ANTHONY MARTIAL is tipping pal Paul Pogba as a future Ballon d’Or winner.
The Manchester United forward reckons his team-mate is already the best midfielder in the world. And he thinks Pogba, 24, is in line for football’s biggest individual accolade to confirm his talents.
In an upcoming MUTV documentary, he said: “I would say he is probably the best midfield player in the world.
“Paul is very mentally strong and he is very sure of himself.
“He is a big guy, he is very technical on the ball and he has lots of endurance.
“He is still young, too, so he has a lot to work on and he can get even better.
“If he continues to play and improve like he is doing then I think he is also going to win the Ballon d’Or award in the next five years.” Pogba has got off to a flier this season and set up Martial for United's fourth against Swansea after scoring himself.
The French duo have two apiece this campaign and will be looking for more in a new-look team.
