'He's so good' - Aribo in awe of display of Man Utd's France ace Pogba vs Portugal

Published: June 24, 2021

Glasgow Rangers midfielder Joe Aribo was excited about the performance of Manchester United star Paul Pogba during France's 2-2 draw with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in a European Championship clash on Wednesday.

In a thrilling game at the Puskás Aréna - Budapest, France and Portugal shared the spoils, with Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo each bagging a brace.

The Real Madrid striker made it 2-1 in the 47th minute when he swept his finish across goalkeeper Rui Patrício in and off the far post after he was released by a wonderful pass from Pogba.

Midway through the second half, the France number 6 bent an effort at goal but the Portugal goalkeeper made a brilliant save to deny him as he diverted the ball on to the post.

Just like Pogba is, Aribo is a midfielder with offensive and defensive attributes and can be deployed in multiple positions in the middle of the pitch.

Writing on social media (via Rangers News), Aribo stated : "Could honestly watch Pogba all day, He’s so good".

Barring an injury or severe loss of form, Aribo is set to represent Nigeria in his first major tournament at next year's Africa Cup of Nations holding in Cameroon.

The former Charlton Athletic man pulled out of the Super Eagles squad for this month's friendlies as a result of injury.
