Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure is happy to see Paul Pogba winning over his Manchester United critics.

Doucoure believes Pogba has finally earned the appreciation he was not afforded during a tough spell for the fallen giants before the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

“He's the same age as me," said the Watford star to the Mirror.

“He deserves respect. But lot of people talk about him away from the pitch. The way he dresses, his haircut.

“But on the pitch he is one of the best midfielders this year. Everyone can see it now."
