Manchester United
star Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes Paul Pogba’s “jealous” critics will be
silenced by the midfielder.
World-record signing
Pogba has made a slow start to life back at Old Trafford, where United suffered
a 2-1 derby loss to Manchester City on Saturday.
But Ibrahimovic has
no doubt as to the 23-year-old’s talents, insisting the France international
will prove people wrong.
“Paul came from a
generation that is becoming important in France,” the Swedish striker told SFR
Sport.
“The national team
did not win the Euros, unfortunately, but the generation is strong and they
will become stronger and Paul is one of them, and with what he has done, he
will become even better.
“I did not know Paul
before and now I know him personally, he is a boy who works hard, he wants to
progress and has a good attitude.
“But he is still
young and all the jealous people talking about him will swallow every word they
said about him because he will only get better.”
Pogba is yet to
score or have an assist in three Premier League games, but United sit fourth
with three wins.
Ibrahimovic, who has
already netted four times in the league, said the pressure on Pogba was
enormous.
He said: “You have
to be realistic, people are putting a lot of pressure on Paul. His transfer created
a huge amount of buzz.”
