Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone, has claimed that Manchester United have two of the best midfielders in the world.

The Argentine tactician stated this ahead of their Champions League last 16 first leg clash in Spain on Wednesday night.

Simeone named Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay as players with “a great balance” and spoke about how impressed he was with their work rate.

“They have an incredible midfield. I am incredibly impressed with the work rate.

“Pogba and McTominay are two of the best midfielders in the world with a great balance,” he said.

Pogba and McTominay started for the Red Devils last weekend as they won 4-2 at Leeds United in the Premier League.
