Man Utd legend Nemanja Vidic expected more from ONE player against Liverpool
MANCHESTER UNITED legend Nemanja Vidic expected more from one Red Devils star in Sunday’s derby clash with Liverpool.
Man United: Pogba 'doesn't work hard enough' says former player
Manchester United held title-chasing Liverpool to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford.
The visitors dominated possession but were unable to turn that into goalscoring opportunities.
United were ravaged by injuries, losing Nemanja Vidic before kick off and then being forced into three substitutions before half time.
Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League table with the point but Vidic claims manager Jurgen Klopp made it clear he wanted all three.
We expect maybe Pogba to create a bit more today but he was working hard for the team and that’s a positive
The former centre-back was full of praise for Manchester United’s defensive performance.
However, Vidic admits midfielder Paul Pogba was not as creative in front of goal as he hoped he would be.
“I think he tried to win the game today, Jurgen Klopp,” Vidic said on Sky Sports.
“You see him next to the touchline that he’s actually urging the players to go forward.
“The changes as well that he made showed that he wanted to win the match.
“But I think today the Man United defenders and especially in the second half I think defended really well.
“Especially [Romelu] Lukaku and [Alexis] Sanchez as well, this is [something we’re] not used to seeing before.

“So I think today Man United played well in terms of as a team.
“I think as well they didn’t create many chances, maybe we can agree with that.
“We expect maybe Pogba to create a bit more today but he was working hard for the team and that’s a positive.”
