"Pogba isn't going to be a Roy Keane or a Wayne Rooney"

Ex-Manchester United and France international believes that Paul Pogba will aim to gain a respective place at Old Trafford in the future.

According to Louis Saha, Paul Pogba is never going to clone Roy Keane or Wayne Rooney’s role at Manchester United. But he wants the Frenchman to stay put at Old Trafford and regain his vital position on the field.

The 28-year-old has been constantly put under the radar for his struggle for consistency in the Premier League. Pogba has also been on the news because of exit rumours from his agent Mino Raiola.

With his contract ending by 2022, the World Cup winner has been linked to a possible extension for the Red Devils. And Saha hopes that his fellow countryman will hold ground at Old Trafford alongside Bruno Fernandes for the betterment of all.

Former France and Man United frontman Saha spoke with GentingBet. He said: “I’m a big fan of Paul.”

“To be honest some games, like last season, he was alone. He was without Bruno, without the players around him playing with full confidence. Now all those forward players have ambition and energy, now Paul has no excuse.”

“He’s really a top player that we can ask a lot of because he’s able to do so much and provide so much for his team. Now it will be very important that his fitness will be totally right because he has been hit by Covid and a few injuries.”

“I can’t wait to see him start the season with a proper pre-season. A proper set-up of tactics with the manager to give him the platform to go and destroy the season. This is the potential.”

“Of course, I don’t like when it comes to speculation and his agent comes and talks instead of him. In so many ways it brings the attention back to Paul when he doesn’t need that. He needs to let his football talk. This is where, as a fan, you get frustrated because he sends the wrong image.”

“That’s not him, I’m sure. I know him well and the guy is strong, he will hold his ground. He will show that he is passionate but he’s not going to show weaknesses or be influenced by anyone. That’s the kind of situation we have with him. But he’s super motivated on his own.”

“Paul isn’t going to be a Roy Keane or a Wayne Rooney. That’s not the same style or personality and we can’t ask him to be someone else. He’s going to be Paul Pogba.”
