Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes that the English football club will be paying over the odds if they sign French midfield sensation Paul Pogba from Juventus for a proposed world record transfer fee of around $130 million. “For that money, you would need a player who scores 50-plus goals a season, like Ronaldo or Messi. “With Ibrahimovic, he was playing at PSG and there were a lot of chances created and it was easy to score in that league,” Scholes added. If you ask me, at that time his agent was asking for a lot of money for a player who did not play first-team football except once or twice. Okay, he has gone on to great things and there was a massive improvement in him,” Scholes was quoted as saying by goal.com on Saturday.
