  • Italy legend Fabio Cannavaro has criticised Paul Pogba for spending too much on his image rather than his output on the field
  • Cannavaro has also claimed that Pogba was basically unrecognisable at Manchester United and will need to reinvent himself
  • The French defender is back in Turin after ending his six-year stay in Manchester

Former Juventus and Real Madrid defender Fabio Cannavaro has launched a no-holds-barred tirade on Paul Pogba.

Cannavaro has quipped that Pogba, who recently rejoined Juventus, cares too much about his looks and image.

Pogba, who returned to Juventus after the expiry of his Manchester United contract, is known for his grand hairstyles that he usually changes often. Daily Mail reports that Cannavaro is worried that he gives too much time on his looks than what is required of him on the field.

Cannavaro thinks the midfielder is ready to turn a new leaf in his second stint in Italy. Pogba had a rather unconvincing spell at Manchester United.

As a football player Paul Pogba thrilled me a lot. But in recent years living at Manchester United, he was unrecognisable.

Cannavaro remains the only defender to date to have ever won the Ballon d'Or after helping Italy to the 2006 World Cup.

Sports Brief had earlier reported that footage of injured Juventus midfielder Paul Labile Pogba getting a new haircut has surfaced on the internet. The 29-year-old Frenchman made a sensational return to Juventus on a free transfer after his six-year stint with Manchester United came to an end this summer.

But his second coming has been marred by a major injury setback, which has ruled him out of competitive football for the next few weeks. He was billed for surgery which would have extended his return date, inevitably ruling him out of the FIFA World Cup.

Hence, the 2018 World Cup winner opted for a therapy which will see Pogba return in time for the Mundial. According to a report filed by Tuttomercatoweb, Pogba has made significant progress recently and is expected to be back in action in 35 days.
