"Talking of debuts, I was at Crewe on Saturday for the U-18s game and Paul Pogba played in central midfield. I don't really want to exaggerate, so will confine myself to saying that he was sensational; built like the side of a house, eats up the ground with huge strides, nearly broke the Crewe crossbar with a free kick, can pass & shoot with either foot and knows how to tackle. Reminiscent of a young Vieira....and he's still only 16."
Andy Cooper - Manchester Evening News blog
The name might ring a bell for those who've been following Le Havre's futile attempt to link his move to Manchester with Chelsea's poaching of Gael Kakuta, which landed the London side an 18-month transfer ban.
There have been some pretty good reports about Pogba from France in the past and the above comment, from someone who watches the reserves and academy teams in action a fair bit, can only whet the appetites of United supporters ...
Can't wait to see him in action - probably for the reserves in one of the MUTV highlights packages on Setanta in the not too distant future.
