Gary Neville: 'Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba arrogance a good thing'

Gary Neville praises former side Manchester United for landing the signings of Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, which he believes will help give the club an aura.

Gary Neville has claimed that Manchester United have simply reverted to type by bringing in 'arrogant' players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba this summer.

The pair were signed by new boss Jose Mourinho to help bolster the Red Devils' midfield and attacking ranks, with free agent Ibrahimovic getting off the mark with a fine debut goal at Bournemouth.

Both players arrive with big personalities, which many suggest could disrupt squad harmony at Old Trafford, but former United player Neville sees it differently and believes that Ibrahimovic in particular could be a key signing for the club.

"In signing Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba, United have players of stature and arrogance - in a good way - and, historically, United have always needed players with big personalities," he told Sky Sports News.

"Ibrahimovic is an important signing for Manchester United. They are not getting him in his peak or in his best years, but in the last two or three years the club has deteriorated in performance and also in entertainment, which is a fundamental at United."

Pogba was suspended for United's 3-1 win over Bournemouth on Sunday, but is expected to play a part in Friday night's meeting with Southampton.
