Vidic Tips Pogba To Become World Best Player

By Joshua Walters

Former Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has tipped French midfielder Paul Pogba to become the world best player.

The Serbian believes the Manchester United midfielder has the qualities to become the best player in the world sooner than later.

The World Cup winner had a struggling moment under former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho but has been splendid under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, scoring seven goals and also leading the side into the top four spot and the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

Vidic, who had an illustrious career at Old Trafford, has been left fascinated by Pogba's recent form and says the player could become a standout player if he continues on that line.

"I think even when I was playing at a club, what you want from your leaders is you want them to be an example".

"You don't want them to talk - sometimes yes, to be encouraging towards the players - but you want them to be an example. I think Paul is a great player, has a great talent and he's showed how good he is."

"But if he starts running and doing things he does I think he can even maybe aim for other things – individual awards and maybe get even to be the best player in the world."

"He was in the reserves when I was at the club. He trained at the time with us a few times. He was always technically good, very physical, he has a presence on the pitch."

"He has as well some difficulties in the beginning and maybe recent times, but in the last few weeks, he's playing some great football. I think he's one of the leaders in the team.

"If he keeps performing like he's performing, running up and down like he's doing, I think he's showing examples to other players. I think that's very important from the quality players, players who have some reputation like Pogba has, with winning the World Cup, playing for Juventus, winning trophies."

"Some players are looking towards him and so if he does these things, I think other players will do even more than him."

"In terms of that, I think sometimes even if he doesn't perform well I think his character is very important for the team."
