Pogba left Manchester United in 2012 for Juventus and Manchester United paid £85 million to secure his services this summer.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Scholes has backed Pogba to make an instant impact at Manchester United.

And believes he shares his attitude with Ronaldo.

They’re very different people and players, but they both have the same confidence and arrogance on the pitch.

“They both train incredibly hard. Pogba and Ronaldo are great athletes – they’re both great in the gym – and they train for as long as they can on the training field. Hopefully, Pogba will reach the level Ronaldo has done.”

He played in a midfield three at Juventus, which seemed to suit him down to the ground,” added Scholes. “He had the license to get into the box and score goals. For France, he seemed to play as a holding midfielder and I didn’t think he was as effective there.

“I’d play him alongside a more defensive-minded player – Michael Carrick, Morgan Schneiderlin or Daley Blind. You have to let him get forward and use his power and pace to get in the final third.”

When Pogba first trained with the first team we knew he was a talent and we knew he was going to be a top player, but I think he’s become a complete player over the last few years.

“He’s a really good lad and he was a great personality in the dressing room, even at a young age. He gets on well with everyone and he’s a fantastic trainer.”
