4 World Class Players at Manchester United who should be the backbone of future teams

#3 Paul Pogba

Manchester United v Newcastle United - Premier League

United have one of the most talented midfielders in the world, a man who can turn a game on his own. Pogba is perhaps guilty of not trying hard enough in many games, but his talent is unquestionable. With the right players around him, the Frenchman can dictate the tempo of the match unlike anyone. The biggest example of that has been the 2018 FIFA World Cup, where, with a workhorse like Kante alongside him, Pogba was efficient, clinical and the creative outlet of the team.

The problem with the Frenchman is that because of his physique, people often expect him to be an enforcer in the midfield. Paul Pogba is not an enforcer, he is anything but. While he can tackle, and can also use his body strength well, Pogba works best when he looks ahead and drives forward. He has all the attributes that you would want at the heart of the midfield, ability to hold the ball, quick feet, fantastic skills on the ball and a range of passing that could place him among the midfield greats at United.

When you think of a team build around the Pogba, that plays to his strengths and allows him to assert his influence around, you know that with the right ingredients, it can be a team that can challenge for trophies in England and in Europe. Manchester United, as such, have the key to a strong future in their ranks already. The Old Trafford outfit just needs to use him better and help him flourish.
