Paul Pogba’s long awaited return from injury happened against spurs after lockdown, he came off of the bench for a 30 minute cameo and was easily the best player on the pitch and he won the penalty for the equaliser.

Pogba has had various world class performances over 4/5 years, it’s fair to admit he can be slightly inconsistent but to say he’s never had many world class performances is foolish and agenda driven.
There were many other great performances that were left out because they weren’t as world class and quality as these.
Many of these performances came when playing in his preferred position and system, I back him to be able to put in more world class performances when he is put in conditions where he isn’t set up for failure.
