Absolutely, but if not where do you play him. In a 4-2-3-1 he is not really suited to any of the attacking spots, off a striker he would slow the game down too much and his finishing is poor, and a wider role is a non starter. A 4-3-3 is basically committing to building around Pogba and his attacking contribution, 2 midfielders to babysit him and he as the main creative force. Even in that role, against good teams, he can not avoid defensive responsibility. It might be the role that gets the most out of him, but does it fit what the team need, difficult balancing act.
Just needs to grow up, France have the same problem with him, finding a role for him that does not compromise other areas. Too talented to not try though.
