Roberto Pereyra

The attacking midfielder kicked-off his campaign and talky of goals with a brilliant first time volley off the corner, sealing his name for the best goal of the premier league. The player who struggled in the last season, scoring meagre 5 goals in 34 appearances has opened his cards and shown everyone what he has in his legs.

Paul Pogba

PogBoom the last time fans experienced this feeling was in the World cup final against Croatia when the French midfielder finished the ball into the left corner to seal the match for France. He did score the spot-kick but what fans are expecting is a powerful strike outside the box, something the striker is known for and capable too.

Maybe the time has come! The striker has to boost up his spirit and rise through the occasion when the team needs him the most. Apart from the team, he has to deliver for the fans who have been upset on him after his recent interview in which he translucenced his stay in United after the winter and said,” My future is currently in Manchester. I still have a contract. I’m playing there at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the next few months?”

The team and fans have shown full support to the esteemed midfielder, team giving the responsibility of captain. Now is the time Pogba to show your talent and win the game for the Red devils.

One side will be Pereyra pushing from the left flank and on the other will be agile, strong and hefty Paul to save the shots with his body or to score a brace with his feet. A test of two strong midfielders who will be looking to outdo one another. Not to forget, Pereyra is in sublime form and Pogba is always a threat even if inconsistent.

Lot to be said until the end of the game.
