Souness in new swipe at 'lazy' Juventus midfielder Pogba

Former Liverpool player and manager Graeme Souness has continued an old feud.

The Scotland legend has branded Paul Pogba as lazy, laying into the France and Juventus midfielder.

Souness was often critical of Pogba during his many years at Manchester United.

“He's an extremely talented young man," Souness said, per The Mail.

“He should be one of the best midfielders in the world. But he's lazy.

“If you remember how he used to take penalties (with a stuttered run-up). That was him wanting to be the star of the show for that period of time.

“If he's lazy in matches he'll be lazy in training and how can you get after the rest of them if you don't get after him?"
