'They deserve it' - Manchester United star Paul Pogba makes Liverpool title admission

Paul Pogba believes Liverpool deserve to win the Premier League title.

The Manchester United star admitted, however, that he didn't want the Reds to claim victory in the league because of rivalry between the two clubs.

Jurgen Klopp's side are on course to secure the title within the next four games and France international Pogba, who hasn't played since December 26 with injury, said Liverpool are even better now than when they won the Champions League.

"They are so way ahead of everyone else," Pogba told ESPN.

"They have not lost a single game yet this season in the league. They already have one hand on the Premier League trophy.

"As a Manchester United player and with the rivalry between us, we don't want them to win the title. We don't want anyone else to win apart from us, but as a football lover and a respectful player to opposition team, I have to say that they deserve to be where they are today.

"They have been even better than last season when they won the Champions League and the season before when they [lost the final to Real Madrid]."
