Carlton Palmer defends Paul Pogba as Manchester United exit looms
Footballer-turned-pundit Carlton Palmer has come out to defend Paul Pogba amid claims from other pundits that he did not deliver his best at Old Trafford.
“You bought Pogba for £90m, you know how he plays. He’s icing on the cake!”
“The #MUFC side wasn’t equipped for Paul Pogba to get the best out of him.”🎂 “You bought Pogba for £90m, you know how he plays. He’s icing on the cake!”

The former footballer believes the Frenchman is 'icing on the cake' and the main reason he could not flourish at Manchester United was his teammates. He said:
"I can understand the argument about his inconsistency. Has he fulfilled his talents at Manchester United coming back the second time? No, he hasn't. What I will say is that you've bought a player for £90 million. You know how that player plays."
Continuing his defense, Palmer added:
"Paul Pogba is not a player that is not going to sort of galvanize the side. What Paul Pogba is is your icing on your cake. So you've got to get the side properly organized in terms of defensively midfield structure wise, for him to allow him to have the freedom that he does have with the national team. Why does it when he goes and plays for the national team that he performs consistently?"
Pogba joined Juventus in 2012 on a free transfer, before Manchester United re-signed him for a then-record £89 million fee in 2016. The midfielder has run down his contract and is now set to leave as a free agent again.
