Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has said he expects more from Paul Pogba, despite his Man-of-the-Match performance against Leicester City on Saturday.
The world’s most expensive player, scored first goal for United as they crushed the Premier League champions 4-1 at Old Trafford .
Pogba played in a deeper role alongside Ander Herrera and produced the sort of display that made United splash out £89m on him in the summer.
But Mourinho says he believes the midfielder can do more.
“I don’t know [if it was his best game since returning from Juventus] I think he played okay against Southampton, he played okay against Hull City,” Mourinho said.
“When the team didn’t play well he plays not so well, when the team plays better he plays better.
“We all want more from him and from the team. The last thing that the team achieves is consistency because the process starts with playing well in spaces and the last thing you achieve is to play well consistently.
“So he has to be more consistent like the team, but I think him and Ander in midfield, they were good.
“They were a good complement and again Ander is a kid that brings intensity and I thought also on the defensive point of view it was important to have fast players on the pitch to recover a team that is very direct in the counter-attack with lots of long balls and people arriving from behind. So we changed the team to play against Leicester, the specific qualities they have.”
