Luis Suarez has become the second Barcelona player in a week to encourage Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba to come to the Nou Camp.

Just days after Gerard Pique said he would be 'happy' to have the Frenchman in Catalunya, Suarez has echoed his team-mate's words saying he would be 'welcome' at the club.

It emerged last week that Pogba is keen on a move to the Spanish champions, and his agent has been in talks with the club.

United remain determined to keep their star man after shelling out a then-world record £89m to resign him in 2016.

But Suarez believes his talent would be better served at Barcelona, where he can compete for the top prizes in football.

'Pogba's an elite player who's won everything,' Suarez told RAC1 on Tuesday.

'He has a lot of quality and he's one of the references at United.

Pogba's relationship with manager Jose Mourinho has been increasingly strained over last year

'I think he would like to be competing for more than he is at the moment. He's not a player that belongs to Barca, but he would always be welcome.'

Pogba's relationship with Jose Mourinho has become increasingly strained over the past 12 months, but a desire to join Barcelona is the key factor in his desire to leave.

The 25-year-old was handed the captain's armband by Mourinho for United's opening game of the season, and has started all four of their opening Premier League fixtures.
