Although Pogba did not have the greatest season at manchester united, Ibrahimovic thinks his combination of skill and pace could make him into a vital instrument for France.
Ibrahimovic gave his opinion via FIFA’s website when asked what players he thought could make a major impact during the tournament.
He says: “I think Pogba for sure, who everybody knows is fast and skilful.
“Mbappe, an upcoming star who still has more to give to get to the top, but he will for sure arrive there…there are so many players who are exciting at the moment that for sure some other star that nobody has been talking about will dominate.”
He, however, did not rule out other superstars looking to stamp their names in the history books. He adds: “Remember it’s not an individual game we are playing, but a team game.
“I think Neymar, after being injured and coming back, will have a lot of hunger to play and will lift his team and they will push for him.
“I think with Messi, the picture is normal: he is the best and the team follows him. Ronaldo, the same thing. Let’s see what happens.”
Zlatan who has retired from international football will not be participating in this World Cup but maintains that the world cup would never be the same without him.
“It was clear that I was not going to be in the national team playing, but like I said four years ago and I say it again now: the FIFA World Cup without me is not worth watching! I really mean that.”
