Top 10 future Ballon d’Or candidates after the Messi-Ronaldo era

#6 Paul Pogba (24 – Manchester United, France)

Pogba is arguably the best midfielder around in terms of ability

Since his world record transfer back to Manchester United, Paul Pogba’s every move has been viewed under a microscope. Many pundits have ridiculed the extravagant amount of money involved in the move. But, let’s not forget that there are few other players in world football as complete as the mercurial Frenchman.

Pogba can pass, dribble, shoot, run and defend with equal proficiency and there is simply no other footballer in the world who can match him in all these areas. Hence it is clear that there is an abundance of talent and it all depends on how Jose Mourinho and Manchester United wish to use him.

Being the part of a young and exciting French side, there would be no shortage of chances to win international trophies too. The fact that he is still only 24 and can improve even further is a scary prospect for teams around the world.
