7) Paul Pogba (Manchester United) – €134.3m
Trending
Paul Pogba’s transfer back to Manchester United is proof that the club have moved past Sir Alex Ferguson’s philosophy and got out of his shadow. The Scottish manager did not want anything to do with the player (and more so his agent) and Juventus were only too glad to sign him up.
The €100m cheque was obviously inflated and it was never the player’s fault. Despite early criticism, Pogba soon adapted to the game in England and became one of the best midfield players in the league even though he didn’t have a great supporting cast around him save for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The French midfielder put in a shift and was also the first player to complete 1,000 passes in the opposition half in the league this season. He was instrumental in United’s League Cup and Europa League triumphs with telling contributions throughout the season – especially in the Europa League final where he scored the opener.
With a contract util 2021 and Jose Mourinho at the helm, expect Pogba to stay at the club for a while and possibly dominating the Premier League.
