Star sprinter Usain Bolt labelled Manchester United's midfielder Paul Pogba as a 'world-class player' and claimed Marcus Rashford is also in the process to becoming one.

"Paul Pogba is a world-class player and Marcus Rashford is developing into one. I hope we can build a team around them to get us back to the top."

"It has been a difficult start for us this season, but hopefully, we will find our rhythm and secure Champions League football for next year. I am a big Manchester United fan," FIFA's official website quoted Bolt as saying.

Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk, are the top three nominees for the FIFA Best Player Award.

Bolt during his interview also said that it might be van Dijk's time to win the award, but later on, added that he's a Man Utd fan, so voting for Cristiano Ronaldo makes more sense. 

"All three are wonderful players. I think Messi and Ronaldo have won this award five times each. Van Dijk just won the UEFA award and based on the success of Liverpool last season it may be his turn."

"As a Manchester United fan, I would probably vote for Ronaldo," Bolt said.

When asked who would he pick for running a 4*100 meters relay race along with him, Bolt named Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, France's Kylan Mbappe and Wales' Gareth Bale in his team.
