Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has defended Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, claiming that he is often criticized unfairly for his performances.
Manchester United have been registering poor performances this season losing three games so far, with Pogba getting the stick for his below-par performances.
Pogba has had a difficult start to the season with a reported burst up with Mourinho that led to him being stripped off the vice-captaincy role. The two have also been caught on camera having a spat that resulted to Pogba being sent at home from training.
Lloris revealed that Pogba gets unfair treatment for his performances, “I am sorry but I don’t watch all Manchester United games. But he has a status in the UK, maybe because of his huge transfer fee. Sometimes people judge him not very fairly. Now he has more maturity, he knows what he needs to do, he proves that with us.”
The France skipper added United are posting poor results in general not just because of Pogba, “I think his performances at United are far from being as bad a people say. He is part of a team which has worse results than we could have expected, that’s for sure, but they are still a very strong team. When it matters he is there.”
