Top 5 Goal Scoring Midfielders in the Premier League this season

#2 Paul Pogba

Manchester United v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League

Goals Scored - 8

Ever since Solskjaer took over at Old Trafford, Paul Pogba has found his swagger back. He is now dictating games and asserting his influence on the pitch. He has scored 5 goals and picked up 4 assists in the 6 games under Solskjaer and has been one of the best players in the league in recent times.

Pogba has been impressive for Manchester United in the past as well, but the one thing that has been missing was the goals. This season though, the Frenchman has already hit 10 goals from 26 games in all competitions, which includes 8 from 20 games in the Premier League. It is the first time that he has touched double figures for Manchester United and with a lot more games to play in the season, one can expect Paul Pogba to reach even higher figures.

The Frenchman has thrived under Solskjaer's attacking tactics and has the 4th most shots in the league. Only Mohamed Salah has registered more shots on target than Pogba; the Egyptian has 38 shots on target to the Frenchman's 37! It is clear that Pogba is ultra motivated to become the best goal scoring midfielder in the league by the end of the season and he is not too far from the top right now.
