#1 Paul Pogba
Paul Pogba left Le Havre to join Manchester United’s youth academy in 2009 and was scheduled to make first team appearances by 2011. However, he didn’t play as many games as he would like to under Sir Alex Ferguson and made the decision to leave for Juventus for just £800,000 in 2012.
Since then, Pogba has become one of the brightest talents in the world of football. His creativity and talent as a midfielder made him one of the most sought after clubs and by the end of Euro 2016, it was anyone’s guess which top dog club would land the Frenchman.
At the end of well-recorded and highly publicised transfer negotiations, Pogba made the choice to re-join his former club Manchester United. He signed a five-year contract for £89.3 million breaking all previous transfer fee records. After keeping fans on tenterhooks, the move was complete and Pogba was welcomed back with much fanfare.
He has already started two of United’s games in the league and even though he hasn’t scored or made any assists, he has already started proving his worth as a midfield player.
