3 reasons why Paul Pogba is the best midfielder in the world currently

#1 He’s the most complete midfielder in the world

Pogba can plays across all positions in midfield

Football in the last decade has transformed and so has the positional play of many footballers. These days, it is very rare to find a player who can play across all the positions in midfield and still churn out world-class performances.

But if there is one footballer who ticks all those brackets, it is definitely Paul Pogba. During the 2018 World Cup, he demonstrated that he could be used in a more defensive role and still excel at it.

And, on Monday against Chelsea in the FA Cup, the 25-year-old once again proved why he is the most complete midfield player in the world with his performance. Having created the first goal – displacing Cesar Azpilicueta before crossing the ball for Ander Herrera to head home – Pogba ran across to put Man United 2-0 up with a towering header of his own.

The pass to Marcus Rashford, the run across from midfield into the Chelsea box, and the ability to beat both David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger in the air to head the ball into the net was the perfect demonstration of Pogba’s completeness. He currently has no co-equal in his position.
