Graeme Souness has told Paul Pogba to 'put his medals on the table' after the Manchester United star claimed he 'didn't know' who the Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit was.
Manchester United midfielder Pogba has come under severe criticism from the Liverpool legend in recent years.
Souness’ judgment of the World Cup winner has become something of a running joke on social media, with fans waiting to hear what the Scot has to say about Pogba after each game.
Pogba has finally hit back when asked to comment on the claims made about him, admitted he didn’t know who the three-time Champions League winner was.
“I didn’t even know who he was, really,” Pogba told the United podcast. “I didn’t even know who he was. I heard he was a great player and stuff like that. I know the face but [not] the name.
“Like I said I’m not someone that watches a lot of [punditry], I watch a lot of football but I don’t stay after the game to listen to what they say about ‘Why they did this’ or ‘Why they did that’. I like to focus on football.”
Souness has issued a withering response.
"I'm happy with it. The oldest thing in football comes to mind - put your medals on the table," he said on Sky Sports' The Football Show on Tuesday morning.
