#2 Paul Pogba
Long before taking over as the interim manager of Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had remarked in an interview that if he ever had the chance, he would build a team around Paul Pogba.

The Norwegian had presided over a teenage Pogba at close quarters, when he was in charge of the Reserves Team at Manchester United more than a decade ago. As such, Solskjaer was aware of Pogba's qualities and the Frenchman has now repaid his manager's belief in him.
Pogba was the creative heart of the United midfield as usual in January, threading those long passes, finding his teammates and breaking down the opposition defenses. However, it is his goal scoring form that made him one of the most dangerous midfielders in the Premier League.
The Frenchman found the net 4 times in the new year from 7 games in all competitions. He also picked up 2 assists. Whenever United needed inspiration, Pogba stood up and took charge. He was crucial in the wins over Spurs and Leicester, setting up Marcus Rashford with inch-perfect long balls that tore the opposition defense.
The Frenchman now has 13 goals and 9 assists from 30 games so far this season, and at the start of February is 2nd in the race to the Manchester United Player of the Year Award.
