Paul Pogba has revealed he prefers a more advanced role with Manchester United, and suggested playing deeper is “costing” him.
The Frenchman produced a commanding performance at the base of midfield in Les Bleus‘ 1-0 defeat of the Netherlands in World Cup qualifying on Monday. But Pogba has generally struggled to find his best form since moving to Old Trafford for a world-record fee this summer.
Meanwhile, The Mirror.uk reports that Manchester United duo Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are the two most popular players in the Premier League when it comes to shirt sales.
Sports retailer Sports Direct have revealed Pogba is the top flight’s most prolific shirt-seller within their company, ahead of Red Devils teammate Ibrahimovic.
Arsenal shirts with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil on the back are the third and fourth most popular choices, with Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho the fifth most popular.
Two of United’s other players, David de Gea and Marcus Rashford, are the Prem’s sixth and 10th most popular stars respectively.
Sadio Mane, Dimitri Payet and Eden Hazard make up the top 10.
