Paul Pogba became a "monster" thanks to the kicking he got in training from Man Utd legends Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes in his early days at the club.
 
The Frenchman graduated from the Man Utd youth academy in 2011 after winning the FA Youth Cup that year.
 
Pogba made seven appearances for the Red Devils first-team before moving to Juventus on a free transfer in 2012.
 
The World Cup winner eventually found his way back to Old Trafford with Man Utd paying £89m in 2016 as the midfielder returned to England.

"So you told me 'Paul if you let them kick you, you will start being the.. B… it starts with a B… of the team so you better wake up and change your attitude'.

Evra injected: "You were a monster…"
