The Ballon d'Or award is given for the performances in the entire calendar year and while Paul Pogba did have a good first couple of months for Juventus, his performances started ti dip around April and he was even left on the bench for a couple of matches by France manager Didier Deschamps.

After securing his world record transfer move to Manchester United, the young and talented midfielder hasn't exactly set the world on fire, showing only glimpses of the vast potential he possesses.

Midfielders like Andres Iniesta and Kevin De Bruyne arguably had better years than the Frenchman and they would have expected a place in the top 17 ahead of the Manchester United superstar.

The above tweet best signifies Pogba’s year. While the Frenchman had a decent year and was in no way a flop, he is yet to hit his full potential and we might see the best of the Manchester United midfielder in years to come.
