Pogba has been hailed as the “new Vieira”, following his fine form for France and Juventus and was impressive on his return for Manchester United in their 2-0 win over Southampton last Friday.
Pogba’s highest goal turn over was back in 2014 where he finished the season with 23 goals compared to Ronaldo and Messi finished that season with 63 and 46 goals respectively.
After Griezmann had tweeted his support of Pogba and United before Friday’s match, fans of the club couldn’t disguise their wishes that he would join his global teammate at Old Trafford in the near future.
New York City manager Vieira told the Daily Mirror: “I’m a massive fan of Pogba”.
“I read something interesting from Mourinho is that he will win as much as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo and that is normal”.
“He needs to find the right balance and do what he can best and not try to play as somebody else”.
“He will have no choice any way but to listen to him”.
“Manchester United have signed a very good player and a very good teammate”. “Ibrahimovic, the way I know him, will be a really good person to help him to find the way and perform the way he can”.
Pogba, who joined United from Juventus for €105 million (R1.58 billion), plus another €5 million (R77 million) in add-ons, also insisted he returned to Old Trafford to win titles. He believes that Pogba may take time to adapt, but knowing the club already will help him to accelerate this process.
