Man Utd star Pogba says matching Arsenal’s Prem unbeaten away record means NOTHING if they don’t win after Saints draw

PAUL POGBA claims records mean nothing if Manchester United are not winning trophies.

The Red Devils matched Arsenal’s top-flight record of 27 away games without defeat, thanks to Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Southampton.

Paul Pogba says records are meaningless unless Man Utd are winning trophies following Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Southampton

But that meant little to French World Cup winner Pogba – who saw it as two points dropped, rather than one gained.

The midfielder, 28, said: “It’s great, but I prefer to win the league and not have the record.

“It’s good, it’s positive, but next time what we want to have is a record of winning away.

“That would be the best, not drawing when we know that we can win these games.”

Pogba set up Mason Greenwood for the equaliser at Saints – his FIFTH assist in two games.

But the Frenchman claimed their levels dropped off following that 55th-minute goal.

Pogba said: “I think we deserved more but you have to show more also on the pitch.

“After the goal we dropped a bit and lost control of the game.

“So I think that we dropped a few points. Obviously, we’re happy we didn’t lose – but at the end of the season those two points are going to be very important.”

United travel to Wolves on Sunday in the Premier League and Pogba hopes that lessons have been learned.

He added: “The next game away, those points will be very important and we don’t want to give them away.”

Pogba looks committed despite refusing to extend his contract, which is up next summer.

He said: “I’m good. We are training well, we came back very focused as always.

“Like I said, I always give my best on the pitch and give my heart to help my team-mates.”

Meanwhile, United rookie Brandon Williams revealed his joy at finally joining Norwich on loan for the season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had not wanted to farm out the left-back, 20, for the last year or so.

But he finally allowed the England Under-21s ace to gain regular game time with Daniel Farke’s promoted side.

Williams said: “It’s a massive club and I like the way they play.

“The club like to play out from the back and I think that the head coach can really improve me as a player.”
