Dimitar Berbatov has offered some unique advice to Paul Pogba to get the most out of the midfielder when he plays for Manchester United.
The French international was highly impressive at Euro 2020 , putting in a series of wonderful displays that showed off his skill and passing ability, although he still had his critics .
It once again got people wondering why the 28-year-old performs so incredibly well for his national team, but doesn't put in the same level of performance on a consistent basis for United .
This has not gone unnoticed by Berbatov, who faced similar accusations of not performing consistently well enough during his four-year stint at the club.
"Paul Pogba looked outstanding for France at Euro 2020, even though his team were knocked out in the second round," the Bulgarian told Betfair .
"He needs to be the same player for United. He looks like he has more freedom for France, and possibly more motivation, although he does suffer from the same lapses in concentration.
"If Pogba can improve the defensive side of his game, and not lose the ball, he could be the complete midfielder. We all know his quality is there. The goal he scored against Switzerland was unbelievable."
Berbatov suggests that he take a leaf out of his book to get 'France Pogba' playing for United - and that's wearing his French jersey underneath his club top.
"Some players do find it easier to get motivated for their national side. I remember I was going through a dry spell for Bayer Leverkusen. At the same time, I was still scoring for Bulgaria. So I thought: "F**k it, I'll wear my Bulgaria shirt under my Leverkusen shirt."
"It didn't actually help me, but the point is I was willing to try anything to start scoring for my club again."
