Till a year ago, he was known as the man who left to Juventus after a feud with Sir Alex. Today he is known as one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe. The transition wasn’t easy or smooth by any stretch of imagination. After failing to see enough first-team football at Old Trafford, he sealed a move to Turin, where not many expected him to rise to this level. Breaking into a midfield containing Vidal, Marchisio and Andrea Pirlo is by no means an easy task.
But Pogba did and managed more than 30 appearances for the Old Lady. He showed flashes of his brilliance against Bologna, where he scored the winning goal and against Napoli. He has what it takes to perform at the highest level, but Ferguson never saw it. For a defensive midfielder, he has a high scoring rate and has already scored a goal for France in just three appearances.
He is already a world-class player and there is room for further improvement. With a year to go, he is sure to cement his spot in the Les Bleus line-up. The 2014 World Cup may be the place where he shows the world his ability and class.
