The embarrassing stat Pogba won't want you to see


The Frenchman has finally found his feet at Old Trafford after a slow start, but leads the way in terms of unsuccessful touches in the English top tier.

Manchester United's Paul Pogba has conceded possession 50 times through poor touches this season - more than any other Premier League player.



The France international returned to Old Trafford having spent four years with Serie A giants Juventus, winning four successive Scudettos, and struggled to live up to the world-record transfer fee paid by the Red Devils in August.

Only goalkeeper David De Gea has played more minutes than the 23-year-old in the Premier League for United this season, while the Frenchman has also made six appearances in the Europa League so far.

Jose Mourinho's reliance on the commanding midfielder has seen him settle into the Portuguese's side and Pogba was key in United's 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on Wednesday, scoring one and assisting the other.
