And he thinks Pogba, 24, is in line for football’s biggest individual accolade to confirm his talents.
In an upcoming MUTV documentary, he said: “I would say he is probably the best midfield player in the world.
“Paul is very mentally strong and he is very sure of himself.
“He is a big guy, he is very technical on the ball and he has lots of endurance.
“He is still young, too, so he has a lot to work on and he can get even better.
“If he continues to play and improve like he is doing then I think he is also going to win the Ballon d’Or award in the next five years.”
