Top registas Manchester United should target to get the best out of Paul Pogba

Manchester United v Derby County - The Emirates FA Cup Third Round

The Old Trafford faithful are yet to see the best of Pogba on a consistent basis

#4 Jorginho (SSC Napoli)

SSC Napoli v Bologna FC - Serie A

The regista supremo, Jorginho would certainly make Pogba's life easier

The pass master and regista supreme, Jorginho is a player who would be the answer to all of Manchester United’s midfield issues.

A majestic passer of the ball who is adept at recycling possession, slowing or quickening the tempo depending on what the game needs as well as being blessed with the vision to make long searching passes to the flanks or dissecting opposing defences with through passes.

He is the glue that holds the team together, the king of the pre-assist and tempo dictator for a Napoli side that plays with the verve and enthusiasm that United have been trying to muster all season.

He is no stranger to fulfilling certain defensive functions as he is a capable man marker who is able and willing to put in more than his share of tackles.

Jorginho’s presence in the centre of the Red Devils’ midfield means that Pogba will be able to occupy the left-hand side of a three-man midfield and drive forward to support the attack.

The wingers; Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez, Marcos Rashford and Jesse Lingard would also benefit from the Italian international’s vision and passing as they would be able to stretch opposing defences better with their runs in anticipation of Jorginho’s exceptional long-range passing.

He is a very crucial player for Napoli so managing director Ed Woodward may have to go as high as £60m to get him to Old Trafford.
