Manchester United spent a record breaking £87million to re-sign Paul Pogba from Serie A side Juventus in 2013.
But all has not been too rosy since the return of the Man United academy graduate, winning three trophies including the Europa League, League Cup and the Charity Shield.
The Frenchman was a subject of a speculated move out of Old Trafford after series of encounters with former manager Jose Mourinho.
First, he was stripped of being captain of the club and was also disciplined for by the Portuguese boss for criticizing his tactics.
Thereafter, the World cup winner had a training spat with his boss which degenerated into controversies about the player leaving the club in the January transfer window.
And according to reports, Mourinho thought about swapping the creative midfielder with his £110million release clause for another worldclass player.
Eventually the 25-year-old was benched for three matches including the 3-1 loss to Liverpool that got Mourinho sacked at the helm.
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer was employed as interim boss, and ever since, Pogba had flourished under the United legend.
The midfielder has been directly involved in eight goals with the Red Devils, scoring four and assisting four.
His assist that led to Marcus Rashford's goal against Tottenham is a contender for pass-of-the-season after the French launched a delicious diagonal ball to the England striker before applying a clinical finish.
