BLUE IS THE COLOUR

Paul Pogba poses with new Manchester City coloured Adidas boots… and doesn’t look happy about it

The Ace 17+Purecontrol slip-on footwear features stylish cleats and has everything a player could want - except they're blue

PAUL POGBA poses with his new boots - and he doesn't look a happy man.

Maybe that's because they inconveniently feature the light blue of Manchester City.

 Paul Pogba has surely worn more appropriate boots than these!

Whether or not suppliers Adidas have got the colour wrong, we don't know.

One might have assumed the red of Manchester United would be appropriate.

Still, the £89million man looks like he's lumbered with his Ace 17+Purecontrol footwear.

Germans Mesut Ozil, the Arsenal playmaker, and Bayern Munich keeper Manuel Neuer also sport the nifty adidas look.

The boots feature special cleats and, as you can see, are of the slip-on variety.

Meanwhile, the arrival of Nemanja Matic from Chelsea is about to unleash Pogba's attacking instincts, according to former United striker and coach Brian McClair.

He told ESPN the Reds will get even more out of Pogba - thanks to the presence of Matic.

McClair said: “United need someone who sits there behind Pogba, who played his best football when Michael Carrick also played last season.

"Michael is coming to the end of a wonderful career, so United need someone who can do something similar but who will be more mobile in the coming years.

“I could see that someone like Matic would fit in.

“In some games, Paul Pogba has been in the wrong place and it has stifled his abilities which United bought him for.

“Pogba’s attributes are all about attacking.

“He can find a pass, beat a player and has fantastic skills. He can score goals.

“For him to have the best opportunity of success at Old Trafford, Pogba needs to be playing in the final third of the pitch as much as possible.”
