Brighton boss Hughton: Pogba a wonderful all-round footballer

Brighton boss Chris Hughton is wary of facing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba tomorrow.

Pogba will captain United at Brighton despite a tense week with manager Jose Mourinho.

Hughton said, “He's a very good player and we have to be guarded against that tactically. He's capable of having a very good season.

“He's shown that over the summer and in good periods at United. He's 6ft 2 and a wonderful athlete.

“He certainly breaks very well from midfield and has shown a good passing ability. If you're looking at his all-round technical ability, he's a wonderful all-round footballer."
