'I was always watching him' - Pogba hails hero Zidane

France star Paul Pogba has spoken of his admiration for his idol Zinedine Zidane, hailing his "beautiful" style as a player.

Zidane inspired France to the 1998 World Cup title, with two goals in the final, and Pogba has revealed that he would only ever focus on the now Real Madrid head coach when watching his sides play.

The 44-year-old, who guided Madrid to success in the Champions League and the Club World Cup in 2016, has been nominated for FIFA's Best Men's Coach award, but Pogba is still in awe of Zidane's talents on the pitch.
