Paul Pogba says France's system offers him more freedom than when he plays for Manchester United.

Ahead of his country's highly anticipated Euro 2020 opener against Germany, Pogba has highlighted how he is free to attack more while playing for France - and said he has more defensive responsibilities at United than he did with Juventus.

"We were already playing with three midfielders [at Juventus], in 5-3-2," he told L'Equipe. "I had the freedom, I had to be in the box, to attack. It was an obligation.

"In Manchester, I have the freedom to go into the box, but the priority is to play and defend."

Talking about the France team, he added: "We play in 4-2-3-1, also a diamond. I am a little more in the transmission, in the construction. But I have more freedom than in Manchester to enter the box, to make runs forwards."
