Paul Pogba spoke to ESPN about the current Premier League season and revealed his admiration for Liverpool. The French midfielder said the following:
"‘As a Manchester United player and with the rivalry between us, we don’t want them (Liverpool) to win the title — but as a football lover and a respectful player to (the) opposition team, I have to say that they deserve to be where they are today.”"
