Legendary football manager Marcello Lippi says he would rather have Liverpool flop Luis Alberto in his team than Paul Pogba.
Manchester United midfielder Pogba has endured a difficult season at Old Trafford and has been out of action since the end of December following ankle surgery.
In contrast, Liverpool flop Alberto has enjoyed the best season of his career playing for Lazio in Serie A contributing five goals and 14 assists from central midfield.
Although the Spaniard is not fondly remembered for his three years Liverpool it is safe to say he has transformed his career in Italy.
Alberto has been a key player in their title challenge this season, and World Cup winning coach Marcelo Lippi has claimed he's a better asset to have than Pogba.
“I would choose Luis Alberto, he has great quality,” Lippi told TMW Radio when asked to select between the pair.
Speaking earlier in the week Alberto reflected on his time in English football and said that moving to Lazio in 2016 was the best decision of his life.
"I wasn't mature enough at Sevilla and made the step up in quality quite late in the day,” Alberto said in an Instagram interview.
“I didn't get the playing time I wanted at Liverpool, then I started well at Malaga and was enjoying my football at Deportivo when I got injured.
“I made the big step up at Lazio, a wonderful club. Joining Lazio was the best decision of my life. Nobody really knew me and that was my fault. I was training by myself at Liverpool, but changed mentality with (mental coach Juan) Campillo and took that next step.”

Unpopular opinion: Luis Alberto is underrated
let me rephrase...Pogba is the most overrated player in the premier league...never consistently performed 10 games straight...may have class but he is a player to who has one good performance in every 10 games since he rejoined united

Truth is bitter. Lippi is an experience manager. Pogba think he is Messi or Ronaldo anyway I won't be surprised if people start comparing or saying he is better than both Ronaldo and Messi. Inflated ego is killing that Corona virus call pogba
u stupid for calling another person Coronavirus

What do pogba have left to achieve that he has not achieved has a central mild fielder? Just name it for me let me know. He was once among the best 6 players in the world in 2014/15 He was the best young player in 2014 World Cup , He already featured in the fifa xi 2014/15 He won league division title , He won domestic cups, He won the European competition He won the World Cup with the France national team , Tell me what else he needed to achieve again You guys are just so stupid and useless for criticising this guy. Even Kevin debruyne didn’t have Paul pogba achievement as of this moment, But no one criticized Kevin, And you all keep believing he his better than Paul because of one best season he had. If you want to compare then check achievement

a world cup class u say, well do u think if a player wins world cup it makes him invincible or better than his colleges? Pogba has spent half of the season without playing and this is what will make him miss an opportunity to Madrid, i believe Madrid will only consider him if his Price is cheap like 65m, 65m for a flop well is a bargain

I have never liked jose mourinho... he is next to the devil amongst the people I dont like but pogba is actually third from the same devil. I cant deny he has talent but he flatters too much to deceive and he isnt worth all the hype about him, he isnt even world class... to me, even kdb, hazard, neymar, mbappe have done alot in football to be way above him, such pure talent put to worst in barbershops

test Lippi for corona. maybe he has in his head. He is talking about a world class, world cup winner.
Lippi is right, pogba is not a good player and he is never a team player instead he is a virus just like corona which man u need to get rid of in other to bring players who are ready to play for the batch not for money and his stupid agent fuelling transfer rumour. he brings negative and the team has been poor with him. look at few months of his absent and Bruno coming in.

Just the fuel Pogba needs. I trust & believe Pogba will come strong & prove all the haters wrong, after which he will leave ManUnited. The hate is just too much. Let the past be the past.
