Paul Pogba has told Sky he would welcome the chance to play under Pep Guardiola.

Barcelona had been touted as the favorites to sign Pogba but they've reportedly withdrawn from the race as they don't believe they will be able to afford him.

Juventus will play Bayern Munich this week in the Champions League.

"Guardiola is a coach with a lot of experience, he has a philosophy which is very important and he has a big impact on the team," he said.

"People respect him. When you see him, you want to play and progress. He is an icon of football and I've heard he manages to improve every player he has at his disposal."

Pogba was asked if he would like to work with Guardiola in the future.

"I am a Juventus player now, but for sure when there is a coach like him he will coach you and you will become better."
