1. #Pogback
The world’s most expensive player made his second debut for Manchester United, after two bookings in the Coppa Italia stopped him from appearing at Bournemouth. Pogba’s transfer fee is exceptionally high, given that he doesn’t score goals with the frequency of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Luis Suarez, but that shouldn’t detract from the fact that he is a very complete footballer.
He certainly didn’t look like an £89 million player inside the first 20 seconds, when United fans’ delirious cheers were cut short as he miscontrolled to allow Southampton a break away.
