Paul Pogba

A reported dispute between Pogba and former United manager Jose Mourinho had seen the Frenchman’s influence on games reduce significantly.

However, he has hit a superb run of form under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer and has become one of the key parts of their side once again.

11 goals and nine assists in the Premier League this season help to indicate the ability that Pogba has to create from central areas.

With Saints’ pressing style under Ralph Hasenhuttl, it will be key that they get close to the 25-year-old and don’t give him the time he needs on the ball.
