Former Manchester United assistant boss Steve McClaren insists Paul Pogba would walk into the Liverpool team.

McClaren has spoken in depth about Pogba's qualities and how the United midfielder would easily get into the Liverpool side - amid controversial talk of combined XIs.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, he said: “Pogba gets in for me. Pogba on his day is one of the best midfielders in the world, he's creative and do anything with the ball.

“He's got that right attitude, could play in that Liverpool team and certainly a great Manchester United team."

United will meet Liverpool on Sunday.
