#3 The Curious Case of Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba’s return to Manchester United was met with mixed reactions from the Red Devils faithful. And a few of years on, it is safe to say that nothing much has changed. The Frenchman has had a number of haircuts during his time at Old Trafford, but he has failed to recreate the form that made United shell out a then world-record fee for him on a consistent basis. What is even more frustrating from a fan’s perspective is that there have been times where Pogba has looked disinterested in playing for the club.

Regardless of his questionable attitude though, Solskjaer and his predecessors have always shown immense faith in him and with good reason. All said and done, Pogba is undisputedly United’s most complete player and he does make a tangible difference to the team. However, much like Manchester United’s form this season, Pogba needs to find his best form on a consistent basis. The 26-year-old showed glimpses of what he is capable of on his return from injury against Watford and hopefully, Solskjaer can help him build on that cameo performance for the rest of the season.
