They have only become team-mates this summer but Paul Pogba has hailed the impact of fellow summer signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Manchester United.
Pogba returned to United for a world record fee in August, four years after leaving the club for Juventus, while striker Ibrahimovic arrived on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
In their short time together the duo have developed a clear understanding on the pitch and it appears their bond has extended to off it too.
The duo are gearing up for Monday night’s Premier League trip to Anfield to face bitter rivals Liverpool and Pogba is delighted he has the experience of Ibrahimovic alongside him for the clash.
‘Ibrahimovic is like a big brother,’ Pogba told French television station TF1.
‘He has a winning mentality, a great player, very dangerous. He’s very important in Manchester – he can help us reach our objectives.’
