Paul Pogba became the World's most expensive footballer when he moved to Manchester United this summer for £89m.
The midfielder had a poor outing in Euro 2016, and he is yet to hit the heights that made him the most wanted player in the summer. He's only scored one goal for United in all competitions this season.
However, Arsenal defender, Laurent Koscienly has come up in defence of his compatriot. He said that there is too much expectation on the 23years old which may have affected his game.
"Because of his transfer, and his status, we demand a lot from Paul Pogba, Koscienly said. "We've got to leave him in peace so he can progress.
Echoing Koscienly's sentiments, French Coach Didier Deschamps said, "With Paul, we always expect more. "When he does something neutral, often it is not enough.
"He's someone we expect to make assists in every game. "There's an expectation that is too large.
"Paul is OK in his head. He knows what he wants.
Pogba will be hoping to be in the starting line up as France host Bulgaria in a World Cup qualifier on Friday.
