´I want to become a legend´, says Pogba

Greatness is on the mind of Paul Pogba, with the in-demand Juventus midfielder determined to be remembered like legendary pair Pele and Diego Maradona.

Pogba has developed into one of football s most sought-after players since leaving Manchester United for Juventus in 2012, helping the Italian champions to four consecutive Serie A titles and the 2015 Champions League final.

Despite his success in Turin, the 23-year-old France international is not content as he dreams of winning the Champions League, World Cup and European Championship.

I don t think I am a great. I think I ve done nothing. I ve done nothing in soccer, Pogba told ESPN as he prepares for Friday s Euro 2016 curtain-raiser against Romania.

I ve won leagues, but I haven t won the Champions League, the World Cup, the Euros. Winning the Euro in France, that wouldn t be bad.

That s my strength [ambitions]. I want to work, to be a great, to win everything.

When asked how he wanted to me remembered in 30 years, Pogba who has been linked with a return to United while European champions Real Madrid are reportedly interested added: By watching YouTube, like they do with Maradona and Pele.

When I say I want to become a legend, some people say it s pretentious. For me, it s a challenge. My desire, a dream. I m not saying I ll get there, but it s what I want.
