If Jose needs any player most, then it is Paul Pogba. The Frenchman left Juventus for his second stint with The Red Devils at a world record transfer fee, and this raised the bar of expectation.

Pogba could not replicate the form he showed at Juventus in his first campaign at Old Trafford, but the manager kept faith in him to deliver in future. Like Martial, he positively started the second season, but soon inconsistency crept in, and reports emerged of a fallout with the manager.

Jose knows better than anyone that Pogba is the most creative player he has at United. He can create chances, score goals, and also do defensive duties when needed. Few players have been good this season, and Paul is one of them. He might not be scoring many goals, but his distribution and assists have been good.

The World Cup winner has the potential to be a leader, but he needs to show more of it on the pitch, and help his manager out of this tricky situation.
