Seven months into his United career, Pogba has underperformed, is overpriced and, like his agent, overpaid even if there is an argument none of these is the player's fault. In 28 Premier League appearances he has scored four goals, contributed three assists and has been shown seven yellow cards. When you cost a world-record fee you are not expected to have the same amount of cautions as goals and assists.
