Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has revealed that he relishes big occasions as he prepares for his side's eagerly-anticipated game away to Chelsea on Saturday.
Pogba will have a pivotal part to play as United seek to build upon their dramatic victory over Newcastle by taking three more points.
The midfielder was effusive in his praise of Chelsea's Eden Hazard, describing the winger, who has scored seven goals in eight top flight games this season, as 'probably the best player in the Premier League right now'.
Pogba told Sky Sports: 'For me (the big games) are the best games to play. You play against the best players, play against a big club, we always have a big rivalry with Chelsea.
'You play football to play those big games with a lot of pressure. That's what you want to play.'
Pogba singled out Hazard for praise, with the Belgian having been outstanding so far this campaign.
He said: 'We can see that this season they're having a lot of possession, they're winning.
'One character you cannot miss is Eden Hazard. He's on fire. He's probably the best player in the Premier League right now.
'Everything is going well for them, they have good results.'
United's aforementioned victory against Newcastle brought a morale-sapping run of four games without a win to an end.
There remains much uncertainty over the future of manager Jose Mourinho, whose relationship with Pogba has been called into question.
Pogba stressed the importance that the game against Chelsea has for United as they look to start building up momentum.
He said: 'For us, the Newcastle game we came back, 3-2 we won at home. We need points, it's going to be a tough one.
'They need points, we need points, the game's going to be very hard.
'We're playing away. It's a Chelsea-Manchester United game you know, so it's a big one.'
There is another significant occasion for Pogba to look forward to next week as United take on his former club Juventus in the Champions League, but for now the 25-year-old is fully focused on the game against Chelsea.
United go into the game against Chelsea languishing in eighth place in the table, seven points adrift of their opponents, who are second.
