Frank Lampard: 'Paul Pogba needs to progress further'

Former Premier League midfielder Frank Lampard says that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba needs to progress further if he is to become a top player.

Former Premier League midfielder Frank Lampard has said that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba needs to progress further if he is to become a top player.

Pogba scored six goals in 25 league starts this season, including a brace in a 3-2 comeback over Manchester City, but was without a regular starting spot in Jose Mourinho's Red Devils team.

Lampard has said that Pogba has failed to put in similar performances to his shift against City at the Etihad, adding that the midfielder makes too many mistakes.

"I don't know what Pogba is. He makes bad decisions but then does fantastic things which must wreck Jose's head," the former Chelsea man is quoted by The Mirror as saying. "Mourinho tried to embarrass him out of it and I worry Pogba did not get it.

"Pogba is naturally more talented than I was, he would run all over me and has better feet, but there's no point dribbling in your own half. All that 'flick and roll of the studs', I'm not an advocate of that. A lot of young players see it on YouTube and think it's amazing but I don't like it.

"He should be getting 15 goals a season and dominating games, because he has everything."

Pogba is expected to feature in United's team for the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday.
