MANCHESTER UNITED star Paul Pogba hailed the arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane to Old Trafford.
Ronaldo completed a blockbuster return to United during the dying days of the summer transfer window following a £21million deal with Juventus.
That was after the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's former Real Madrid team-mate Varane also finalised a £42million move to the Red Devils.
Pogba is very pleased that he will get the chance to play alongside some of the best players in the world.
The star midfielder added that Ronaldo is "going to raise the level" at United ahead of a challenging Premier League season.
Pogba told : "It's always a pleasure to play with the best.
"It's also a plus for the players to be able to train with a great player. He's going to raise the level of the team."
Pogba sang Ronaldo's praises shortly after the star forward completed his stunning comeback to Manchester.
