Paul Pogba To Win Ballon d’Or Soon- Anthony Martial

Anthony Martial has hailed his Manchester United team mate Paul Pogba as probably the best midfield player in the world and claims his France team-mate could win the Ballon d’Or within the next five years.

Martial praised Pogba for his character both on and off the field. Pogba joined United from Juventus last August in what was a world-record fee of £89m, before going on to score nine goals from 53 appearances for United during the 2016/17 campaign. Martial feels the 24-year-old can in time become the world's best footballer and said: "Paul is very mentally strong and he is very sure of himself.

He said “He is a big guy, he is very technical on the ball and he has lots of endurance. I would say he is probably the best midfield player in the world. He is still young, too, so he has a lot to work on and he can get even better. As a person, you can see he is always the same. 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.”
