Bayern Munich midfielder Kingsley Coman has spoken openly of his admiration for Paul Pogba.

Manchester United are being linked with Coman in today's English media.

And speaking when Pogba made his return to United back in 2016, Coman singled him out as a player he would love to have alongside him at Bayern.

“If I could choose a player, I would like to have Pogba for Bayern," Coman told Bild four years ago.

“This would be fantastic. He has unbelievable abilities and is a fantastic midfielder.

"Apart from this he is not only important on the pitch. He has a huge marketing value. He stays in people's minds."

Coman, 24, played alongside Pogba during his tough spell at Juventus and they are also international team-mates with France.
