Paul Pogba has been criticised a lot for his exuberant lifestyle but is now proving his doubters wrong by putting in exceptional work each game.

The 26-year old has transformed into the league's best midfielder since the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjær, where the Frenchman has scored 15 goals and contributed 10 assists this season in the Premier League.

The 6'3'' midfielder has great dribbling, bags of pace and can pick out long-range passes from midfield. He has an average of 1.5 dribbles per game.

The World Cup 2018 winner has so far had 1.7 aerial duels and 1 tackle per game.

He averages 2.5 shots and 1.5 key passes per game. It goes to show his willingness to score for the team. He also holds a strong influence for everyone else in the locker room.

The midfielder is justifying why he's considered one of the best midfielders in the world with his performances on the pitch.
