Eric Djemba-Djemba believes Paul Pogba is done a disservice at Manchester United because of his playing style.
Pogba has sometimes been criticised by pundits during his time at United for a perceived lack of effort on the pitch, but Djemba-Djemba believes it is 'crazy' to suggest he isn't trying.
The French midfielder has been heavily linked with a summer exit from Old Trafford but the club are under no pressure to sell Pogba before next month's European transfer deadline.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains hopeful Pogba can have a massive role in United's season and former Cameroon international Djemba-Djemba believes he has all the talents to be 'absolutely amazing' at the club.
However, Djemba-Djemba believes Pogba is harshly criticised at United and he compared his plight with that of Mesut Ozil at Arsenal.
“Pogba has his style and he can’t do anything about that, he has always played like that since he played back in Italy," Djemba-Djemba told American Gambler.
“But English football is different; you need to work hard, tackle and more. Italian football is more tactical, but you need to be box-to-box in England, tackle and work hard.
“If you watched [Wayne] Rooney playing as a striker, he would still come back and tackle hard.
“Pogba has his style and he is a very good player. When you put Paul Pogba in the right position and he has the confidence, he is absolutely amazing.
“It’s like Arsenal fans with Mesut Ozil. They think he is not trying but of course he is trying. It’s crazy!”
