We have already established that Jose Mourinho doesn't consider Paul Pogba as the offensive player that he wants to be, the Frenchman will be utilized in midfield behind Rooney and Zlatan. But according to Paul Scholes, Pogba has a whole lot of similarities with Cristiano Ronaldo. The former United player spoke to Four Four Two Magazine about the surprising similarities between both players, which in Scholes' eyes are more than anyone believes.
Scholes said: “There are real similarities between him and Ronaldo. They’re very different people and players, but they both have the same confidence and arrogance on the pitch.
They both train incredibly hard. Pogba and Ronaldo are great athletes - they’re both great in the gym – and they train for as long as they can on the training field. Hopefully, Pogba will reach the level Ronaldo has done.”
He added: “He played in a midfield three at Juventus, which seemed to suit him down to the ground. He had the license to get in the box and score goals. For France he seemed to play as a holding midfielder and I didn’t think he was as effective there. I’d play him alongside a more defensive-minded player – Michael Carrick, Morgan Schneiderlin or Daley Blind. You have to let him get forward and use his power and pace to get in the final third.”
Scholes also spoke about what he remember from Pogba when he still played at United: “When Pogba first trained with the first team we knew he was a talent and we knew he was going to be a top player, but I think he’s become a more complete player over the last few years. He’s a really good lad and he was a great personality in the dressing room, even at a young age. He gets on well with everyone and he’s a fantastic trainer.”
