Paul Pogba makes fools out of his Man City markers with sublime piece of skill (Video)

Paul Pogba makes a mockery out of the old saying ‘good touch for a big man’.

The 22-year-old Juve man may tower over six foot, but he has such deft mastery of the ball and such exquisite footwork that it belies his gangly frame.

Against Man City in the Champions League he was in imperious form, showing the strength, composure and star quality that makes him one of the world’s most highly coveted players.

He was integral to the build-up play which resulted in Mario Mandzukic’s opening goal, but it was a single piece of staggering skill that had many agog in admiration.

With three City players paying him very close attention, the Frenchman produced a wonderful moment of football. His quick feet and wonderful vision were apparent as he played a marvellous backheeled pass to Paulo Dybala.

How did Man United possibly let him go?
