Graeme Souness' weird obsession with Paul Pogba continued following his column in The Times, lambasting the midfielder and some. And ahead of Newcastle United vs. Manchester United, Thierry Henry also weighed in, nailing his assessment.

While the French midfielder was dragged off against Spurs then placed on the bench for the game against Huddersfield, there's no denying he's been one of United's better players this season.

But the ex-Liverpool hero still feels Pogba is a 'country mile from being a great player.'

"Paul Pogba is capable of great things, but a country mile from being a great player," he wrote.

Souness added: "(Pogba) still doesn't understand what is required to play that position properly.

"Pogba simply cannot be one of two in central midfield. You cannot rely on him. Against the lesser teams you'll get away with it, but against the better teams you're not going to. He plays like a schoolboy running after the ball in the playground.

But, fellow Frenchman Henry, who was joined in the Sky studio by Souness, gave a brilliant assessment of Pogba's situation.

While claiming he needs to adapt and be efficient.

Before giving Souness an unbelievable look.

Though, just like at Wembley Stadium, Pogba didn't see out the full 90-minutes at Newcastle.

But it looks clear he's struggling with an injury.

What's your take on Pogba? Let us know.
