Jurgen Klopp: 'Paul Pogba is world class'

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp calls Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba "world class" ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash between the two teams.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has branded Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba "world class" ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash between the two teams at Anfield.

Pogba left Juventus to re-join United in the summer of 2016, and the midfielder has scored five times and registered four assists in 20 appearances for the Red Devils this term.

The 25-year-old is likely to be on the bench when United visit Liverpool this weekend, having fallen out of favour under head coach Jose Mourinho in recent weeks.

Indeed, the midfielder's long-term future at Old Trafford is far from secure, with both Barcelona and Juventus strongly linked with moves during the summer transfer window.

Pogba put in another lacklustre performance against Valencia in the Champions League on Wednesday night, but Klopp has insisted that the 2018 World Cup winner "is a world-class player".

"Paul Pogba is a world-class player and he's a Man Utd player - we have to prepare for that," Klopp told reporters.

United are currently five positions and 16 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool in the table.
