Jesse Lingard has defended Paul Pogba's time with Manchester United.
FC Seoul attacker Lingard discussed the Juventus midfielder in his column for The Times.
Lingard wrote: "A couple of years ago when I opened up about my mum's depression and my own mental health, many reached out, especially footballers.
"Yes, we have the dream career, but we're just human beings too and it might surprise you how many are going through certain situations.
"I messaged Jadon Sancho with some support and we spoke regularly when he was going through tough times at United. Another of my boys is Paul Pogba. We connected from day one when he arrived in United's academy aged 16 and I love the kid.
"So many people want to judge him, but I always think; 'Jeez, you just don't know him as a person'. If you actually sat down and spoke to Paul then you'd find he's one of the humblest individuals you'll ever meet and football - he loves it to death. He has so much dedication, his own personal trainers, physios, chefs."

So it just took advantage of his contract till the end and then left with out giving Man U to get some money they invested on him and since he came back to Man U he did nothing and don’t tell me that was mental problems because at juventus he was playing really good. But as soon as he sign for Man U he became worthless
is man u as a team not worthless

If he got mental problems at Man U was only because of his conscience because he was sucking all of that money and didn’t want to work

Pogba is a great Talent ruined by Manchester United mismanagement. they never lectured and disciplined those players who misbehaved during training and match day. common sense says , parents should teach their children on how they should go. Manchester United club as a whole is a foolish Parent.
