Bryan Robson: 'Paul Pogba is the type of player Manchester United need'

Former Manchester United captain Bryan Robson believes that Juventus and France midfielder Paul Pogba is the type of player that the Red Devils need.

Former Manchester United captain Bryan Robson has expressed his eagerness for the Red Devils to sign Paul Pogba, describing him as "the type of player we need".

The Premier League giants have been heavily linked with their former midfielder all summer and are reportedly on the verge of completing a transfer for the Juventus man that could cost them in excess of £100m.

Robson told BBC Sport: "If you are making money and have to pay big money for the best players, why not do it?

"Sir Alex Ferguson allowed me to watch training as Pogba joined the first team squad [as a teenager]. I was very impressed with him. He was a good build, with a good temperament.

"He is the type of player we need. He is similar to Yaya Toure in the sense he is very good going forward and can score spectacular goals."

No deal has been announced for Pogba, who has been on holiday in the United States since losing the Euro 2016 final with France against Portugal last month.
