Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves insists Paul Pogba is a superior footballer to Chelsea's N'Golo Kante.

The two face off on Sunday at Old Trafford.

Hargreaves told The Sun: “Paul is a unique talent.

“You talk about some of the best midfielders in the word like Pirlo, best passers of the ball like Michael Carrick and you talk about Fabregas' assists, Kante's interceptions and the intelligence of Hazard.

“I know they probably won't like it, but it's a fact.

“All of those players are great at one thing but I think Pogba's great at everything, someone who can play in at least four positions.

“Most of all he's a good kid, still the fun–loving kid I knew years ago.

“Rather than knock him down, this kid's not going to go away."
