Yeah I feel like this obsession is fairly new to soccer or maybe I wasn't paying attention to it.

Trophies/rings equalling greatness is American phenomenon. "Rings Ernie"/Skip Bayless/MJ winning six out of six has been the main talking point for 20 years now that I feel like it's seeping into soccer.
Interesting

Brian Clough before he died in 2004 use to rinse Fergie about only winning 1 European Cup/CL to his 2.

It isn't new. Souness has talked about showing his medals off for years. But as soon as he directed it too Pogba it became a meme.

Show me your medals/put them on the table been around for a long time in English football.

Teddy Sheringham only joined United in his own words due to Spurs lack of ambition.
