PFA Premier League Team of the Year: Is Pogba worthy of a place?

PFA Premier League Team of the Year: Is Pogba worthy of a place?

Paul Pogba's inclusion in the Professional Footballers' Association's (PFA) Premier League Team of the Year has certainly raised some eyebrows following Thursday's announcement. The World Cup winner has had a strange season for Manchester United, finding himself in and out of the team, then enjoying a resurgence before again suffering from inconsistency. Under Jose Mourinho, Pogba's underwhelming form saw him dropped, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's arrival as manager brought about an undeniable improvement in the midfielder, who played a key part as United clawed their way back into top-four contention. In total, the midfielder has netted 13 times and provided nine assists in the Premier League, an applaudable haul, but a record of seven penalties distorts the goals figure somewhat and recent performances have again seen him scrutinised. Pogba was especially poor in the 4-0 hammering by Everton on Sunday and 2-0 Manchester derby defeat on Wednesday, though his unimpressive form stretches back much further as he has scored just twice – both being spot-kicks – and set up no goals in his past 10 matches across all competitions. So, how does Pogba compare to other midfielders statistically? Is he really among the Premier League's best? https://twitter.com/PFA/status/1121322958851641345       [Sportskeeda]
