Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is determined to make a name for himself and has brushed off comparisons to France legend Patrick Vieira.

The French national team has called up Pogba for their squad in preparation for the World Cup qualifying matches against Georgia and Spain.

Currently, the French team sits in second place in their group, level on points with Spain.

Pogba, after joining up with the national side, claimed to ignore comparisons to other French players, insisting that he would make his own name.

“Comparisons with Patrick Vieira? Because I have long legs they say I run like him, but Vieira remains Vieira, I want to be Pogba,” he told RMC Sport.

“I hope to impose myself on the France team. In any case, I will make every effort to have a great career. I will give everything for it.

“I’m here because the coach believes I’m ready. Besides, I think so. I’m ready to play and show my qualities.”
