Manchester United
legend Ryan Giggs says Paul Pogba has to be more prolific in front
of goal this year and says that could help Manchester United launch a Premier
League title challenge. Pogba scored five times in the league last season, and
nine in all competitions with the France international often deployed deeper
than his preferred position.
Giggs who won 13 Premier League
titles and two Champions Leagues with the club expect the arrival of midfield
anchor Nemanja Matic from Chelsea to allow Pogba a more advanced
role and say he should be a regular on the scoresheet in the coming campaign.
He said “I expect Pogba will improve a lot this season. He's been back a year
now and the introduction of Matic is a good buy because it frees him up, that's
what you want to see from Pogba, getting on the end of crosses and scoring
goals. I think he's capable of dropping deep or playing in an old-fashioned
midfield two but he can get further forward and I expect him to be more
effective this year. He managed nine last year and hit the crossbar and post
plenty of times as well, so he can bring the goals that might turn draws into
wins and have a real effect on the team. I think both the Manchester sides are
the teams to beat this year. It would be silly to dismiss Chelsea after the way
they played so dominantly last year but looking at the teams, I think City and
United will be up there and the teams to watch.”
