Zlatan Ibrahimovic names one Man Utd player who can make difference vs Barcelona

Zlatan Ibrahimovic says Paul Pogba can be the difference in Manchester United's Champions League quarter-final with Barcelona .

The Swede, who represented both clubs during his career, is on the fence over who will win the tie, but thinks Pogba can certainly have a say.

As for who Manchester United need to keep an eye on, Ibrahimovic unsurprisingly believes Lionel Messi can cause the Old Trafford club a few problems.

"I think it will be a very interesting game. Two big teams, two big clubs playing against each other," Ibrahimovic told Barcelona's official website.
