Platini slates Pogba

The France international, who won the Best Young Player award at last year’s Fifa World Cup, has attracted the interests of various European heavyweight clubs following a stellar few seasons with the Old Lady, who remain on track for a treble this season with the help of his 10 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season.

Yet Platini, Pogba’s compatriot and a former Juventus player himself, feels the 22-year-old is far from being a superstar.

"Pogba a superstar? No, a superstar in football is someone who scores a lot of goals," Platini told RTL.

"I don't know whether Pogba is a player who can achieve the same things as Messi and Ronaldo. They score 50 goals a season.

"It is interesting to note that whenever he loses possession and the team gets into trouble, they all have a go at him."

Having already secured this season’s Serie A crown, Juventus will be hoping Pogba will shine in their Italian Cup Final clash against Lazio on Wednesday evening ahead of their Champions League Final encounter against Barcelona on 6 June.
