What exactly has happened to Ander at Man Utd? He was arguably their best midfielder last season, has he been injured or something?

Why is Van Gaal suddenly playing Januzaj now and leaving Young out the team :mindblown:

Madrid is pretty stacked in the midfield.

Modric, casemiro, illra, Lucas silva, just bought kovavic from inter, kroos and then u james, bale, isco who play more advanced roles. Madrid really needs a deep lying playmaker and I don't think pogba, realistically, fits that role
I've always felt Madrid's midfield wasn't as good as it seemed to be on paper. They seem to lack creativity at the position. They could use Pogba.

Any midfield could use pogba. He's super talented but I stand by original statement that madrid don't need him. They are stacked. Pogba is CDM. Kroos and Modric are two main CDMs at the moment with Illra casemrio, danilo and Kovavic in the fold as well. With Rafa likely to employ a two pivot midfield in a 4-2-3-1 there's just no real room for him. You would be relegating a world class talent to the bench in some capacity. Madrid's midfield issues last season were related to injuries. Modric, the magician, was injured for much of the season. Khedira also couldn't stay healthy. If u remember, Sergio Ramos, at one point, was playing DM because of the injuries and younger guys, like casemiro, being loaned out. Pogba isn't needed. I think he stays at Juve this year anyway. No way they sell him and vidal in the same transfer window.
