Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba says former Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby is a major influence on his playing style.
“Who is stronger than me in central midfield? [Andres] Iniesta, [Luka] Modric, [Toni] Kroos, [Kevin] De Bruyne, [David] Silva – even Abou Diaby. He was exceptional at Arsenal. People forget about him but I learned a lot from him.”
Pogba has endured mixed reviews since returning to United from Juventus for £89.3million in 2016. This weekend he was linked with a switch back to Juve by Italian newspaper Tuttosport.
