Paul Pogba Reveals The One Part Of Training All United Players Hate

Footballers have a really tough life, earn millions from playing football a couple of times a week, spend about three hours a day at training and then head back to their mansions. But there's one part of training that Manchester United players really don't like.

At the beginning of the season Paul Pogba was showing just why Manchester United had forked out £89 million for him from Juventus last season. His injury may have proved even more why they did.

Without the Frenchman United's performances certainly dipped and they lost their first Premier League game of the season to Huddersfield followed by another loss to Chelsea.

The former Juve man is now back in the side and straight away the Red Devil's attack is working at its best again, knocking four past Newcastle and Watford in recent weeks.

He's obviously been back hard at training to get to match fitness straight away and in an interview, via the Mirror, the 24 year-old, he revealed that the players hate training tactics as they'd rather just be playing:

"My favourite part is the game at the end of the session. The worst is the same for everyone I think - the tactics. Defensive tactics because you just have to drill, you don't have the ball. I always learned playing with my friends.

"When you come from where I come from it was like two-vs-two, three-vs-three. It was physical and technical so I always loved it. I always loved the beautiful tekkers, the nice skills."

It's really no surprise that all of the players prefer to train by playing than doing training about defensive tactics. Of course manager Jose Mourinho is pretty well known for his use of defensive tactics.

United fans will be hoping to see more than just 'parking the bus' when the Red Devils face Arsenal at the Emirates this weekend and by the sounds of it so will the players.

Imagine the hardship of doing tactics training ey!
