Pogba’s success at the World Cup this summer prompted his manager Jose Mourinho to challenge him to give his best in next season at English Premier League.

“I don’t think it’s about us getting the best out of him, it’s about him giving the best he has to give. I think the World Cup is the perfect habitat for a player like him to give best.” Mourinho said.

“Why? Because it’s closed for a month, where he can only think about football. Where he’s with his team on the training camp, completely isolated from the external world, where they focus just on football, where the dimensions of the game can only motivate.

“During a season, you can have a big match then a smaller match, then one even smaller, then you can lose your focus, you can your concentration, then comes a big match again.

“In the World Cup, the direction of the emotion, of the responsibility, of the big decisions is always growing up. You are in the group phase, you go to the last 16, tot the quarter-finals, to the semi-finals, to the finals. The feeds the motivation. This feeds the concentration of a player. So I think it was the perfect environment for him.” Mourinho added.

The Portuguese manager thinks his midfielder Pogba stepped up because he was inspired to represent his country on the biggest tournament.

“I think players in the World Cup, they really feel that extra commitment with a country, with the people, that extra responsibility that makes them, by the emotional point of view, to be sometimes even over-committed,” Mourinho said.

“So they play for the team, and only for the team, and the team is the most important thing, and they do everything to try to succeed. So I think it’s the perfect environment for a talented like him to focus, to fully focus on the job.” Former Chelsea manager added.

United have opened their pre-season schedule with a five game tour of America this month. In their final match of pre-season they will face Bayern Munich on August 5 in Germany.
