Discarded by Manchester United as a prodigiously talented teenager in 2012, returning as the most expensive player of all time and one of the highest rated players in the world in 2016, the stage seemed set for Paul Pogba to complete one of the most dramatic stories in football history.

However, it has not panned out like that, as the 25-year-old has faced justified criticisms over his flamboyant life off the field and inconsistent displays on it.

On his day, Pogba is an extremely talented player, capable of deciding the outcome of a match on his own and he has shown glimpses of this but could follow that up with a totally shambolic performance the next week and rather appallingly to United fans, there have been more displays of the latter than the former.

Pogba had a long-standing and very public feud with Jose Mourinho, with the Portuguese stripping him off his captaincy and also calling him a host of bad names in public, leading to Pogba being dropped from the starting lineup towards the end of Jose's reign.
