GRAEME SOUNESS has slammed Manchester United's £100million pursuit of Paul Pogba by claiming he is not worth that figure.

The move comes four years after United let Pogba leave for a measly £800,000.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, he said: "For £100m, you expect the finished article, a game-change.
"Paul Pogba's not that. He has the potential to be a top midfield player, but that still wouldn't put him in that price bracket.

"They've not said, 'we're back and having a go' with their signings although that could change."
