Manchester United will be paying too much if they meet Paul Pogba's reported £100 million transfer value, according to Paul Scholes.
The club's former midfielder believes that Pogba -- who left Manchester United in 2012 after a disagreement over playing time and wages -- is a superb player and would be a welcome addition to the United squad, but feels that he is not worthy of a fee that would put him on the level of the world's best players, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"He was a very talented player, I played with him quite a lot," Scholes said.
"If you ask me, at that time his agent was asking for a lot of money for a player who did not play first-team football except once or twice.
"Okay, he has gone on to great things and there was a massive improvement in him. But for that money you would need a player who scores 50-plus goals a season, like Ronaldo or Messi.
"Pogba is not there yet. I just don't think he is a player worth £100m right now."
Pogba would be United's fourth signing of the summer, joining Henrikh Mkhitaryan in a new look midfield and playing behind former Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Scholes is impressed with both signings, but is yet to be convinced that either will be a success in the Premier League.
"I haven't seen much of Mkhitaryan but he seems to be a good player," Scholes said.
"With Ibrahimovic, he was playing at PSG and there were a lot of chances created and it was easy to score in that league."
