Paul Pogba's critics are jealous and will eventually be proven wrong, according to his Manchester United team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes Paul Pogba's "jealous" critics will be silenced by the midfielder.

World-record signing Pogba has made a slow start to life back at Old Trafford, where United suffered a 2-1 derby loss to Manchester City on Saturday.

But Ibrahimovic has no doubt as to the 23-year-old's talents, insisting the France international will prove people wrong.

"Paul came from a generation that is becoming important in France," the Swedish striker told SFR Sport.
