Sometimes it is unfair to judge midfield players using statistics of goals and assists. This is because the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta were all great on the field but their numbers spoke the opposite.

It is, therefore, to the credit of Paul Pogba that he is a complete package. The former Juventus star does not just dominate games; he is also blessed with all-around ability on the field. Currently, no central midfielder in Europe’s top five leagues has been involved in more goals than the Frenchman.

Pogba has scored 14 goals in 32 games in all competitions this season, with 11 of those goals coming in the Premier League alone. The Manchester United no.6 also has 10 assists to his name.

In all, Pogba has had a hand in 24 goals in just 32 games this season. These are astronomical numbers that only a word class player can conjure, and they put Pogba ahead of any other midfielder in the world.
