The former Manchester United defender believes the France international is not on the same level as the Chelsea man in terms of breaking up play in a holding midfield role Ex-Manchester United defender Paul Parker has questioned where Paul Pogba will fit in at Old Trafford, arguing John Obi Mikel is a better holding midfielder than the France star. Pogba recently became the world's most expensive player when moving to United from Serie A champions Juventus for £93.8m on a five-year deal. The 23-year-old is set to make his first appearance for United since leaving them in 2012 against Southampton in the Premier League on Friday, but it remains to be seen which position he will operate in. Pogba was used as an anchoring midfielder for France at Euro 2016 but Parker does not believe he is good enough in the role. “Can he be as good as Roy Keane or Bryan Robson? I wonder about him playing that midfield role,” said Parker, speaking exclusively to 888Sport. “I worry about him making tackles and getting across to close players down because he is rangy. He doesn’t have quick feet and his game is about going to ground. That’s going to be a problem. Source: [url="http://www.africancupofnations.com]African Cup of Nations[/url] |

I already know that. In a holding position, Mikel is a better player. But outside that position, Pogba is very good. But Utd are so silly to pay that mch for Pogba. I can't wait to watch Kante Vs Pogba in holding position. Kante will embarrass him. |

Mourinho will be smiling presently. How he successfully transformed a player who should have developed the technically genius he flashed occasionally when given the opportunity to by now. But Mourinho saw something else. Off Topic: I think Mikel should have been at par with the likes of Messi, Ronaldo et al, technical-wise. He would have transcended the sport. I so much believed in his technically abilities, which he still flashes. |

Holding midfield??....IMO Pogba is better cos Mikel doesn't hold ball for long...he always passes it. |
