Ander Herrera has claimed that Paul Pogba can play his part in helping Manchester United move up the Premier League table.

With Pogba having already expressed a desire to leave Old Trafford, reports have suggested that United are prepared to cash in on the World Cup winner during the next transfer window.

However, Herrera, a former teammate of the France international, feels that the playmaker can regain his best form once football resumes after the coronavirus pandmeic.

Speaking to ESPN, Herrera said: "Pogba can be the best midfielder in the world. In terms of qualities, he has everything. I have never seen a midfielder who has all the qualities you can have. He can recover a lot of balls, he can head the ball, he can score goals, he can defend, he can attack, he's so strong and tall.

"It's true that since he came to the club he has some ups and downs, but when he was good, he was really good. Amazing. It was a pleasure to play with him.

"I think all the Manchester United fans want to see the best of Pogba. That can happen, and with Bruno Fernandes, I think Manchester United can do great things."

Pogba has made just eight appearances in all competitions this season, none of which have come in 2020.
