#4 - Nemanja Matic

Manchester United secured the services of Nemanja Matic for around £39.75 million. The reason he is ranked so highly, is mainly because of how influential and impactful he has been, since his arrival.
The Serbian was exactly what United's midfield was in urgent need for, someone with his high work-rate to offer protection to the back-line and give Paul Pogba the freedom to make runs into advanced positions.
Matic's abilities on the ball are nothing short of world class. To put things into perspective, he averages 73 passes with a success rate of 89% which reflects his talent of dictating play from a deep-lying position.
In addition to that, Matic averages 2.8 dribbles in the English Premier League this season, which emphasizes on his skills that allow him to carry the ball forward whenever needed.
