For France he gets to stroll around a lot, as he was heavily criticised for doing for the filthy, has the worlds best DM and dynamo Kante alonside him and another so he can stroll about picking up space and getting that amount of time to pick his passes
International football isn't top level football, top club football is of a much higher level, Pogba doesn't get the time and space to produce that in the Premier League, Champions League or even the Europa league, were Ole to sign a top class DM and go to a 433, that might change, but playing in the set up he does in more competitive quicker competitions, Pogba can't produce that
