Pogba will play a key role in the derby

Paul Pogba has all the reasons to grab attention from his highest transfer fee move to his World Cup-winning campaign.

He will be again looking to make the headlines in the derby on Sunday. Pobga will be pivotal to United's success against their bitter rivals, as he has been in fine form in recent weeks.

He will be looking to repeat his heroics of last derby match when he inspired a comeback from in the second half. Pobga scored two goals and almost created the winning goal by Chris Smalling.

The French international has now scored five goals and provided four assists for the Red Devils in all the competitions. Now he will be looking forward to bettering his tally against the noisy neighbours.

Pogba can not only create chances with his playmaking abilities but can also score some screamers himself.

He is a perfect box-to-box midfielder which can trouble the City side with his pace and skills with the ball.

The World Cup winner will look to play the ball to Martial, Rashford and Sanchez in behind the defence and look to threaten the back line with his passing.

Later on with the introduction of Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard, he may get more opportunity in the attacking zone.
