Top Contenders for the Manchester United Player of the Year: March 2019

#1 Paul Pogba

Crystal Palace v Manchester United - Premier League

The Frenchman shows no signs of stopping and February marked another fruitful month for him. Pogba started all of the 6 games and apart from the PSG match, he managed to dictate the midfield with ease. His passing range and ability to pick out a teammate helped United out of quite a few tricky situations last month and he has definitely been one of the club's best players of late.

Pogba started the month by setting up Rashford with an exceptional ball from deep against Leicester City. The Englishman scored the only goal of the game to help United earn 3 vital points. After enduring an ill-fated night against PSG - where he was sent off - Pogba inspired United to a fabulous win over Chelsea in the FA Cup. He set up Herrera for the first goal and then scored the second one himself as United progressed to the quarter-finals of the domestic cup competition.

The Frenchman followed it up with a brace against Fulham as United comfortably won 3-0. He had a restrained game against Liverpool as United were crippled with injuries, but in the midweek against Crystal Palace, Pogba was key to another fantastic win. Teamed with two inexperienced partners in midfield, Pogba guided United through by taking responsibility; he even managed to set Ashley Young up to score the third goal of the game.

The Frenchman has 14 goals and 11 assists from 34 games so far this season and at the start of March, he is the number 1 contender for the Manchester United Player of the Season Award.
