Laurent Blanc: Pogba is better than Vieira

French legend Laurent Blanc believes that Man Utd midfielder Paul Pogba is a better player than World Cup winning midfielder Patrick Vieira. Pogba is expected to play a major part in Didier Deschamps' French squad for the upcoming tournament this summer.

Pogba is widely considered as one of the best midfielders in the world, despite having a frustrating season for his club Manchester United. 

However, for France, he is expected to be a major player in Russia. 

“I think he’s a new player, let’s not forget he’s young, so I think he still has room to improve,’ Blanc told FIFA.com.

“In my generation we have very physically impressive players, like Patrick Vieira, for example.

“Technically speaking Patrick is really good, but he is not as good as Pogba, especially in terms of attacking.

“If he can optimise his physical potential and his technique, he will be able to score many goals.

“He is well ahead of the other players in terms of physical levels, it will make a difference at some point in the game.”
