3 Reasons why it is time for Manchester United to finally sell Paul Pogba

#1 His departure could help finance summer transfer activity

Pogba's departure could help fund the arrival of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund

This season has been an eye-opener for Manchester United. With their midfield talisman sidelined for more than half of the season, Solskjaer struggled to field a team with the consistency required to perform at the highest level.

It was a clear indication that the rebuilding exercise was far from complete at Old Trafford and that United needed more reinforcements from the transfer market. However, as the Bruno Fernandes saga clearly proved, good players cost money and world-class players cost a fortune.

This is why United need to try and ensure that they receive fair value for Pogba this summer. A proper No. 10, a striker and a right-winger are desperately needed before the start of next season, while United might also require a defensive midfielder depending on Nemanja Matic’s future.

None of them will come cheap, especially since United have targeted young and talented footballers who can form the backbone of future teams.

The money from Pogba’s sell could be reinvested in the market and that is the main reason why United should let go of the Frenchman this summer.
