Manchester United star Paul Pogba hungry for more trophies after World Cup glory

PAUL POGBA says winning the World Cup has not decreased his desire to win trophies with Manchester United.

The midfielder inspired France to a winning campaign in Russia where they defeating Croatia 4-2 in the final.

Leicester were put to the sword last night in United’s Premier League opener with Pogba playing an influential role.

Boss Jose Mourinho selected the £89m signing despite his lack of pre-season following an extended post-World Cup rest.

But the 25-year-old showed no signs of rustiness, scoring from the penalty spot after three minutes in a fine display.

After winning the Europa League, League Cup and Community Shield in Mourinho’s first season, United went trophyless last time around.

Pogba spoke after the 2-1 win over the Foxes, which saw Luke Shaw grab his first senior goal, pointing out that wants more silverware with his club.

“That [the World Cup] is in the past, 

it is part of history”         

"I won't be full from a World Cup," Pogba told Sky Sports following the game.

"I know it's a great cup, it will stay in my mind, but I want to win all the trophies.

“I haven't won the Premier League, I haven't won the Champions League, I haven't won the Euros so there are more to win.

"That [the World Cup] is in the past, it is part of history. I am someone who likes challenges and wants to progress and you have to leave it behind now.

"You have to keep it in mind, but you have to keep working to get better and better because I am still quite young.

“I want to progress and get better again and I want to win more trophies.

"We should start the Premier League with a win and we did today.

“We knew it was going to be difficult because some of us, including myself, didn't have any pre-season games.”
