Integral to their current six-match winning sreak, Manchester United dropped only two points in six December outings with Paul Pogba at the heart of their midfield.

The Frenchman took his 2016/17 goal tally to four with two strikes in six December appearances, including a winning goal at home against Middlesbrough to complete a 60-second turnaround from 1-0 down.

Pogba also weighed in with two assists over the course of the month, including creating Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s 88th-minute winner at Crystal Palace with a defence-splitting through-ball. 

"He has an unbelievable shot, he can head the ball, he can combine and create," Ander Herrera told manutd.com after his team-mate's man-of-the-match display at Selhurst Park on 14 December.

"We know Paul is a top player who can make a difference. He can change the game in a second.”

You can vote for Pogba as your EA SPORTS Player for December in the poll above, which closes at 23.59 GMT, 9 January.
