Best players in the Premier League: Top 10 Central Midfielders this season

#4 Paul Pogba (France, Manchester United)

Manchester United v Cardiff City - Premier League

Pogba is the highest scoring central midfielder in the Premier League this season, finding the net 13 times in the Premier League this season. The Frenchman has also registered 9 assists as well and has enjoyed one of his most fruitful seasons in the Premier League so far. He had 34 starts in the Premier League this season and came off the bench on one more occasion.

The Frenchman has been the creator in chief for Manchester United this season. Caught in the midst of a managerial turmoil in the middle of the season, Pogba had cut a sorry figure during the last phase of Mourinho's reign.

Solskjaer's arrival, though, broke the shackles and the Frenchman played some of his best football in the first three months of Solskjaer's reign. Even though he looked jaded at the later stages of the season, he still has been one of the best midfielders in the league this season.

Pogba has averaged 3 shots and 1.6 key passes per game in the league this season. He has completed 1.7 successful dribbles per game and has been fouled twice in every game on an average. He has averaged 59 passes per game, has registered 15 through balls and has created 7 big chances.

He has hit the woodwork thrice and has also missed 7 big chances. He has 165 accurate long balls to his name. Contrary to the popular notion, Pogba has run hard on the pitch and has covered 9.96 km per game on an average.

The Manchester United midfielder is the 4th best central midfielder in the 2018/19 season.
