Paul Pogba has named former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can as one of two toughest opponents he has faced in his career.
The World Cup winner faced the German twice when he played for the Reds during the 2016/17 season. Both games ended in draws and Pogba has now named him and Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante, whom he gave high praise, as the two trickiest players he has come up against.
Speaking to JOE he said: “Obviously, N’Golo and everything, but one day I remember I had a big battle with Emre Can. “But with Kante, you pass him and you think there’s another N’Golo because he comes back so fast.”
