Jose Mourinho: "Paul Pogba can make football history"

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has tipped superstar midfielder Paul Pogba to become an all-time great at Old Trafford.

The 24-year-old started his second campaign back at the club in impressive style before being struck down by a hamstring problem, likely ruling him out for another month.

Mourinho has confidence that Pogba can become a legend at club level in the years to come, but is doubtful whether France boss Didier Deschamps is currently getting the best out of the £89m former Juventus midfielder.

"Paul can make football history," he told Telefoot. "He has talent. We have the balance in midfield to occupy space better [this season]. [Partnered] with [Blaise] Matuidi [for France], I think he isn't happy."

Pogba, who has been absent from the United squad since the 3-0 win over Basel on September 12, returned to light training earlier this week.
