If you are only 23 years old and have already won 4 league titles and is reckoned by the likes of CR7, then it’s pretty obvious that you are a top, top talent. Paul Pogba is exactly that, and the French midfielder, who has been tipped to make it really big for quite some time now, is going to be in a tug of war between Manchester United and Barcelona in this summer transfer window. The Cules want him as a replacement for the ever classy but ageing Andres Iniesta, while the Red Devils want the Serie A beast to sort out all the midfield problems the club has been facing over the years.

Player Profile:

Paul Pogba, in theItalian Serie A, has scored eight goals this season, creating 54 chances and12 assists. He has completed 1399 passes this season with a pass accuracy of 83%,of which 71% were forward passes. With a shot accuracy of 37% and an average pass length of 17 m, the youngster is best suited as a box to box midfielder, but in reality, he can slot in anywhere in the centre of the park. Gifted with an exceptional vision and an even better technique, he can change a game on his own as he has done so many times for Juventus already.

Need of the hour:

Pogba won’t come cheap, infact, he is likely to cost nearly 100 million pounds. But he is going to be worth every penny, as he is one of those rare breed of goalscoring midfielders who can not only control the tempo of the game but also flip it in an instance. Besides the fact that he was a United academy graduate who was released in 2012 for his attitudinal problems makes him look like a real loss now. With Jose Mourinho keen on rebuilding the midfield, I think Ed Woodward should go to Turin and just get the lad at any cost.
