Antoine Griezmann: Paul Pogba "needs affection" to perform

Antoine Griezmann suggests that France international teammate Paul Pogba is currently struggling to perform for club and country due to a lack of affection.

Antoine Griezmann has revealed that the key ingredient required for Paul Pogba to succeed at Manchester United is a bit of love from teammates and supporters.

The 23-year-old became the world's most costly player when returning to the Red Devils in a deal worth around an initial £89m in the summer.

Pogba has so far failed to truly light up Old Trafford, bar a standout display against Leicester City recently, while his form for France has also stuttered at times in the wake of his move.

Griezmann is confident that Pogba will come good at United, though, as soon as he is able to adapt to his new surroundings following the high-profile switch from Juventus.

"Paul needs affection," he told L'Equipe. "He has a different game with [former club] Juve, Manchester and here [with France]."

Pogba has made 10 appearances for club and country so far this season, scoring just one goal in that time and failing to register a single assist.
