Manchester United v Villarreal CF: Group F - UEFA Champions League

Paul Pogba is one of the most creative footballers on the planet. Everything he does ably on the football pitch, he does with flair. But there are a few glaring shortcomings to his game and losing possession in key areas when playing as a central midfielder is prominent among them.

On his day, the Frenchman is nearly unplayable. The Manchester United midfielder can slalom past players with his quick feet and trickery and can also play some mesmerizing passes. Pogba's passing range is nothing short of incredible.

Given space and time on the ball, Pogba can find his teammates anywhere on the pitch with precision. He is yet another player who uses the outside of his foot and the inside to equal effect. He can thread neat little through passes to his forwards just as well as he can feed a bullet-like diagonal to one of the wingers.

#2 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
