5 Manchester United players to watch out for in Euro 2020

#2 Paul Pogba (Manchester United Midfielder, France)

One could argue that Paul Pogba has not shown half of what he is capable of in Manchester United colors, as much as he has when stepping out for his national team. The 28-year-old is a different animal for Les Bleus and was one of the driving forces behind Didier Deschamps' men triumphing at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Another mediocre season at Old Trafford, combined with the disappointment of having lost out on Europa glory, will have Pogba hungry for success at the Euros, a combination that could be deadly for all opposition in his path.

The central midfielder is equally capable of dictating the tempo of the game from deep in midfield while also stepping up and delivering laser-guided through balls for the forwards.

He started Les Blues' latest international, a 3-0 dismantling of Gareth Bale's Wales side on Thursday. France are understandably one of the hot favorites to take the crown at Euro 2020, with a dizzying array of talent at their disposal.

Les Blues (FIFA Rank 2) are placed in Group F, dubbed the Group of Death. They are pitted against continental heavyweights Germany (Rank 12), defending Euro champions Portugal (Rank 5) as well as Peter Gulasci's Hungary.

The world champions start off their tournament against Germany at the Allianz Arena in Munich in what promises to be the biggest matchup of Match Day 1. Kickoff is set for Wednesday, the 16th of June at 12:30 AM IST.
