The France international admits he has admired the Bayern Munich manager from afar and has not ruled out working with him at some point in his career

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has opened the door to joining Manchester City after claiming the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola could develop.

The France international has been linked with a host of European sides over the last two years, with Barcelona reportedly the favourites to sign the former Manchester United man.

But Pogba has talked up Guardiola's ability - with the Bayern Munich boss set to take over at the Etihad Stadium this summer - and would not rule out playing under him in the future.

"Guardiola has great experience and an immense philosophy of football," he told Sky Sports Deutschland.

"He is a coach who influences the squad and all the players respect him. You can only admire and try to learn something from him.

"He is an icon of football and I’ve heard he manages to improve every player he has at his disposal.

"I am a Juventus player now, but clearly the possibility of working with him in future could develop."
