Manchester United vs Crystal Palace: 4 players who disappointed for the Red Devils | Premier League 2019/2020

#3 Paul Pogba

Pogba was dispossessed in the build-up to the winning goal

Paul Pogba is hands down the best player in Manchester United, and on his day, the French international is absolutely unplayable.

In many ways, the former Juventus man encapsulates everything that is wrong with Manchester United, as Pogba is very much as capable of exhilarating play as he is of exasperation and the problem is that you never know what to expect with him.

This season has been a similar story for the 26-year-old, as he gave an assured display in the opening game against Chelsea then went on to miss a decisive penalty against Wolves in the very next match.

Against Crystal Palace, Pogba for all of his industriousness failed to offer any real initiative, with the Palace midfielders closing him down and stopping him from influencing proceedings.

He, however, showed great strength and determination to win back possession in the buildup to Daniel James' equalizer, but rather than build on that, Pogba once again fell into bad habits.

A constant criticism of the World Cup winner's game is that he hoards possession and tries to do too much, and this much was evident when late into the game with United pushing for an equalizer, Pogba was guilty of dilly-dallying with the ball which led to him being dispossessed en route Palace grabbing their winner.
