#4 Paul Pogba (Manchester United)

Pogba seems to be in fine touch this summer

One can argue that Paul Pogba deserved to be higher in this list and while it is true, Pogba is yet to flourish his best in the Premier League. Pogba is an incredible midfielder with loads of tricks and abilities under his belt. The former Juventus man seems to have struggled to reach his best at Manchester United. It is not that he has been poor but with a player of his abilities, he can be very effectively destructive.

He scored 6 goals last season and assisted in 10 others. His most useful contribution came in the Manchester derby in the second half of the season against Manchester City where his brace helped United make a comeback and register a 3-2 win. Such matches have shown glimpses of what Pogba is capable of and also his performances in the 2018 World Cup showed how he can be mature and classy at the same time.

If Pogba can get it all together at United, the Red Devils have to be seriously taken as one of the strong candidates to win the Premier League this season.
