Good post I found today on Pogba and the problems he’s having atm. And makes sense with regards to Mourinho admitting that Central Midfield will be the key area of his transfer plans. Was from a Le Harve and massive Pogba fan who has never missed one of his games since being at Le Harve-
Football is a team sports, there isn't a single player out there who is able to do things alone, who can play every roles just because his manager asked him or because he has all the talent of the world, not even Ronaldo and Messi. Everything in football is about combinations, synergy and mutual understanding. Players need roles that suit their qualities and compliment their teammates roles. That's the problem that we have at United, that's the problem that Pogba has at United and had with France.
In the case of France that problem completely vanished when he had Lemar and one of Tolisso/Kanté next to him or when he had Lassana Diarra behind him. And the reason is fairly simple, Tolisso and Kanté are all action players with decent defensive abilities, they can play at Pogba's rhythm without problem, while Lemar and Diarra are football magnets, the game invariably goes through them, they automatically take control of the flow which allows Pogba to concentrate on his impact player abilities.
At United Pogba is supposed to control the flow of the game which isn't one of his main tools, we expose his flaws because we don't have a complimentary set of midfielders, none of them are game managers and weirdly enough even our attacking midfielders are a flawed group, all them are goalscorers none are the creative type, we don't have a Ozil, Hazard, Ribery, Iniesta, Isco, De Bruyne or whoever else, so Pogba has to do it himself which isn't his best role.
