Footballer supporters love the topic of discussing overrated players, whether it be for their own team or for those representing their rivals.
I decided to pose the question on Twitter, asking who the Premier League’s most over-hyped individual is currently.
It was no great surprise to see some Manchester United players feature prominently – here’s a look at the best reactions on Twitter.
Pogba. No player is consistently average on the pitch like he is and flashes of brilliance are few and far between. His social media following and the media in general portray him as a highly skilled player who's in the wrong place but ultimately it's his fault he's below par.

Rashford. Another Walcott….. not a striker, or winger… Just average

It’s hard to argue with the names who appear so often, not least Paul Pogba.
The Frenchman possesses world class ability, but it’s quite staggering how often he flatters to deceive.
The likes of Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford are not as good as many would have you believe, with English media bias helping enhance their reputation.
Dele Alli also falls into that category, having failed to kick on after such a promising start to life at Tottenham.
Who do you think the Premier League’s most overrated is? Let us know on Twitter: @ReadLiverpoolFC.
