#10 Paul Pogba
The flamboyant midfielder is famous for his skilful game, long-range shooting and vibrant hairstyles. The Manchester United man has been a jolly character on the field. Whenever the Frenchman rolls the ball in the midfield you can sense the opposition in trouble.
Pogba is capable of avoiding obstacles and picking a sharp defense splitting pass.
He was instrumental in France's World Cup triumph in Russia as Les Bleus claimed their 2nd world title but has had an on and off time at United with his on-field form being a constant topic of debate for most of his time in England.
Sir Alex might consider selling Pogba for free to Juventus as his biggest mistake as the Frenchman returned years later for a world record fee of 105 million euros.
