Zlatan Ibrahimovic has no doubt Paul Pogba has all the talent to reach the pinnacle of world football, but he has urged the Frenchman to handle the pressure associated with such a position.
Just over five months after his return to Manchester United, Pogba appears to be growing into his role as the centre of attention at Old Trafford, with flashes of the skill which made the Red Devils play a world record fee to re-sign their former youth player.
His performances have gradually improved after a poor start from the 23-year-old, but he was back to his early season form on Sunday, when Ibrahimovic’s late header rescued United a 1-1 draw against rivals Liverpool.
