Manchester United will be back amongst the big boys in Europe if they can manage to bring in Jadon Sancho and at the same time, hold onto Paul Pogba, that’s according to Rio Ferdinand.
The ex-United defender believes Paul Pogba has a choice to make in the summer but if he does decide to stick around then the Manchester United fans could be in for a treat next season.
“If I was looking at the team now and you have McTominay with Bruno [Fernandes] on one side of the three and Pogba on the other,” the ex-United man told FIVE’s Youtube channel, as quoted by Goal.
“Rashford upfront, Martial on the left, James or Sancho if they buy him on the right.
“You can’t tell me other midfielders aren’t going to be thinking, ‘if these lot are on fire today we’re going to have to be on a game, it’s going to be a hard day work for us’. There’s ability there, it’s ridiculous.
“If they can find that cohesion, the team set-up for them to flourish, it’s mouthwatering what could happen.
“It’s if, buts and maybes. We need Paul Pogba fit, we need him in that team and to see what he’s like to see if the relationship can be built with the players and the players ole is acquiring now.
“It’s up to Paul Pogba. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the powers that be at the club whether Paul Pogba stays at the football club then we see.”
Will Paul Pogba commit his future to Man United?
Man United are reportedly very close to agreeing on a deal to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund but there are all sorts of doubts over the future of Paul Pogba.
A number of clubs are interested in signing him and a number of times both him and as well as his manager has hinted at a possible exit.
So while we understand what Rio Ferdinand is trying to say but his wish might never be fulfilled since there’s all the making of a Pogba exit during the upcoming summer transfer window.
