Paul Pogba scored his second goal in six days adding to his superb strike at Swansea for Manchester United with a goal for France against Sweden on Friday night.

But the world's most expensive player is learning that scoring is not impressing his managers as much as his overall performances.

Reds boss Jose Mourinho hailed the £89m midfielder's display at Swansea last Sunday saying: “Paul Pogba played so well, even without the goal.”

And those sentiments were echoed by France boss Didier Deschamps after Pogba's hit in France's 2-1 win against the Swedes in Paris.

It followed on from his winner in the 1-0 win away against Holland last month.

“He is not a goal-scorer. He can score goals and has done so but I don't especially expect him to do that,” said Deschamps.

“If he scores, all the better. I know he likes scoring but it is not what I or the team expect from him.

“All the better that he did so but I am much more happy with his overall performance which followed on from what he did in the Netherlands.

“For Manchester (United) he is used in a different position in a different system. He gave us a lot of fluidity with the ball and was good at winning possession back.”

Both club and country managers also appear to be in agreement that despite his world-record price tag, the 23-year-old still needs to be surrounded by experience.

After United's 3-1 in South Wales Mourinho said: “Yes, he was really good but the team was good.

“The team was organised in a way that with the players close to him, Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata, Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini, he was surrounded by quality and experience.”

Deschamps said after the World Cup qualifying win against Sweden: “When Paul is playing like that and has a good partnership with Blaise Matuidi (who is 29 years old) it is important for the team.”
