6 Potential Breakout Stars Of The 2014 FIFA World Cup
6. Paul Pogba
Tall, athletic and with a knack for the spectacular, Paul Pogba can be a dominate force for France at this year's World Cup in Brazil. Pogba made headlines in 2012 when he left the Red Devils in search of first team football at Juve. More recently the young Frenchman has accused his former club and manager Sir Alex Ferguson of showing disrespect towards him during his time at Old Trafford: "They left me out because they said I wanted to leave," he told the BBC. "That is disrespect. Maybe they didn't think they were making a mistake." The 21-year-old is currently in and out of the Juventus side and has been recently been reported to be lobbying for a move away from Serie A, with the Italian champions also said to be looking to offload the midfielder. Brazil may just be the place to showcase his vast array of talent, with Chelsea, PSG and even former club Manchester United hoping to bring in the versatile midfielder in the hope he can repeat sensational goals like the two he scored against Udinese last year.
