Former United striker Garth Crooks- Paul Pogba is ‘irritating beyond belief’
The former Manchester United striker and pundit told BBC Sport that the French star was ‘dismal’ in the first-half versus West Ham, before a stunning second period.
Picking Pogba in his team of the week, Crooks wrote: “I felt somewhat compelled to put Paul Pogba in my Team Of The Week (TOTW) on the basis that if I had left him out readers would have said that I have a problem with him.
“Well, that’s because I do. The France international is irritating beyond belief. For an hour his performance was awful and then, out of nothing, he produces the most wonderful finish.
“I would have brought him and Greenwood off at half-time – which rather explains why I’m not the manager of Manchester United.
“After a dismal first-half, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer showed calmness and courage when it seemed all around him were in a mild state of panic.”
