5 players who could decide the Manchester Derby

#1 Paul Pogba

Charismatic: Paul Pogba

We don’t know what kind of hairstyle Paul Pogba will sport. He is sure to catch the eyes of spectators with some or the other. But what we do know, is he will be itching to perform on derby day. Last time at Etihad, when he was under heavy criticism from everyone in England.

But his performance on that day, especially in the second half, scoring two goals and being the central figure for his team, shut his critics up in classic Pogba fashion. The main problem lies with his inconsistency. On one day, he can drop a 10/10 but he can be utterly poor the next day.

He is a charismatic figure in the team, always making his presence felt. If the Etihad Stadium, boos him he will turn them into inspiration for a terrific performance. His big task on Sunday will be to keep track of David Silva. He will have to work his way around Fernandinho and the City defence. But the World Cup winner is more than capable of handling things on his own.

Paul Pogba is a threat from outside the box, a very good motivator and a strong box to box player. This man has the talent to deal with things on his own, Sunday could be just another day for him. He has got three goals and three assists in his 11 Premier League appearances this season and would be a major threat while looking to add to his tally.
