Midfielder Paul Pogba is at a crossroads in his career, searching for a new club. Former forward Louis Saha believes he knows exactly where his compatriot should head next.
Details: Saha thinks that with Manchester United's current midfield issues, Pogba could be an asset to the team. He attributes United’s previous decision to let Pogba go to underlying problems within the club—issues he feels should now be behind them.
Quote: "I’d like to see him back at Manchester United because, looking at their midfield, they’ve lost Scott McTominay, and that’s a blow; he was making valuable contributions to the team. When you reflect on past managers and try to understand what went wrong, you see mistakes were made. Letting Pogba go was a sign that there were challenges within Manchester United that weren’t being handled well.
This issue wasn’t unique to Erik ten Hag—many talented players have struggled to adapt at the club. We saw it with Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, and even Marcus Rashford. All of this needs to stop, and we hope that the players they sign moving forward can perform as they’re supposed to," Saha said in an interview with Paddy Power.
Reminder: After completing his suspension, Pogba is expected to leave Juventus, with Marseille being one of the potential destinations for the French international.
