The former French and Manchester United defender Mikaël Silvestre was talking exclusively to Ladbrokes at the launch of their European Championships 5-a-side Bet and questions is Paul Pogba’s impact at the top level of the game:

“The problem with Paul Pogba is the consistency – or lack of. When he’s at the top of this game, his level is something else, but he finds it difficult to repeat that game after game.
“I look at it this way; he’s a world-class player, he’s got world-class attributes for sure. The question is, can he repeat it every three days? I’m not sure he can. He hasn’t done it for Man United, I’m not sure he can do it for France either.
“I’m always happy to see him on the pitch for club or country, because he’s been unlucky with injuries. The frustrating part is that we haven’t seen him reach his levels week-in, week-out. I don’t know whether it’s a psychological thing or a physical thing.
“I’m a Man United supporter and a France supporter, so I’m always hoping that whoever he represents, we see the best of him, because we saw against Germany just how much he can give to the team.”
