Paul Pogba is the most popular player in the Premier League, according to the number of shirt sales.
Manchester United coughed up £89million this summer to land the France international and it seems the move is already paying dividends as shirts with his name and number on the back are more popular than any other star’s in the land.
Fellow summer arrival Zlatan Ibrahimovic sits second in the rankings, which is particularly good news for United officials as they didn’t pay a transfer fee to land him.
Arsenal duo Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil are both selling pretty well in third and fourth, while Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho completes the top five.
David De Gea and Marcus Rashford both make the top 10 in sixth and tenth respectively with Liverpool’s Sadio Mane, West Ham’s Dimitri Payet and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard in between them.
United are the most dominant side in the country in terms of shirt sales and have four players in the top 10.
Rashford’s rise to the top 10 is particularly incredible given he only made his debut in February. Here’s the full list…
