The pressure will be on the record signing to deliver

The talented Frenchman was signed from Italian giants Juventus for a record sum of £89 million this summer after leaving United earlier for Turin. Ever since his debut for the Red Devils, Pogba’s performance has come under severe scrutiny.

Barring the game against last season’s champions Leicester City, Pogba has struggled to justify his price tag as the World’s most expensive player. Indifferent and lacklustre performances against Stoke City and in the Europa League means that Pogba is losing time to prove his worth.

While there is no doubting his ability, a brilliant performance against arch rivals Liverpool would go a long way to boost his confidence and silence his critics. The Frenchman’s midfield tussle with Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson could decide the winner of this crunch clash.
