8 caps, 1 goal
Manchester United have needed to sign a dynamic central midfielder capable of playing between both penalty boxes, and while David Moyes presumably signed Marouane Fellaini to fill this role last summer, his predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson failed to see he already had a player capable of that role on his books in Paul Pogba.
The 6’1″ midfielder left Old Trafford for Juventus in summer 2012, and immediately made an impact in the first team, earning his first Scudetto title after a fine debut season in Serie A.
In December 2013 Pogba won the Golden Boy award for the best young player in Europe, and he looks set for great success with both Juve and France in future.
