Man United star Pogba reveals his Portuguese ‘inspiration’ to UEFA

Manchester United star Paul Pogba has revealed his Portuguese inspiration on the official UEFA website.

Pogba was quoted as saying that Besiktas winger Ricardo Quaresma is an inspiration to him.

“Quaresma is an inspiration. The way he uses the outside of his foot is amazing, it is his weapon; he can pass, dribble and shoot with it which is an amazing skill,” Pogba was quoted as saying.

There is no denying that Quaresma has amazing technique, his trivela ability is the stuff of legend.
