Paul Pogba Is “Not Humble”, Not Needed At Real Madrid

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and Juventus in recent months.

But former Los Blancos star Uli Stielike isn't convinced Pogba would “sacrifice” himself for Real Madrid saying Real Madrid don't need the Frenchman but need “humble” players.

When asked if Real Madrid should sign Pogba, Stielike told AS: “If you want to return to the idea of the Galacticos, maybe yes, but I am more in favour of humble players with great talent and sacrifice for the team.”

Despite claims the World Cup winner is no longer needed at Old Trafford, due to the emergence of Bruno Fernandes, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has back the World Cup winner to succeed.

The Norwegian strongly believes Pogba can form a partnership with the Portuguese to United's benefit.

Solskjaer told Sky Sports: “Good players can always play together, so definitely, they can – it's a big yes.

“I think it's exciting… we do have an exciting squad.

“Of course Bruno coming in, making the impact he made, it was a boost for everyone, the club, supporters and players. Getting Paul and Marcus Rashford back would be fantastic.’’
