LA Galaxy star Ibrahimovic picks two France stars as World Cup standouts

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has talked up two players who he thinks will have a major impact on the tournament.

The two players that Ibra has chosen as his potential stars are Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe.

Pogba and Ibrahimovic were teammates at Manchester United, which makes his inclusion less surprising.

Speaking to FIFA, the 36-year-old said: "I think [Paul] Pogba for sure, who everybody knows is fast and skilful.

"[Kylian] Mbappe, an up-and-coming star who still has more to give to get to the top, but he will for sure arrive there.

"There are so many players who are exciting at the moment that for sure some other star that nobody has been talking about will dominate."
