7 Goals, 4 Assists – Three Reasons Why Manchester United Must Sign This Midfield Beast

No you haven’t read the title wrong. I was deliberately gazing away when this idea struck me, lets take a time machine which would take us two months forward in the Transfer Deadline day, all over major tabloids: “Manchester United seal astonishing deal  for Paul Pogba from Juventus.” Yes it’s a fantasy world but who on Earth doesn’t love to dream?

The 20-year-old, who signed for United from French side Le Havre, was offered a new contract at Old Trafford, but the player opted to turn it down in order to further his career elsewhere. Claimed Pogba  (Daily Mail): “I didn’t want to sign a contract as Ferguson didn’t play me, even though there were no midfielders there. He obviously thought I didn’t deserve the contract I asked for, and didn’t put me in the team even though he had no midfield players. It was his choice. United were short of players like me, but it was the manager’s decision. I couldn’t do anything about it. I was frustrated because he spoke to me a few times and said I was nearly there. I told him ‘If I don’t play then I can’t get any experience and see how far I have to go’. I played a few cup games but he didn’t want to give me a contract and they just let me go.”

Without further demand more speculating thoughts from our readers, here we present few reasons for which Moyes and co must splash the cash for the Juventus Youngster.

1. Pogba’s style of Play:

What United have really lacked this season is their aerial ability and threat from pieces, one which is clearly underlined by Van Persie’s looping header to rise highest and get the win against Premier League leader Arsenal. What Pogba, the French International brings with him is his aeriel ability who wins most of his duels in the air. Moreover Pogba is brilliant from scoring through long ranges as puts his laces behind the ball. The obvious part of a future link up with Micheal Carrick in the middle of the park will ultimately help United in the long run.

2. Pogba’s creativity and dynamism on the ball:

A player who loves to dribble and is brilliant at spotting his mates’ run whether on the flanks or defenders overlapping, Pogba is someone who is sublime at picking runs. Moreover he has an indirect set piece strength, something which United and especially Moyes would love to have which unlocking the toughest of games by the scruff of their neck.

3. In form player

Pogba is having a great season with Juventus, already scoring 7 times this season in all competitions. He have 4 assists too. The Frenchman is one of the world’s best midfield maestros and his dynamic playing style and dazzling displays in the middle of the park is beyond his years of experience. He loves to play the ball on the ground showing nimble feet having the skill to get out of tight and precarious situations  when needed. At Juventus and specially under Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 formation, he has reveled from a unpolished diamond to a real gem who has made the Football Fraternity stand up and take notice of him.

So will Moyes splash the cash for Pogba? Surely our Time Machine will give an apt answer come in a month and a half’s time.
