He played well and is a decent option from the left. He'll have to compete with Rashford for the role though presumably, and i'm not sure that's worth the report £400k a week.
Should he be on more than Bruno? Not a £#%&!ing chance. He should be grateful we're willing to keep him, pay him a decent wage and play him occasionally in a squad full of attacking talent. |

I reckon talk of a new contract is posturing on both sides. He’s off. If he stays it’s because no one else will pay him more than we’ve allegedly offered.
If we took him out now and out 2 proper midfielders in the squad in his place we’d win the league. I like the bloke and he’s prodigiously talented, but it’s not enough. |

No doubt he's trying to hedge his bets but I suspect he may end up staying. The 'club' (i.e. the money makers) won't want to lose such a marketable player in what is supposedly the peak of his playing career. |

I actually think we played better without him yesterday. What troubles me are his 7 assists so when he’s on his game he’s excellent or a real threat BUT when he stinks he stinks (like away at young boys)
Sure he’s off but hope we can get something for him and re-invest in the squad. Probably off to Madrid for free with Mbappe in the summer. |

The problem with Pogba is that we have never had a good enough holding midfielder to get the best out of him in central midfield in a 4-2-3-1, and it's tricky to accommodate him on the left side of a three in a 4-3-3 with Bruno in the team, as once again, we don't have a good enough holding midfielder to allow Pogba and Bruno to focus on attack.
In an ideal world, I'm sure Ole's preferred midfield system would be one with a proper number 6 holding, allowing Pogba and Bruno to play as two number 8s. I don't buy this idea that selling him will improve us, as we'd look much better investing in a proper number 6, like Rice, and then partnering Pogba with them. |

There isn’t a spot for Pogba. Bruno has it. We want a genuine wide man and goal threat on the left, which he isn’t, a proper goal threat in Bruno’s role, which he isn’t and a midfielder capable of passing the ball efficiently and doing the necessary defensive work in central midfield, which he’s proven time and time again he can’t do.
If he was on £150k a week and wasn’t demanding centre stage regardless of performance, you’d keep him, nqat, but not as top earner with all the baggage imo. |
