Midfield
One of the hardest positions to pick has got to be the midfield as both teams have a good number of talented players in this position. We can tell that by just having a look at names like Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kante, Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic, Ross Barkley, Jorginho, Fred, Mateo Kovacic among others. There’s no shortage of players that can influence proceedings from the middle of the park.
Since the team will be lining up in a three-man midfield, Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante are obvious starters. Both are quite impressive in their role, N’Golo is a powerhouse defensive midfielder and Pogba since the appointment of Ole Gunnar has been showing his potential.
The third man for this midfield is a straight battle between Ander Herrera who has also been impressive since Ole Gunnar’s appointment and Jorginho.
Herrera just edges Jorginho on this one because he offers more bite than Jorginho. He can release the forwards within a blink of an eye with his incisive passing.
