Tottenham keeper ​Lloris praises Man Utd star Pogba as 'leader'

France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has praised his international teammate Paul Pogba.

The Spurs man had positive words to say about the Manchester United midfielder.

Pogba has come in for some criticism at club level for his poor performances so far this season.

But he looked in decent shape as France played out a 0-0 UEFA Nations League draw with Portugal.

Lloris said to M6: "Very present, he wanted the ball. He put on his voice.

"He is a leader, and we felt it.

"After a year of absence, we felt him in the legs. But he was fine."
