Haaland told Bayern Munich are ‘only step for him’ but Matthaus doubts deal will be done until Lewandowski leaves

Love him or hate him, Paul Pogba is a truly gifted footballer, and one of the most high profile names in the game.

To make him sound even more ordinary, he wasn't even the best player in the academy - with the now infamous Ravel Morrison the...
