Pogba: ‘We started very well, but we can end up bad’

Paul Pogba is not willing to go overboard despite Manchester United’s blistering start to the season.

United top the Premier League table as one of only three clubs with a perfect record from two games.

They have beaten both West Ham and Swansea by scorelines of 4-0, and Pogba has impressed in the heart of midfield.

The Frenchman insists that the season “is not finished yet”, however. Someone should tell Neil Custis.

“I’m pleased and happy that we have started really well, but it is not finished yet,” Pogba told ESPN FC. “It is just the start of the season.

“The biggest challengers? We are our own rivals and we think about ourselves first. But we don’t have to be scared of anyone in the league because we know we are a strong team as well. We know we can do great this season.

“I hope [we can win the title]. Every team is strong, like when Leicester won it two years ago and nobody expected it, so you don’t know what’s going to happen.

“We started very well, but we can end up bad and we don’t want this. We want to be focused from game to game.”
