Jesse Lingard has opened up on playing youth football with Manchester United teammate Paul Pogba.

The Frenchman has since developed into a superstar of the game, adding a World Cup winners medal to his trophy cabinet in 2018.

Lingard and Pogba were teammates for United's 2011 FA Youth Cup win.

"I have been with him since the Under-18s and you could see the talent that he possessed at such a young age," Jesse recalled on UTD Podcast.

"Even then he was big, he was strong and when he was on the ball, although he sometimes made mistakes, you could tell the talent that he possessed. Week in, week out, in training and in games, there were things that he brought to the team, like the confidence.

"Even off the pitch, it gave everyone confidence and he's carried that on now. Obviously he's won the World Cup as well so that's a cherry on top."
