PAUL POGBA has aimed a dig at nemesis Graeme Souness by declaring he had no idea who he was.
The Scottish Sky Sports pundit has taken his fair share of pops at the Manchester United midfielder since his return to the club in 2016.
Souness, a long-term critic of the Frenchman, recently declared how playing against the World Cup winner would be a “doddle.”
Just weeks before that he blasted Pogba for making it obvious he didn’t want to be at the club.
He has also taken digs at his attitude and arrogance on the field while also revealing he would be no help for his team-mates in the dressing room.
Pogba was quizzed on the criticism he has received from pundits including his thoughts on the Liverpool legend’s comments.
Speaking to the United Podcast, he said of Souness: “I didn’t know who he was really, I heard he was a great player and stuff like that.”
And revealing his thoughts on pundits on general, the 27-year-old added: “It’s their job to speak. They’ve been talking. I’m really used to it, It doesn’t bother me. It’s just talk and selling stuff.
“When I watch a game I like to watch the game with no commentary. When you are a fan and when you know football you don’t need someone to tell you what is happening.”
Pogba has been out since December 26 after going under the knife to fix an ankle issue that has dogged him this season.
But despite speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid, Pogba insists he can’t wait to play with his team-mates again.
He added: “I’ve been frustrated, a long time ago. Now I’m almost there, so I’m just thinking about getting back and training fully with the team and everything.
“You think bad but I’ve never had something like this in my career, so I always take it in a good way. It makes me more hungry to come back and do well. And, yeah, it just shows me as well how much I love football.
“You have to be very patient because, well my injury, I don’t know if people really know what happened.”
