Paul Pogba claims Eduardo Camavinga is like Kylian Mbappe amid Man United links

Paul Pogba can see similarities between Manchester United target Eduardo Camavinga and Kylian Mbappe.

Reports emerged on the weekend claiming Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will attempt to sign Camavinga this summer once United's deal for Jadon Sancho is complete and it's suggested that Rennes are indeed prepared to listen to offers for the young midfielder.

Camavinga, 18, has taken Ligue 1 by storm against players much his senior and he's made 39 first-team appearances this season, even excelling in the Champions League for Rennes, where his current contract is set to expire at the end of next campaign.

Pogba is playing at the European Championship with France and, while Camavinga is currently playing at the U21 Euro Championship, the United midfielder lavished the praise on his fellow countryman when asked for his verdict in a press conference.

Would you like Camavinga to sign for United? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

“I followed his [Camavinga] matches in Ligue 1, he’s young but he’s like Kylian [Mbappe], you don’t talk to him about age," Pogba said.

“He already has a maturity, a serenity that I didn’t have at his age, and that a lot of players don’t have.

"It’s a pleasure to see him put on this jersey, score his first goal, it was beautiful. I only wish him the best and even more, because he has everything to succeed. The future is in his hands. He is also comfortable as a person.”
