Paul Pogba has hinted France's system is getting the best out of him as he prepares for the World Cup final.

France take on Croatia on Sunday as they bid to win their first World Cup in 20 years.

Pogba has had an impressive tournament and was excellent again in a deeper role in the semi-final victory over Belgium.

He faced criticism for his performances for Manchester United last term and has explained the differences in playing for his country.

"This is not the same team, this is the French team, the other is Manchester. It's not the same system, I'm not doing the same thing," he said.

"Of course the relationship with Mourinho and Deschamps is not the same, they are two different people.

"I always listen to what they say to me, whether it's Mourinho or Deschamps. Both help me improve, I’m learning from both coaches."

Pogba and his teammates trained on Thursday ahead of Sunday's showpiece final and he hailed Kylian Mbappe, who is in line for the Golden Ball award.

On the PSG star, Pogba said: "He says he wants to win titles. He's not being pretentious; he wants to do it. He'll do everything to do it, he has the talent to do it.

"He's going to learn, he's going to grow, he's young, he'll get more experience, he's already ahead for his age but he'll keep working, I talk to him, I give him advice, but that's his talent.

"He's mature enough, he's very mature for his age to understand, he understands things I didn't when I was his age. So it's only good things for him."
