The Liverpool boss is shocked about something regarding Paul Pogba.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has intimated via The Manchester Evening News that he is surprised at how Paul Pogba is already an established member of Manchester United’s team.
The France midfielder re-joined the Red Devils for a world-record £89 million fee last month.
Already, the 23-year-old has started and lasted 90 minutes in two of United’s three Premier League games this season.
His speedy return to prominence at club level comes after he started six matches in Euro 2016 to help his nation reach the final of the competition.
In between that and his move to Old Trafford, Pogba spent time on holidays, and the Liverpool manager has suggested that he is surprised at how rapidly he has got back in the swing of things at club level.
“We all saw Paul Pogba. He was here, he was there, selfie, selfie, 9,000 of them, all summer,” he said The Manchester Evening News.
“And then he comes to Manchester United has, what, two training sessions, and plays 90 minutes against Southampton. You think, how?”
Pogba also managed 90 minutes on Thursday as France beat Italy 3-1 in an international friendly.
But his biggest test comes on Saturday as Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City square off in the biggest game of the Premier League season thus far.
