New role for Pogba

Manchester United have the Champions League positions at their fingertips. Come to this final stretch of the season with renewed energy and the hope that Paul Pogba, who has not played an official match since before the transfer market opened, is again the team leader.

But the problem, if you can call it that, will have Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now is that you have Bruno Fernandes in addition to the French player, something he already talked about a few weeks ago: “Good players can always play together, so yes, Paul and Bruno can. We will find a good connection between them.” The Portuguese midfielder signed to cover a possible loss of Pogba, always on the starting ramp, although with less and less interest from his bidders. Selling it is not an option even if the arrival of new signings depends on it and the truth is that the Norwegian coach is surprised by the work done since the reinstatement of the staff's training.

And having both available on the roster, Solskjaer must move one out of position. Presumably it was the Portuguese who would move, since changing the team star seemed less feasible, but it will be Pogba who takes a new role. And the tactic seems clear. Daily Mail ensures that Pogba will serve as ten and will be placed behind the forward to provide the last pass to the attackers and by the way to have more arrival and shooting, while Bruno Fernandes, who records spectacular numbers since he landed in England, will be the most delayed midfielder of both.

The French midfielder has already played there on several occasions, both in Manchester United and in the national team. FranceAlthough he has never done it regularly. Now, Solskjaer, backed by the opinion of many, will give him continuity to gain offensive power and achieve the goal of the season. In any case, he still has not been able to test them properly, since the friendly they had scheduled against him. Stoke City was canceled because the rival coach, Michael O'Neill, tested positive for coronavirus, which is why the visiting squad went home before stepping on the pitch. There will be time to continue experimenting with the new eleven when the Premier League.
