Former France international Patrick Vieira has praised Juventus starlet Paul Pogba and believes the midfielder is better than he was at 20.
The powerful midfielder joined Juve from Manchester United in 2012 and has since impressed with several fine performances.
“He is a better player now than I was at the same age. Only time will tell how things pan out for him, but I think that he has a great career ahead of him,” Vieira told RMC.
“I believe he can be the next great midfielder for France. He is always calm and very technical. He has a better shot than I had and will score a lot more goals.
“He’s already making an impact at Juventus at this young age. When I was that old, I played five games in an entire season at AC Milan.”
Pogba has made 24 Serie A appearances so far this term, scoring five goals in the process.
