Mans be acting like Pogba hasnt done anything. I dont know too many poeple who wouldnt like this cv:

Nevertheless, Pogba has won the Europa League - scoring in the final against Ajax - and Carabao Cup during his second stint with the Red Devils, as well as earning a place in the PFA's Premier League Team of the Year on one occasion.

Pogba is also a world champion, having played a key role in France's 2018 World Cup triumph in Russia. The midfielder always seems to thrive when representing his country and tasted success at youth level when Les Bleus won the Under-20 World Cup in 2013, a tournament in which he won the Golden Ball. Before winning the World Cup in 2018, Pogba was also named Best Young Player at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

By 2020, then, Pogba had won a total of 11 medals at senior level for club and country.

Pogba is the last of Man U's issues. at the same time he isn't the first or last world class player that has played with below par players around him lol.

He has underperformed ,and goes missing more times than not. And team prizes don't tell u how good you are as an individual player:mjlol: that is just an excuse to defend players. Any top talent can look great around other great players. is when ur surrounded by mostly average players and u till find a way for u to shine and help the team win games. Players like totti, Stevie G etc have managed to play in average squads for most of their careers and still manage to pull the team and themselves to great wins.

It’s much harder for a midfielder to showcase their skills being hampered by terrible tactics then a forward or a defender. :martin:

totti and Stevie played as attacking midfielders. Totti sometimes as a striker. Different positions...come on man

Nah, both forwards and midfielders breh. Imagine Ancelotti played Inzaghi like a Vardy.

Gerrard didnt get moved to AM/#10 full time till Mascherano got there. Prior to that Houllier and Benitez played him CM and RM.

Question here.

Frank Rijkaard, now I'm not Mr Tactics and all that. But how was he never able to get at least 1 other bigish club manager job again after Barca?
