Man Utd ace Pogba hails France hero Mbappe: Much more talented than I

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba was happy to take a backseat to France teammate Kylian Mbappe after yesterday's World Cup victory over Argentina.

Both players were impressive as Didier Deschamps' side saw off Argentina 4-3 to reach the World Cup quarter-final.

But Pogba refused to entertain comparisons between them, insisting that his colleague is a far more capable player.

“Kylian has much more talent than I have," he said of the PSG striker.

“Do you see what he is doing at his age? No, I never had his talent.

“He has so much speed... he's a forward, he can't be compared with me."
