sixth-place finish in the
Premier League.
They are, however, expected to spend big once again when
the summer transfer window opens and piece together a title
challenge during Mourinho’s second season at the helm.
