Paul Pogba of Manchester United, just passed up a major
opportunity for a place in the FIFPro World XI by just two votes.
This came when world football governing body FIFA revealed
the top 11 players in every position from 2016, at their best award ceremony
last Monday, with no premier league player able to make the group, which had up
to 9 players in Real Madrid and Barcelona
Though Pogba was reported to have verged on joining Luka
Modric and Andres Iniesta in the top midfield three, which in turn passed up a
major opportunity to Toni Kroos by just two votes
Pogba verged on joining Luka Modric and Andres Iniesta in
the top pick midfield three, passing up the littlest edge for a player not
being chosen ever.
FIFA stated: “The closest call was the third midfield
position, with Kroos narrowly beating Pogba by two votes. “It is the smallest
margin ever in the 12-year World XI history to decide on inclusion in the World
XI.”
