Robert Pires has told Sky Sports that Manchester United is the right club for Paul Pogba and he can learn a lot working with Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
Pogba's form and contribution for United have been questioned but the 24-year-old -- who joined United for a world-record €105 million fee from Juventus -- has received the full backing of former Arsenal and France midfielder Pires, who said adapting to the demands of the Premier League and football in England can take time.
"He had a lot of pressure because some people were talking about his price tag, but you must not forget that Paul Pogba is a young player and in France we say he needs time to adapt," Pires said.
"I think that is very important as the Premier League is very hard, difficult and tough, it is not only for the game, it is every morning in the training sessions.
"I know Paul, I am very confident for him, but I think Manchester United is a good choice for him and if you work with Jose Mourinho you can learn a lot.
"The first season is very difficult, it is like a transition for him as he used to play for Juventus in Italy and so everything is different. You cannot compare France, Italy, Spain, Germany, UK, they are not the same.
"And that is why the time adaption is very important for Paul Pogba and the other players."
