Man Utd midfielder Pogba: Waddle a hero for me

Manchester United ace Paul Pogba admits he admires many of his midfield peers.

But he also revealed he grew up a fan of Marseille hero Chris Waddle.

He told TyC Sports: "When I was smaller I always looked up to Zidane, Messi, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo.

"I had videos of Maradona. Pele, Chris Waddle, Kaka, many players. I wanted to have all the virtues of those players.

"Now I look more at players like Iniesta, Yaya Toure, Kevin De Bruyne who is a young player and Modric who is a very strong midfielder player. I look at them to try to be better."
