I see, well I agree then. Pogba too deep makes him liable because his game is about high risk/high reward.I’m mostly speaking under the assumption we’re talking about him deeper in midfield, in the PL especially he just doesn’t do things quick enough to play there.
I’ve liked him on the left when he’s played there for us, he was outstanding when he played consistently last season. Though I would always prefer Rashford there, which will likely mostly be the case now Sancho is coming for RW. So that now presents a problem, where does Poggers play? No.10? Nope, whatever you want to say about him recently, Bruno has that locked and is better than Pogba there(for us/our system).
He’s an outstanding player who I’d be happy to keep to play in advanced positions, but I wouldn’t cry over him leaving if it meant we replaced him with a top class CDM/CM who CAN be amazing in the double pivot(or a good enough CDM to allow us to play a single pivot with two either side)
I dunno much about how United play but unless you guys switch to a 433 with Pogba on the left and Bruno on the right of the inverted triangle then I dont see how you can get the max out of him.
You're probably right that it might be a better trade off to let him leave and get a 8 that is excellent in a double pivot. I would say that Pogba in a double pivot could work if the 6 with him is exclusively defense minded. That way there's always somebody in the midfield behind him. But otherwise I dont see it.
