Following an unending criticism of Paul Pogba‘s to step up his game by Manchester United legend Paul Scholes, Paul Pogba‘s agent Mino Raiola has jumped to his defense client, as he trolls Scholes on social media this morning: ” wouldn’t recognize a leader if he was in front of Sir Winston Churchill’.
After the horrible loss on Sunday that Man United suffered in the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion F.C, Paul reported said that Man United lack leaders in the team.
"There's lack of leaders in the team."

That comment by Paul Scholes on Sunday did not go down well with Paul Pogba‘s agent as he openly attacked Scholes on social media. With the Italian almost certainly the one pushing the agenda for his player to leave Old Trafford he took to Twitter to take aim at Scholes:
Some people need to talk for fear of being forgotten. Paul Scholes wouldn’t recognize a leader if he was in front of Sir Winston Churchill. @paulpogba

Paul Scholes should become sports director and advise Woodward to sell Pogba. Would be sleepless nights to find Pogba a new club @paulpogba

Last week, Scholes said: “What we do know is that Paul needs to perform more often than he is doing. We all know the talent he’s got; great strength, great ability, an athlete. But he’s only doing it one if every three or four games. If you’re going to challenge for a title I just don’t think that can happen.
“Captain’s armband? I thought that the minute we signed him he should have been made captain. Give him some responsibility as a young player.”
But after the Brighton debacle, Scholes opined: “There’s a lack of leaders in the team, that’s why we thought Paul Pogba might be the ideal candidate to be that leader but he wasn’t there tonight. He had another really poor game. He’s so inconsistent.”
The summer was a strange time for Paul Pogba. He went from World Cup winner, and one of France’s best performers and most influential men on and off the pitch, to a man at odds with his club manager and looking for a move.
