DM Paul Pogba

Pogba is one of the best midfielders in the world and is amorphous in his midfield roles, he can play deep, box-to-box or attacking. He’s the best in a deeper midfield position, with someone behind him like Henderson would be in this fictitious team.

He’s scored one goal this season, a header against Leicester City, and most United fans are expecting a larger output because of his price tag. It’s worth remembering, though, that he’s never scored more than eight league goals in any given campaign.
