Genk Midfielder Ndidi Is A Better Tackler Than Manchester United Superstar Paul Pogba

Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi has the best tackle success rate in the UEFA Europa League this season.

According to the statisticians at whoscored.com, the versatile Racing Genk midfielder has won 56 tackles and interceptions in the competition, more than any other player.

Ndidi screened the Racing Genk defense in group games against Rapid Vienna (2), Sassuolo and Athletic Bilbao (2), and the goalkeeper conceded nine goals in total in the five matches he was involved.

The Nath Boys product is also doing a great job offensively, netting two goals out of eleven the Belgian side have scored in the Europa League.

Based on the Europa League ratings only, Ndidi is a better tackler than Paul Pogba (Manchester United), Daniele De Rossi (AS Roma), Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg (Southampton) and Mehmet Topal (Fenerbahce).
