Gerrard explains why ‘phenomenal’ Pogba will only get better

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard reckons Paul Pogba is finally showing why Manchester United splashed a world record transfer fee to sign him – and has given his thoughts on why the France star is only going to get better.

United spent £89.3million to lure Pogba back to Old Trafford from Juventus over the summer, but after an inconsistent start at Old Trafford, many questioned whether the club had wasted their money.

However, the player has recently been given more freedom by Jose Mourinho in the Manchester United side and is now starting to show why the club spent such big money to sign the France star.

And his recent displays in the United midfield have caught the eye of Gerrard, who believes the club player will keep getting better.

Speaking to BT Sport, Gerrard said: “I think he’s got better and stronger week by week. He’s obviously a phenomenal talent.

“I think coming with that big price tag early on has weighed him down a bit and Manchester United weren’t in the rhythm but I think now they’ve found his best position.

“I think [Michael] Carrick complements him so well and now we’re seeing the Paul Pogba that we all expected to see and he’s only going to get better and better.

“He’s young, he’s leggy, he’s got all the tools in the bag and there’s no doubt about it he’s one of the best midfielders now and he’s going to get better which is a scary thought being a Liverpool fan!”
