"Paul Pogba could perhaps even become the best player in the world"

"My idea was to make him play to the best of his abilities as an attacking midfielder. There are different types of midfielders, but in his mold, I do not think anyone near him is physically present. He can score goals, he has excellent technique, his diving head against Chelsea was fantastic, he did the same against Bournemouth when he ran from the center line to the surface.

SOlskjaer said Pogba had found the ideal complement to the midfield with Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic, who "are doing Paul's job as he is" and Vidic thinks the midfielder could be the main battleground against Liverpool.

"Man United has to match the energy and aggressiveness of the Liverpool players," he said. "If they do, they will win the game. This is where I see the strength of Liverpool: movement without balloon, aggression and repetition. They are the best in the league to do these things.

"The movement of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane running behind and that of Roberto Firmino who arrives at the ball, they are still moving. It's a challenge for the defenders, but United's midfielder must be aggressive and not give Liverpool too much time or easy pbades for the attackers. "
