Agree the modern footballer isn't as smart as they think they are but I'd be shocked if he didn't know SAF was very keen for Pogba to stay.
Based on his loan spell at QPR he hasn't got much to say about that as he was a total disaster so in guess the interviewer, having realised that, turned his attention to some of the other players. In addition to that, how many young footballers have the wisdom or intellect to not be sucked in by the media? You guys have had a few under Sir Alex's reign, Scholes, Giggs and the like but they are clearly in the minority.
