Paul Pogba would be "an absolute doddle to play against" because of his poor work ethic, according to Graeme Souness.

The Liverpool legend is a long-time critic of the Manchester United midfielder and reckons he would easily get the better of the Frenchman.

While Souness lauded Pogba's technical and physical attributes, he blasted the 27-year-old's attitude.

Writing in his column in The Times, Souness responded to a reader's question about his supposed "disdain" for Pogba.

"Pogba has absolutely everything to be a top player — great athleticism, super technique — but his attitude to the game is the polar opposite of mine," wrote the Scot, who won the top flight five times as a Liverpool player.

"He goes out with one thought in his mind: 'I'm going to show everyone how clever I am today and be the star of the show'.

"My attitude, the way I was taught, was: 'Go out and work harder than the guy you're in against and see where that takes you'.

"He'd be an absolute doddle to play against."
