Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has described playing alongside Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba for France as 'a pleasure'.
The two World Cup winners have forged an excellent partnership in the middle of the field for Les Bleus and have not lost any of the 26 games they have started together.
Pogba currently finds himself in the unfamiliar position of not being a guaranteed starter for United and admitted he is currently enduring the most difficult period of his career.
The 27-year-old has been widely criticised for his performances at club level but Kante believes his partnership with the United star is as good as ever.
"Yes it is true, with Paul it has been a little while he’s been injured, a little while since I played with him," he told TF1 . "We all remember the World Cup, that whole adventure we did together, the qualifications stage and the competition, and it is a pleasure again to be playing with Paul in the national team.
"Against Portugal we had a good game and we are all satisfied with our performance."
Despite their excellent record together, Kante praised the entire France team when pressed further on his relationship with Pogba.
He said: "I think it is not that simple. We are all together, it is not just Kante and Pogba, but the whole team.
"We are happy that we have never lost when we have started together, I hope that will continue for as long as possible, but these are victories and draws for whole team, not just us two."
