Deschamps: Why Pogba won't win Ballon d'Or with Man Utd...

France coach Didier Deschamps is unsure if Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba can win the Ballon d'Or.

Deschamps feels Pogba's type of game won't see him win the gong over the duration of his career.

He explained on RMC: "He's a midfielder ... The Ballon d'Or, are attackers or number 10s, with rare exceptions from some competitions. They are players who score goals.

"Paul, he's scored, he will score, but he will not score three goals in each game. It's not his game. He creates things and he will always be like that. He can do things that others do not do, but it must also be in the reality of what is good for the team.

"We're talking about a young player. He is at a club where he is also used in different positions."
