Joining Mark Chapman to look at the career of Paul Pogba as he turns 30 it's James Horncastle and Carl Anka.

Here they discuss whether the France and Juventus midfielder is overrated, why he has such a bad reputation in England, and whether Eric Ten Hag is actually the Manchester United manager that Pogba has been crying out for.

And with his return to Serie A not going to plan, it begs the question 'where next'? But why is the obvious answer not necessarily the correct one.
