#7 Paul Pogba

A revitalized Pogba

Paul Pogba has effectively brought himself back into the race after the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and how! Pogba, who did not start against Manchester City, Arsenal or Liverpool under Jose Mourinho, proved just how influential he can be after showcasing some stellar back to back performances.

Though the magic of his feet can take our breath away, it's when he sticks to the basics and helps dictate the tempo of proceedings that he becomes complicit in some of the more scintillating football that we've seen Manchester United play in recent times.

Pogba scored 4 goals and registered 3 assists from a central midfield position and if that's not impressive, it's hard to figure what is.
