Manchester United coach Paul Scholes admits he's a big fan of Paul Pogba.

The young French featured in the Carling Cup defeat to Crystal Palace this week.

Scholes told manutd.com: "He is a big, strong player. His skill is brilliant, as are his physique and speed. The one thing that he probably needs to tidy up a little bit is his passing, but once that comes right, he's potentially a top-class player.

"All of these players are young and they have plenty of time to progress, and once they tidy up a few little things, they should be fine."
