Hello football lovers, I would love us to settle this argument of who the better defensive midfielder is between Arsenal’s Thomas Partey and Manchester United’s Paul Pogba.
The both players have made a very impressive impact in both their club and national teams. Having great influence and creativity at the middle of the park whenever they play.
While Thomas Partey Plays for the Ghanaian national team, Paul Pogba was among the players who won the FIFA World Cup with the French national team in 2018.
Most Arsenal fans feel Partey is the better of the two, whereas full-blood Manchester United fans believe they have the better footballer in Paul Pogba.
