Manchester United star Paul Pogba is similar to former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, according to Paul Scholes.
Pogba has missed the majority of the season through injury and faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford with his contract set to expire at the end of next season, though United have the option to extend it for a further season.
The Frenchman recently hit back at Liverpool legend Graeme Souness for the constant criticism of his ability and vowed to help United win trophies on his return to full fitness.
Scholes played alongside Pogba during his early years at United prior to his switch to Juventus and former United captain Nemanja Vidic revealed the former England international would often subject the Frenchman to rough treatment to toughen him up following his move from the youth team.
Nevertheless, Scholes was full of praise for his former teammate and believes he shares characteristics with Gerrard.
"I played a bit with Paul and everyone knows the talent he's got," Scholes told the UTD Podcast .
"He's been brilliant for Juventus, brilliant for France in the World Cup and really good at times here [at United ] as well.
"He can do everything as a midfield player and you'd probably liken him to Steven Gerrard with the pace, the power, the skill. He can do absolutely everything."
Pogba recently revealed what he learnt from playing alongside Scholes at United.
He said: "You learn a lot and you look at them.
“I really learned and have been learning. It was unbelievable for me, seeing them training like that, and it pushed me.
“Okay, I have to work hard and have a lot more to do. Pirlo and Scholes, those are midfielders who control the game, the players to look at, and I learned from them, a lot.”
