Oh I see, it's OK for you to joke about another team but when it's Arsenal getting gently ribbed you get the hump? Well done you.

Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba
Paul Pogba is an exceptional attacking midfielder. They are not his only qualities, but his passing between the lines, his dribbling and his skill and strength at holding off opponents are exceptional. At Juventus we saw all of those, Pogba generally picked on the left of a 4-3-3 in midfield and with the licence to push forward at will. He was majestic.

So quite why, 18 months after joining Manchester United, Mourinho is still picking Pogba as one of the two central midfielders behind an attacking four is unclear. Either he surges forward to support the attack and leaves Nemanja Matic exposed (Tottenham), or he stays deep and has his best attributes stunted by his role in the team (Newcastle). Mourinho’s obsession with (the admittedly in-form) Jesse Lingard as a No. 10 away from home means a £90m midfielder has no natural home in his team.

To make matters worse on Sunday, Pogba clearly picked up an injury in the warm-up and yet
played the first 65 minutes of the match at three-quarters of his usual pace. If he can be criticised for wanting to play on despite the knock, is a large part of management not taking the initiative in such situations?

Pogba is being misused because Mourinho got rid of Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger, doesn’t trust Ander Herrera and realises that Michael Carrick is in the final throes of his career. He is the bag of gold bullion being used to prop open the kitchen door, the masterpiece hung in an ugly plastic frame. Isn’t it at least worth trying a 4-3-3 with Herrera, Matic and Pogba?

Not really, you read it, then come on here trotting out the same bollocks. Paul Pogba is an £89m midfielder, why he can't play in a MIDFIELD system of the managers choice is beyond me. It's not as if Pogba is playing in a team with a bunch of nobodies, he's playing in a side full of top international players.

You don't get it do ya.
To play to his strengths which United to do it needs to be as the article.
It's akin to playing Busqets as an attacking midfielder and saying it's MIDFIELD innit.

Del, the 2019 ballon d'or winner really needs to up his game to justify that award.
