Paul Pogba's leadership qualities impress Luke Shaw | OneFootball

Paul Pogba is a ‘beast’ of vital importance to Manchester United and a ‘very big leader’ in the dressing room, according to Luke Shaw.

The Frenchman returned to Old Trafford after winning the World Cup and captained the team to an opening day victory over Leicester.

Shaw and Pogba each got on the scoresheet against the Foxes and the former believes the latter is an ‘unbelievable’ player.

“Paul doesn’t need a break,” he told MUTV. “Honestly, he’s a beast! He’s unbelievable. He only came back three or four days before the game and it just shows how important he is for the team.

“He was captain and is a very, very big leader in the dressing room, as you’ll have seen that in the videos from France [at the World Cup] of course.

“For me, he’s helped me a lot – we’ve spoken a bit. He’s a wonderful guy and an even better player on the pitch. Honestly, he’s so important for us. Like I said, he’s only been here for three or four days and to put in a performance like that was unbelievable.

“It’s nice to have him in the team and around the place – he cheers everyone up and gives good vibes. For me, he’s one of the most important players, probably in the Premier League – he’s got everything.

“I’m glad to be able to play with him and I hope we can share some good memories together this season.”
