Olympique Marseille defender Adil Rami has hailed the leadership ability of France teammate Paul Pogba.

Rami admits the Manchester United midfielder surprised him during the World Cup.

"I can tell you that Paul Pogba, I don't know how and I don't know from where, has become a leader. He proved it to us, he showed it," Rami said.

"He's a technical player, he has a lot of talent. He was able to battle defensively.

"Everyone loves players who do tricks, nutmegs, flicks. I can tell you that Paul, today, became a leader. He's the one that showed the way."
