Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says playmaker Paul Pogba is in a class of his own in world football when it comes to attacking midfielders.
Club record signing Pogba is one of a number of Manchester United players who has been revitalised under caretaker boss Solskjaer.
Apparently disaffected under Jose Mourinho, Pogba has been a dynamic presence under the new man at the helm, who is looking forward to unleashing him against Liverpool on Sunday.
Asked how Pogba compares to other players of his type, Solskjaer said: “There are different types of midfielders but, in his mould, I don’t think there is anyone near – with his physical presence, he can score goals, his close technique.
“He can also spray passes when he is sitting in midfield – I don’t think that is his best position, but he can do that as well.”
When it was suggested to Solskjaer that in Pogba and England forward Marcus Rashford he has two players to build around, he said: “They are young enough to stay here for many years, you hope.
“But you have (Nemanja) Matic and (Ander) Herrera that makes Paul’s job the one it is – you have to complement each other.
