Paul Pogba pulls off OUTRAGEOUS skill in training
That is the verdict of ESPN FC pundit and ex-Major League Soccer star Alejandro Moreno.
Pogba has often been criticised for his performances ever since re-joining Manchester United for a then world-record fee of £89million.
The midfielder has been left out of the starting XI by Jose Mourinho of late after a run of poor form.
But he turned it on for France against Russia last night, scoring one and assisting another to help Les Bleus to a 3-1 international friendly win.

Moreno believes there is a vast difference to Pogba’s persona from when he plays for France compared to United.
He says it looks like he enjoys international football much more than club football at the moment.
“It’s the storyline that we sort of come to when it’s Paul Pogba,” Moreno said.
“Is it Paul Pogba? Or is it the because he’s playing for Mourinho ‘Paul Pogba’?

“He’s impacting the game because he is naturally a very gifted athlete.
