Paul Pogba: I don’t deserve Ballon d’Or

Paul Pogba says he would love a Frenchman to win the Ballon d’Or, but does not believe he can win it.

The Manchester United midfielder was named on the 30-man shortlist for the award for the best player of the year, with the winner to be announced in Paris on December 3.




There were seven French players named on the list after helping the team win their second World Cup in Russia.

Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante and Tottenham’s Hugo Lloris are in contention, along with Kylian Mbappe, Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann and Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane and Karim Benzema.

“Whether it’s Grizou (Griezmann), Kylian (Mbappe) or Raph’ (Varane), they deserve it much more than me,” Pogba told AFP.

“I can not designate one. But I hope with all my heart that this is one of the three.

France manager Didier Deschamps believes the feud between Paul Pogba and Mourinho has been exaggerated.




“One of the four also because there is NG (Kante). That’s all I hope for anyway, because there are many who deserve it. I do not put myself in.”
