The former Red Devils skipper likes what he sees, so much that he reckons Pogba could do the unthinkable yet.

Gary Neville reckons Paul Pogba is back to his best and added the midfielder could be key in Manchester United’s bid for the Premier League title.

The Frenchman has been in and out of the headlines for mostly the wrong reasons ever since his then world-record €105 return to Old Trafford in 2016, having struggled to deliver his best form consistently.

His agent, Mino Raiola, then announced that Pogba’s Red Devils career is ‘over’ at the beginning of December.

But the 27-year-old reaffirmed his commitment to United days later and has since left his talking for the pitch, delivering a series of assured displays to help the club moved to within two points of Premier League leaders Liverpool in second-place.

“When they played Leipzig his agent came out and said he wanted to leave, but since then I have seen the best of Paul Pogba,” Neville told Amazon Prime Video.

“I have got to say I prefer watching Manchester United when he is playing because he gives them something that might take them on the way to the title.

“He is a world-class player.”

United will next face an in-form Aston Villa at Old Trafford on New Year’s Day at Old Trafford.
