Jose Mourinho still there is still plenty of work to do for Manchester United midfielder despite the world record signing’s strong performance against Leicester City.
Pogba was visibly better following a trio of losses domestically and abroad, as United put the champions to the sword in the 4-1 result, with the 23-year-old netting his first goal for the club.
But Mourinho insists the Frenchman, along with his team still need to find a greater level of a consistency.
“I don’t know [if it was Pogba’s best game] I think he played okay against Southampton, he played okay against Hull City,” said Mourinho, who opened his Manchester United account with his side’s fourth goal.
“When the team didn’t play well he plays not so well, when the team plays better he plays better.
“We all want more from him and from the team. The last thing that the team achieves is consistency because the process starts with playing well in spaces and the last thing you achieve is to play well consistently.
“So he has to be more consistent like the team, but I think him and Ander [Herrera] in midfield, they were good.
“They were a good complement and again Ander is a kid that brings intensity and I thought also on the defensive point of view it was important to have fast players on the pitch to recover a team that is very direct in the counter-attack with lots of long balls and people arriving from behind.
United’s next opponent is FC Zorya Luhansk of Ukraine on Thursday night in the UEFA Europa League.
