Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba believes teammate Mason Greenwood can go to the very top of the game.

The England wide forward has struggled for his best form this season, failing to replicate the same goal scoring standards he set last term.

But the 19-year-old has improved in recent weeks, and netted twice for the Red Devils as they defeated Burnley 3-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday.

"Mason is a big-talented player that we had from our academy," Pogba told Sky Sports before the game.

"He can go to the highest level, world class, it just depends on him.

"He has to work hard, harder than everyone, believe in himself and want it. When you're talented like this, you already have talent, now it's only the work you put in to make you become the world-class player you have to become with this talent.

"It depends on him. I will always be the guy to push him, not praise him too much, but push him to get to the level he should arrive at.

"That's the way I am, I don't like being praised too much because you can get too comfortable and you think you are there when you are not.

"World-class players like Lionel Messi and Ronaldo have been top for years and years. Achieving that for one year is not enough, you want to be world-class for your whole career."
