Leicester boss Puel: Mentally, physically Pogba now unstoppable

Leicester City boss Claude Puel is full of praise for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

Puel spoke to Le Parisien about his fellow Frenchman after defeat to United on Sunday.

He stated, "You cannot put an individual mark on him. He is powerful, he feels the blows on the surface, cuts the trajectories, gets forward very quickly.

"We could not really stop him. It is a physical challenge that is almost impossible. It's a mental challenge, to understand what he's going to do. He has a super vision of the game.

"With one or two touches, he can give extraordinary goal creating balls, especially over the defence. He sees very quickly and technically he is very developed.

"There are so many productive players that we organise the team around them. This is happening today in Manchester United. There is Pogba and they make the team around him because he became the essential element of the eleven."
