World's most expensive XI

Midfielder: Paul Pogba

The eccentric Frenchman has certainly brought a spark to the United side.

Transfer: Juventus to Manchester United.

Transfer fee: € 105 million

While the world may ridicule the red half of Manchester for spending upwards of 100 million euros to buy back their academy player, one simply can't deny the dominating presence that Pogba brings to any team. Recently crowned as a world champion, Pogba silenced his critics by putting up a world-class performance at the World Cup.

The 25-year-old was a Manchester United youth academy product before failing to impress the then-manager and legend, Sir Alex Ferguson. A move to Juventus changed fortunes for the young man who lit up the world with his dominating display.

Four glittering years at the Old Lady prompted a red-faced United board to re-sign their former player, albeit for an exorbitant € 105 million. While Pogba has certainly made an impact at some big matches for United (vs Manchester City last season), he is still to show the explosive form that prompted United to buy him.
