Wallade:


Like you said, Bruno is the real deal. He is the real bargain this season. We don't need him to defend but for his attacking capacity.

He does a lot of assists
Shoots from outside box 18; left, right and center
Decent dribbling runs

I value him a lot ohhhhh.

Seconded on the bolded above but...

What do u av to say abt the defensive role in the midfield? Who will cover for him? Pls dnt call Matic, he is nt good enough in that role. Too slow to be a DMF

chinchonglee:

Yeah...very offensive. U can check his stats.

Imagine a midfielder scoring dat amount of goals a season(last season) but if we re go for him we would a good defensive midfielder not someone like matic ooo... Matic is jst too slow for my liking..

Plus, why did we allow herrera to leave Woodward needs to be sacked.

lol, na their problem dey so, an Herrera gone and you aren't adding creativity to the midfield.

We can manage matic, abi na pack bus we wan con do.

City would have debrune, silva, bernando in midfield working magic we would be packing bus

Ọgá as a real Madrid fan, we gree, no worry we broke for now, we no fit afford you. Virus oshi, who wants you before if not for Zidane. Ọgá dey your dey make we dey our dey... @madridguy how far?

Looool... What did u notice abt d man city midfielders They re very fast, no slow man dere. All re tactical. Dats what we nid in the midfield not McTominay and Matic. I would even prefer Andreas to pair with Bruno fernandes than dose two snail nd tortoise.

Paul Pogba fears he could be priced out of a dream move to the Bernabeu – with Real Madrid facing a staggering £270million bill to sign him from
Manchester United.

Madrid fear United will demand at least £150m for the 26 year-old World Cup winner who cost them £89m when he signed from Juventus three years ago.

On top of that Madrid will have to stump up £500,000-a-week in wages for the midfielder adding up to an eye-watering £26million-a-year.

With Pogba wanting at least a four year-contract, that amounts to a whopping £104million in wages over the term of his contract.

Pogba's controversial agent Mino Raiola is believed to be demanding at least 10 per cent of any fee between the clubs for brokering the deal - putting another £15million on the bill.

That adds up to a total package of £270million – a sum that has stopped Madrid in their tracks.

Bernabeu President Florentino Perez doesn't want to commit that amount of cash on Pogba – especially with Zinedine Zidane's future not totally assured.

Reports circulating in Spain suggest Perez would happily appoint Jose Mourinho if Madrid decide to part company with Zidane, who lost a pre-season friendly to rivals Atletico Madrid 7-3 in America recently.

If that is indeed Madrid's plan, it would kill any approach for Pogba who was called a “virus” by Mourinho during his time at Old Trafford.

Pogba missed United's final warm-up game of the season against AC Milan at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Saturday with the club claiming he had a slight injury.

But it is believed Pogba is getting twitchy with time running out before the English transfer window slams shut on Thursday.

United could still offload Pogba until the end of August to a foreign buyer – but United want a replacement by Thursday if Madrid are serious about making a move.

My is Pogba making so much noise. He is over rated. Instead of Pogba, they should go for Samuel Chukwueze.

If Man Utd defence is very reliable, it gives the midfielders and attackers courage to press.

In the good old days, Paul Once, Nicky Butt, Roy Keane and Carrick all operated in the central defensive midfielder role but we all know Carrick was not spectacular at defending but excellent at those passes.

We don't have a natural Defensive Midfielder at the moment but I believe that is better taken by Pogba and McTominay.

1-4-2-3-1
1 - Dea Gea
4 - Wanbissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw
2 - McTominay, Pogba
3 - Bruno, Dybala, Marshal
1 - Rashford

OR

1-4-1-2-1-2 7(Diamond Midfield Formation)
1 - Dea Gea
4 - Wanbissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw
1 - McTominay or Pogba
2 - Bruno, James
1 - Dybala
2 - Rashford, Martial

Given that we get Dybala and Fernandez. Any of the two above will be suitable. Manzukic can also provide a good cover for the young Rashford and Martial whenever they don't come to the party on the pitch.

I love dat first formation(pls leave dat idiotic pogba out of it) but i still prefer Andreas over McTominay. The former proves to be tactical dan the later. Pogba's mind is no longer with us, so if u put him in a DMF role u would see how stupid he is. Not dat he cant play dere ooo but his pride is bigger dan d role.

Yes, I agree with you on Pogba becoming a risk and under-performer soon in Man Utd hence, having him shield the defence may be a mistake but a good look at the team members shows he is the most suitable man for that job.

It suits his style, he likes to hold onto to the ball and do some spectacular passes over the heads into the attack zone and also on the ground passes.

McTominay is a special talent for me, Mourinho made no mistake about him. He is another guy that can grow into that role. He is exhibiting the ability already.

Andreas Pariera can only be creative in the midfield, he can never be a good defensive midfielder. If we risk him in that role, he will pick up so many yellow cards and possibly reds; he will make disasterous blunders.

Unfortunately, we have to wait till next window transfer to shop for a reliable Defensive Midfielder.

lilbest4:
Lol. Perez is too smart to waste any amount close to that on a player not named Mbappe or Neymar

Neymar na player? Abeg don't mention that Prima Donna again

Morning bros, i dey gallant bros. Sincerely i just dey vex for Perez for his stupid act. Allowing CR7 to walk away is the biggest blunder of the decade. He can continue to waste money.

Pogba never said anything like this.... Mirror. Co. Uk is a gossip site they make up news... I ve follow Manchester United long enough. Every season they prove they re not to be trusted with thr transfer news... Don't believe them now or anytime

That one dey, but we should have outgrown the exit of CR7 and focus on our young stars. Mistake has been made, we should move ahead. Pogba is not the future for me, he should not waste any funds on him. Good morning

tojahh:


And you don't know videos can be doctored? A person might not even be on a video clip yet you will see him talking. Bro.... We have gone digital.

That's another angle,obviously. My point is Paul Pogba did not say any such thing. Period

Ultimatezlant:
How I wish we can get rid of him, now he is going to be double useless since his mind isn't even with man utd.


Let us finalize a deal for dybala and eriksen already na.

Remember young needs replacing o plus we need a good striker and another player to pair maguire

How many players do you want in one window then?
What happen to Lindelof, why can't he patner Maguire?
If dybala deal goes through, we'll have Rashford, martial, Sanchez, Lingard, dybala, Greenwood as forward options.
Which striker do we need again?

Wallade:


Have you been watching Real Madrid lately with Hazard on the pitch?

when has hazard not been fat at pre-season?

madrid5:
when has hazard not been fat at pre-season?

It is not just about his weight, his runs and dribbles are missing.

I also think Real Madrid is trying to play him as a centre forward attacker which never worked at Chelsea FC so I wonder about the reason they wanna pair him with Benzema.

Ifexontop:
Who did this to pogba

It was his Village and town people

yes but his abilities are associated with his weight and with recent trainings they are reducing,so this preseason na just gym to hazard.
Nope we two good strikers in jovic and banzema.

Dude we have quantity not quality.

Sanchez and lingard are garbage especially in huge games of class, martial is inconsistent, rashford has shown he can't handle a top striker role on permanent basics plus off and on in the wing.


We No get defence apart from shaw, young is crap, lindelof is the only central we can manage but what of injury nkor.


Na dirty full man u, and season hasn't started where fatigue, injuries and playing quality teams comes in na den you go see say man u die

Swiftlee:
I don't want to know what you think but this is pride! I have always seen this guy as a proud player. We have many players who are far and way better than Pogba yet humble. Pogba is over hyped!

i wish he would just go..my only annoyance is that we didn't retain Ander Herrera.now that's one player who was willing to bleed for the shirt

if only we had Ander Herrera

you see what over Hyping can do to a player.pogba is an average player that why clubs are finding it hard to cough out that amount of money

Oga, if Madrid were to buy Pogba 2day, his value will supersede that of Hahard by far. What do u mean by overhype? A player that cost more than 130M in value is overhype? Is Hazard overhyped? How much was he bought? Do you think they will buy Pogba less than what they paid for Hazard

We don't want him, lets buy christain erikson instead. We don't want someone who will cause disarray in the dressing room.

Erikson is old abeg? Moreover, tottenham will sell Ericson to Man Utd with Levi at the helm of affairs That is the joke of a century.....

Pogba and hazard are mate in football, hazard fees was cheap bcuz he only has a year remaining in contract
