Former AC Milan and Real Madrid striker Antonio Cassano has taken aim at Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

Cassano reckons the Frenchman is over-rated, even comparing him to Liverpool flop Mario Balotelli.

"Pogba, James [Rodriguez], and Balotelli," the 39-cap Italy international told Gazzetta dello Sport when asked to name three players he believes are overrated.

“Is Pogba really worth €120m? Not for me. Rodriguez €80m? Balotelli?

"I love Mario and in France he's doing pretty well, but both he and Pogba have been very lucky in life.

"They are managed by a very good manager, Mino Raiola, who has given incredible opportunities to both."
