Former Arsenal forward Ian Wright says that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba "still has a lot to prove" as a footballer.

Former Arsenal forward Ian Wright has claimed that Paul Pogba "still has a lot to prove" as speculation surrounding the future of the Manchester United midfielder continues to gather pace.

Barcelona continue to be strongly linked with a move for Pogba, and the 25-year-old recently admitted that he 'does not know what will happen in the next few months'.

United boss Jose Mourinho and Pogba have reportedly called a truce which will see the latter remain at Old Trafford until at least the end of the season.

However, the France international's future continues to be questioned due to his strained relationship with Mourinho.

Wright has branded Pogba "a great player", but insists that the 2018 World Cup winner has not yet proved that he can perform on a consistent basis in the Premier League.

"He's a great player, and he's a World Cup winner. He has come back and has proven that he is that guy. But if Paul Pogba left in January, and we looked back at his Premier League CV, would you say he has been brilliant here? He still has a lot to prove!" Wright told Sky Sports News.

"I think he's fantastic, that picture of him dabbing with the World Cup is brilliant, it's going to be iconic, but at the same time, in the Premier League he hasn't done it properly, consistently enough yet.

"Coming back with a World Cup medal has given him a false sense of security, in thinking that: 'I'm bigger than this now.' We need to see more from him and what he's capable of doing."

Pogba has scored twice in four Premier League appearances for United this season.
