Star-studded XI Paul Pogba has played with most at Man Utd and Juventus including Pirlo, Buffon and Lingard – The Sun

PAUL POGBA may well divide opinions but there is no doubt he has played alongside some of the best players in the world.

After coming through the academy at Manchester United, he left for Juventus in 2012.

The 27-year-old enjoyed four successful years in Turin, winning four Serie A titles and two Coppa Italias before returning to Old Trafford in a £89million British-record transfer in 2016 – although he continues to be linked with moves away.

This season has been a struggle as ankle injuries have limited him to just eight appearances, the last of which came against Newcastle on Boxing Day.

Now Manchester United have put together an XI based on the players Pogba has lined up alongside the most.

There may be some who miss out despite playing more games – such as Andrea Barzagli (113) and Chris Smalling (94) – but the XI is comprised to form an actual team.

Cristiano Ronaldo's XI featured eight Real Madrid players and three from his time at Manchester United while Lionel Messi's – of course – is made up entirely of Barcelona heroes past and present.

So now it is time to reveal Paul Pogba's ultimate XI…

GK – Gianluigi Buffon

While Pogba was trying to create going forwards in all four of his title-winning seasons with Juventus, Buffon was doing the business at the back.

The legendary stopper, whose career started way back in 1995, has played 667 times for the Juve with 156 of those coming with Pogba also on the field – David De Gea is actually seventh on the list with 121 but must settle for a place on the bench.
