Paul Pogba: "My role as a midfielder is not to score"

Paul Pogba has defended his performances for Manchester United, claiming he should not be judged purely on goals and assists.

Speaking to SFR Sport , he said: “With everything that happened, the transfer, changing club, returning to Manchester, people want me to score, make a difference in games, because they say that at that price, a player must score, provide assists.
“My role as a midfielder is not to score. I can make a difference in games, but I have a lot of work. Defensive work, dictate play. It’s also a question of my abilities.
"I can also make the difference in winning back possession, in the team’s play... I have to work for the team rather than think about myself.”
