Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic deserve credit for Paul Pogba's form.

Solskjaer is delighted with the form of Pogba.

And when it was suggested to Solskjaer that in Pogba and England forward Marcus Rashford he has two players to build around, he said: "They are young enough to stay here for many years, you hope.

"But you have (Nemanja) Matic and (Ander) Herrera that makes Paul's job the one it is - you have to complement each other.

"You cannot just put out 11 Ronaldos or Messis on the pitch and think you are going to win a game.

"It is all about complementing each other's attributes and I think we have found a good balance in midfield here so far."

Solskjaer has been particularly impressed by Spain international Herrera and said: "He covers every single grass on the pitch - it is not his job but he does it when necessary.

"Against Chelsea for example (in the FA Cup on Monday), in the first minute he ended up almost left wing and winning the ball.

"We were sitting there, asking 'how has he ended up there? We want to see that on the video'.

"He has so much passion, energy and enthusiasm and he gives everyone around him that bit of extra - he has been through a good school with (Marcelo) Bielsa at Athletic Bilbao.

"He can play sitting midfielder, he can run, so it is about which one we decide for him."
