'Pogba can be the world's best midfielder', says former Man Utd defender

The French star was linked with a move away in the summer but has so far remained at Old Trafford and starred in the Red Devils season opener

Former Manchester United defender Gary Pallister believes Paul Pogba has the potential to be the world's best midfielder if his talents are harnessed correctly.

"The ball that he put through for Rashford, the drive and making the goal for Daniel James; that’s the Paul Pogba that we want to see," Pallister told AmericanGambler.com.

"If you can harness that talent then you have one of the best midfield players in the world, if not the best.

"It all depends on Paul, what he sees, what he believes and what he wants to do. If he’s not happy at Manchester United, as [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer] said, he wants players that want to play for the shirt; that are desperate to play for the shirt.

"Until we get closer to the end of the transfer window for the clubs in Spain then there will always be this conjecture.

"Ole has been very positive about Paul staying and wanting to get the best out of him as he’s a fantastic player and on his day we are talking about a world-class player."
