Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has said that midfielder Paul Pogba can become the best player in the world, and one day win the Ballon d'Or.

The Frenchman scored the opening goal in Juventus's 4-0 win over Hellas Verona in Serie A, and his recent form has led Allegri to suggest he can go to the very top.

He told reporters: "We treat Pogba like a veteran. But he is still very young. I often tell him to think about which areas of the field he can do certain things, as sometimes he goes a bit over the top, [but on Sunday] he played a great game.

"In order to win the Ballon d'Or you tend to need the Champions League or a major international trophy. He certainly has what it takes to achieve that."

Pogba joined Juventus from Manchester United in 2012.
