Paul Pogba heaps praise on 'extraordinary' Aurelien Tchouameni and hopes to 'always' play alongside the 21-year-old Manchester United target for France

Paul Pogba has given his seal of approval to Manchester United target Aurelien Tchouameni, hailing his 'extraordinary' talent.

Tchouameni has caught the eye of several top-flight clubs after starring for Ligue 1 side Monaco after joining them from Bordeaux for £16million in January 2020.

He was closely linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with Chelsea and United vying for his signature, but has stayed in France for another season to develop his skills further.

The 21-year-old was a first-team regular last season, playing 42 times for Monaco in all competitions, and has so far started all the club's games this season.
