Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand said Paul Scholes used to kick Paul Pogba, leaving him on the turf during training sessions at Carrington.
Pogba had two spells at United with his first coming towards the end of the Sir Alex Ferguson era between 2009 and 2012. During this period, both Ferdinand and Scholes were senior professionals with the Reds while the Frenchman was just finding his feet in professional football.
Speaking on BT Sport, Ferdinand insisted that Scholes' challenges on Pogba were 'character building' for the central midfielder. He explained: "You know young lads when they come over, the managers do like to see them get kicked about.
