Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba admits he is flattered by praise from Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.

Zidane hasn't hidden his admiration for Pogba, stating in the past how highly he regards his fellow Frenchman.

"I find him fantastic," said Zidane. "What I like about him is that he has everything. He is a complete player, also capable of scoring goals because he looks forward a lot. On his football skills, he is extraordinary. He interests all clubs."

Asked about Zizou's comments from 2016, Pogba replied: "Words like those of my idol, it's something that touches me a lot. To hear from Zidane, Buffon, Ronaldo, Henry, it's something that makes you very happy."
