Manchester United's performance in the new season has once again appeared unstable, and has already conceded 7 consecutive games in various seasons. The midfielder once became the focus of Manchester United's attention. Solskjaer has been trying to get rid of the label of a counter-attack team and build a team with the ability to control the rhythm of the game and quickly advance the attack for Manchester United.
In the first three rounds of the season, Manchester United used Pogba 's excellent performance in the left midfielder and Greenwood 's vertical offensive ability to continuously take the lead, and Pogba also took advantage of it. In August, he scored 5 assists and became Manchester United's main source of offensive output. However, with the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United's requirements for the left wing have changed. Cristiano Ronaldo has the ability to withdraw and respond. Pogba was squeezed on the left and could only pass the ball on the side. Advantages, Rashford is about to return. Rashford, who is better at speed, breakthrough, and inside cut, will be able to have a greater offensive understanding with Ronaldo.
In the midfielder position, Pogba's sense of position and lack of defensive attention have prevented Pogba from becoming a qualified midfielder, although Manchester United once needed Pogba's vertical passing ability to launch an offense. However, in the absence of Manchester United's midfielder, Pogba's role has been greatly weakened. Manchester United once relied on Matic to suppress opponents during the bench time. For example, Manchester United's 2:1 lore against West Ham came from Matic's deep squat defense and backcourt dispatch.
authoritative media such as strettynews, ESPN, Sky Sports and Romano have been following up on Pogba’s contract renewal. They generally believe that Pogba’s attitude towards Manchester United has undergone a fundamental change, especially in Ronaldo After joining. However, Strettynews believes that Pogba’s position at Manchester United is gradually becoming awkward. Manchester United needs to increase the players who create shot opportunities in the frontcourt. Sancho averaged 5.34 shots per game.Sancho's pass-cutting coordination and off-ball running efficiency are significantly higher than Pogba's. In terms of lineup compatibility, adaptability and offensive efficiency, Pogba is temporarily inferior to Sancho.
Therefore, strettynews believes that Pogba has become a tasteless player in Manchester United, especially when Manchester United needs to strengthen the core role of Ronaldo. strettynews quoted a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United is studying the possibility of introducing Casey, combined with previous media reports, Manchester United is looking for a substitute for Rice, and the requirements for the introduction of a midfielder tend to be non-English Regarding the players, strettynews believes that the possibility of Manchester United's introduction of Casey is greatly improved, and is considering using Casey to replace Pogba to become Manchester United's main force.
At present, the contract negotiations between AC Milan and Casey are at a deadlock. Casey asks for an annual salary of 8 million euros, while Milan is only willing to provide a contract of 6.5 million euros. The contract negotiations between Pogba and Manchester United are almost similar to those of Casey. Once Manchester United introduces Casey, they will get a backcourt defensive focus and fight against a tough midfielder, so that Manchester United can release the forward ability of the full-back to a certain extent, and will no longer even be afraid of being counterattacked.
Of course, the authoritative media only followed up Manchester United's intention to Casey. The specific signings have not yet been followed up by more authoritative media, and the news of whether Pogba will remain in the team has not yet been confirmed. However, I believe that Manchester United had to focus on the reinforcement of the midfielder in the case of poor performance in the last few games.
