Top 5 central midfielders under the age of 25

Club Atletico de Madrid v SD Eibar - La Liga

#1. Paul Pogba, 24, Manchester United

Manchester United v Leicester City - Premier League
Paul Pogba

Manchester United signed Paul Pogba from Juventus for a then world-record fee of 89 million pounds and the Frenchman didn't take long to become an integral part of the Red Devils. The fact that United haven't lost a Premier League game with him in the team tells about how important he is to them.

This season, when Pogba was injured, the Red Devils missed him sorely. A Manchester United team with Paul Pogba in playing 11 is distinctly better than one without him.

The Frenchman's ability to pick passes at the right time, coupled with his unique dribbling style, makes him a crucial part of Mourinho's team. He is an industrious midfielder capable of providing perfect link between attack and defense. Under Mourinho, he has provided United with the perfect link between their deep defenders and attackers. He is also has great defensive work rate and is very good at tackling by making full use of his immense physical strength.

Manchester United will hope Pogba stays at Old Trafford for years to come and justifies the amount that was paid for him by helping them win titles once again.
