Premier League 2019-20: 5 players Manchester United should sell before next season

#1 Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba has openly said he would like to play for Real Madrid one day.

This point will likely be the most controversial of them all but here goes. Paul Pogba is certainly a player who should be sold before next season begins. There is no doubting the special talent that Pogba possesses. However, for some reason, fans rarely get to witness it for the Red Devils.

The red shirt of Manchester United seems to be a curse for the Frenchman - he wasn’t good enough in the youth academy and in the first team under Ferguson, which led to his switch to Juventus. Now, history seems to be repeating itself.

Whilst Pogba is an outstanding player on his day, he is anonymous in the majority of games he plays for United. This has prompted the fans to start pointing the finger at him when things go wrong.

In five appearances for United this season, Pogba has created two assists and is yet to score. However, both these assists came on the opening day against Chelsea - since then, he’s offered very little.

For a player who cost the club £90m, one has every right to expect a lot more from him. The prospect of selling Paul Pogba is probably one which most fans would be perplexed by. The Manchester United faithfuls who regularly attend games and watch Pogba in action will likely tell you how, despite all his achievements and reputation, he isn’t all he’s made out to be.

Still, a club like Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid would quite easily break the bank to purchase Pogba. So, United don’t have much to lose and could possibly even profit from the £90m they spent on him in the first place. There are many options out there who are more adept in Pogba’s current role at United than the Frenchman.

With that money, they could invest wisely and begin to repair their midfield before it deteriorates any more.
