5 potential replacements if Paul Pogba leaves Manchester United

#3 Ruben Neves (Wolverhampton Wanderers)

Neves' knowledge of English football make him a ready-made option

An exceptional young deep-lying playmaker, the 21-year-old is already being raved about in the Premier League.

He has been described as been more mature than players of his age are usually and this is seen in his style of play. A midfielder who defends like a matured centre-back would: with intelligence and an excellent reading of the game; he possesses a bouquet of skills similar to that of the best players in his position.

He has excellent long-range passing and the vision to by-pass opposition midfield with balls over the top. This would be of great benefit to Manchester United's front line and manager Mourinho front line as it would allow the attackers to play further forward.

This defensive nous coupled with his brilliant passing and ability to dictate means he would be perfect for filling the regista-role if Pogba leaves. He was the standout player in the Championship last season. Given that he joined for £15.8m and his importance to the team, he could command a pretty high transfer fee.
