Now this is something which even die hard Pogba fans will accept. For all of the Frenchman’s talents, he has rarely made use of his elbows. This is in sharp contrast to Fellaini.

In fact, the Belgian has made a career out of his elbows. He is frequently seen using his assets, to good effect, on opposition players. Any footballer, within range, would bear testimony to Fellaini’s prowess in this regard.

He does not discriminate. Any Premier League defender who has tried to stop Fellaini will have been introduced to his elbows. He was the same at Everton and has continued his exploits at ‘Old Trafford’.

Looks like Pogba has quite some catching up to do.
