Manchester United fans have hammered Danny Mills over comments he made about Paul Pogba earlier in the week.
Former Leeds United defender Mills appeared on talkSPORT this week and was asked about the criticism Pogba has been receiving as of late.
Speaking on the matter, Mills controversially stated Pogba deserves to be criticised for his hairstyle and lifestyle choices if he doesn't perform on the pitch.
“If you put yourself out there with dyeing your hair, with sponsorship deals and this, that and the other… you are putting yourself out there to be criticised the way he goes on," Mills said.
“When you have a bad game you’re an easy target. That’s what happens.
“Of course it is. If you go out with your socks around your ankles and you look a bit scruffy and you have a poor game, the first thing any football coach will say is ‘look at him, his attitude is sloppy’.
“That might not be true, but that’s the image you give off.”
Pogba has been harshly criticised ever since he returned to United four years ago and now supporters have hammered Mills for his comments on the matter.
Show some respect
Pogba has put up elite numbers in an awful team. The criticism he gets can’t be coming from what he’s doing on the pitch so they have to find something else to moan about

Not happy
Shows how much of a dinosaur Danny Mills is. Never been a good pundit.

The scapegoat?
Let's be honest, most matches Man Utd have not won goes like this. Pogba puts in a 5-6/10 performance but manages to create at least 2-3 decent chances. Ibra, Lingard and sometimes Rashford miss those chances. The attackers don't get bashed but Pogba gets criticized.
