Paul Pogba vs Graeme Souness is the feud that keeps on giving after the two exchanged barbs again on Tuesday.

Souness has often been an outspoken critic of the Manchester United midfielder in his punditry role with Sky Sports - most recently questioning his desire to get fit again after injury, claiming he was more interested in 'dancing at weddings' and 'shooting hoops'.

Speaking to United's podcast, Pogba revealed he initially had no idea who Souness was when the criticism was brought up.

The Liverpool legend responded in kind later on Tuesday morning, instructing the Frenchman to ‘put his medals on the table’.

The Scot would seem to have the upper hand in that argument having won three European Cups, three League Cups and five league titles in just seven seasons at Anfield.

He also won the Scottish League Cup and Scottish Premier Division after joining Rangers following his time on Merseyside, also picking up a Coppa Italia during his stint with Sampdoria.

Pogba won a not-too-shabby four Serie A titles with Juventus in addition to the Coppa Italia twice. Since joining United however his club honours have been limited to the EFL Cup and Europa League under Jose Mourinho in 2017.

Pogba does boast the biggest honour in world football, however, playing a key role in France’s 2018 World Cup success, including a goal in the final against Croatia.

The two are very different midfielders from very different generations, but who was the better player? Vote in our poll below.

Pogba has been limited to just seven appearances for United this season having struggled with injury.
