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.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
