Nemanja Matic

Jose Mourinho bought Nemanja Matic to win the title. The Serbian’s reunion with his former manager has paid dividends so far and he doesn’t look like slowing down anytime soon.

Matic bosses the midfield. A true center defensive midfielder, he sprays the ball around the field while shielding the back-line.

He didn’t have the glamor of Romelu Lukaku, but Matic plays just as big of a role in the team. When Pogba was fully fit, they helped create a midfield that was destroying every team that they faced.

Manchester United faithful are surely counting down the days until the duo can be reunited in the middle of the pitch once again.
