The former Arsenal striker has backed his compatriot to come good at Manchester United despite a slow start to his second spell at Old Trafford.Thierry Henry has leapt to the defence of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba after the France international's slow start to life back at Old Trafford.
Pogba rejoined United for a world-record transfer fee of £89m in the summer, but has come in for some criticism following a handful of underwhelming performances.
Henry has backed his compatriot to come good, however, stressing that the 23-year-old needs time to adapt to the Premier League.
Speaking at a Puma event in Kolkata, the former Arsenal striker said: "I think that [Jose] Mourinho is still looking for his best XI, his best system."To talk about Paul Pogba, we are talking about a quality player. When I arrived in thePremier League, I didn't play well in the beginning. A lot of players don't play well in the beginning. It's a process, [but] nowadays the press and fans don't give a lot of time for people to adapt."Pogba needs to adapt. We all know the qualities he possesses. I think he can deliver. That's my personal opinion.
