Steven Gerrard has hailed Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba and stated that, as a Liverpool fan, the potential of the French ace quite simply scares him.
United splashed out £89million to bring Pogba back to Old Trafford in the summer, after a four-year sojourn at Juventus, with whom he won Serie A in every one of his Italian campaigns.
Pogba had something of a slow start to life back in Manchester, but has flourished in recent weeks, culminating in a terrific headed winner against Middlesbrough on Saturday, as United fought back from behind with two late goals.
The Frenchman, 23, will again be in the United lineup for the trip to West Ham on Monday, as Jose Mourinho's men look to continue their recent run of form.
And Gerrard believes that "phenomenal" Pogba is truly back on song.

Speaking to BT Sport, Gerrard said: "I think he's got better and stronger week by week. He's obviously a phenomenal talent.
"I think coming with that big price tag early on has weighed him down a bit and Manchester United weren't in the rhythm but I think now they've found his best position.

"I think [Michael] Carrick complements him so well and now we're seeing the Paul Pogba that we all expected to see and he's only going to get better and better.
"He's young, he's leggy, he's got all the tools in the bag and there's no doubt about it he's one of the best midfielders now and he's going to get better which is a scary thought being a Liverpool fan!"
