'He had the equipment to be the best': Souness explains where Paul Pogba went wrong

Graeme Souness seems to have no intention of letting go of his opinions about Paul Pogba, even though the French midfielder has moved on from the Premier League.

With Man United facing challenges this season, some are reflecting on the past few years at Old Trafford. Souness is taking this opportunity to analyze where things went wrong for Pogba, a frequent target of his criticism.

Despite acknowledging Pogba's World Cup success, Souness suggests that the triumph might have hurt the player's progress at the club level.

Souness told talkSPORT: "He had the equipment to be the best midfielder in the world."

"I saw a young man that was going through emotions a lot of the time, and that frustrated me. With that physique and that technical ability, he just did not have the right attitude to make him a superstar.

"The worst thing that happened to him was winning a World Cup, because he could turn and say, 'I am a World Cup winner'. I think at that point, it was him going backwards."
