Man Utd midfielder Pogba: We all learn and inspired by Cavani

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is full of praise for teammate Edinson Cavani.

Before last night's defeat to Sheffield United, Pogba discussed what Cavani had brought to the squad.

He told Bein Sport: "What has Edinson Cavani brought since joining Manchester United? Experience shows that work pays off. Whether in training or in a match, he shows all his qualities.

"At 33, he's a world-class player. He works hard, he plays well, he wins and he's there. It's good for young players to see that. They see the guy who gives a lot and works a lot. He gives a positive energy, hard work mentality and he has a lot of experience. It's good to have him.

"Everyone learns from him, from the oldest to the youngest. He speaks to everyone and even if it is in Spanish and that everyone does not understand, just the energy of his speeches brings to the team."
