France captain Hugo Lloris says Manchester United fans are not seeing the best of record-signing Paul Pogba as he is still fatigued from the European Championships.

The 23-year-old was an important member of the French squad that made it all the way to the final, where they suffered defeat to Portugal.

He linked up with his new team after a short break before being plunged into Premier League action at the earliest opportunity.

Lloris, who is preparing with Pogba to face the Netherlands in a World Cup qualifier on Monday, says United fans must be patient if they want to see the former Juventus man at his best.

He said: "There are a lot of players who played in the Euros and experiencing physical difficulties at this moment.

"Their preparation was not ideal for the new season. Paul is one of them. And he has to take on a record transfer to Manchester United.

"There are lots of little things that have slowed him. But we all know he has many qualities and talent - that's why we're demanding of him. But things will go well for him with work."

High expectations have been placed on Pogba, both for club and country, but the Tottenham goalkeeper is convinced the young player will soon justify the £89.3 million United paid to re-sign him.

"I can understand the high expectations around him," he added. "There are also [some expectations] from the dressing room and also from the staff and the coach.

"But France is a team and not only one player. We have to be complementary to get the best performance.

"Paul has everything to be a great player but we always ask him to back that up. He can show it in a big game on Monday."
