10 Things Man City Fans Need To Know About Paul Pogba

4. Comparisons To Vieira Aren't As Accurate As They Seem

Both strong, tall French midfielders, comparisons between Pogba and Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira were inevitable. Vieira himself has gone on record to highlight their differences however, claiming that Pogba is a far more attacking player than he. A current member of the City coaching staff, Vieira was very complimentary of the youngster, claiming that his technique never matched up to that of the Juventus prodigy. It remains to be seen whether such kind words will encourage Pogba to make a move to the Etihad, but it can never hurt being compared to such an influential player in the Premier League's history - even if such claims may be slightly less accurate than they initially seem.
