Manchester United (5)2-2(4) AC Milan: 5 major talking points

#4 Man United look flat without Pogba

Man United’s midfield lacks creativity without Pogba

Many Manchester United fans are currently divided when it comes to Paul Pogba. The Frenchman stirred controversy some weeks ago when he openly declared that he wanted a new challenge away from Old Trafford.

As it stands, some fans want him sold but the fact is that Pogba is Man United’s best midfielder at the moment. With him, the team ticks. Without him, they are virtually flat and lack purpose in the middle.

This was evident in the game against AC Milan. While Nemanja Matic and Scott McTominay tried their best, the attacking threat that Pogba brings was lacking throughout. It is obvious that United need Pogba and the club must do everything to keep him, if they really want to compete in the league next season. Without him, the Red Devils' midfielder simply cannot function properly, because he is the only world-class midfielder in the team.
