Rare footage of Paul Pogba breaking down Sir Alex Ferguson's management style will get people talking

Paul Pogba has outlined what Sir Alex Ferguson would need to be a successful manager in the modern game - which has divided supporters on social media.

There's no doubt Ferguson is one of the best managers of all time. But what did Pogba notice while working under him? Check out the footage below.

The legendary Scot managed United for 26 years, winning 13 Premier League titles and transforming the Red Devils into a global powerhouse.

In his later career, he took a step back from the coaching and left that to his assistants. Ferguson credited the ability of knowing when to freshen things up to his longevity in the game.

Pogba explained: "He wasn't doing, it wasn't the coach like you see now with Pep Guardiola that is more talking.

"No, he wasn't like that. I think he had the staff and the players so he didn't need to do that."

When pressed on Ferguson's suitability for modern football, Pogba was honest. He said: "If he has the staff and people and players (like he did), yes."

While Pogba's comments aren't anything out of the blue, fans online have debated how much coaching Ferguson did in his pomp.

One person said: "Ferguson managed United from 86-13, how many times did the game move on in that time? He managed to stay on top once he got there."

Another commented: "The game has shifted once or twice since he retired. He survived four or five shifts."

A third tweeted: "What Pogba said is all facts, people calling him salty have no clue."

While someone put: "Rooney said the same thing. People need to give Pogba credit for being honest."
