PSG midfielder Herrera: Pogba could be Ballon d'Or - if Man Utd were winning trophies

PSG midfielder Ander Herrera is full of praise for former Manchester United teammate Paul Pogba.

Herrera played three seasons at United alongside Pogba.

Ahead of tonight's Champions League clash in Paris, he said: "I think he has it all. I have already said a lot that there is no midfielder like him. He can do 1 vs 1, win balls, attack, box to box. He has all the qualities.

"I think he's playing a little deeper now, because they signed Bruno Fernandes. And before, we used to play 3, me more to the right and he more to the left. He has all the qualities to become one of the best players in the world. When you see the list of candidate players for the Ballon d'Or, normally he plays on the team that wins everything.

"If MU has the capacity to fight for all the titles, he will be in the list for the Ballon d'Or, for all the trophies. But I repeat what I said before. I am a PSG player."
