The Frenchman has refuted claims that the Argentine superstar and the Portuguese talisman are greedy players, suggesting that their ability helps their teams score goals and win games.
"If Messi scores, does that make him selfish?" Pogba asked during an interview with La Repubblica.
"No, being strong lets you help the team. Take Cristiano Ronaldo. He sets himself some incredibly high objectives, he's ambitious, he wants to beat every record, and he wants the Ballon d'Or. That's not selfishness.
"Sometimes I play well, and sometimes I don't. That's why I get angry. I hate making mistakes.
