'Alli more valuable than Pogba

Dele Alli is currently worth more to Tottenham than Paul Pogba is to Manchester United.

That is the view of Peter Beagrie, who had tipped then-MK Dons midfielder Alli for international honours in his role as Sky Sports' resident EFL expert.
Spurs paid MK Dons just £5m for Alli in February 2015, while Manchester United forked out a world-record £93.25m to bring Pogba back to Old Trafford in the summer.

Their Premier League stats for the season are similar, Alli scoring three times to Pogba's two, but France boss Didier Deschamps this week suggested Pogba should rein in his individualism.
And as the two midfielders prepare to face each other live on Super Sunday, Beagrie told Premier League Daily he would rather have the England man in his side.
 
"On current form it's Alli every day of the week," he said. "I watched him at MK Dons and saw his maturity.
"He's terrific playing behind the striker, he's got the mobility and football intelligence to run beyond the striker and can also drift into wide positions. He loses no opportunity to shoot at goal, and he's got loads of self-belief.


"There's no doubt Pogba on his day is absolutely outstanding, but on current form and value to his team it's got to be Dele Alli."
Suggestions that Jose Mourinho is still searching for his best midfield combination are "bang on", according to Beagrie, who reckons United might have their hands full dealing with their visitors' "dynamism" this weekend.

He added: "As far as athletic ability goes, I look at the Spurs midfield and think it's far and above more athletic. There's more dynamism, craft and creativity.
"I think Tottenham score very, very heavily in the midfield department whereas United are still uncertain."
