Paul Pogba is 'one of the best when he is in this form', says Rio Ferdinand after his match-winning display against Fulham... as Manchester United legend insists 'tonight has proven he can play with Fernandes'

Rio Ferdinand has heaped praise on Paul Pogba after his stunning winner against Fulham which sent Manchester United to the top of the Premier League on Wednesday night.

The Frenchman, who is in the midst of an excellent run of form in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, scored the decisive goal with a terrific curling effort with his left-foot in the 65th minute.

It was enough to send United top again, above Man City and Leicester, and ex-United defender Ferdinand believes Pogba is 'one of the best' when playing at his current level.
