Man Utd: Pogba should ‘get the hell out’ says pundit
Manchester United, despite failing to beat Everton on Sunday, are currently on a high. Bruno Fernandes has lifted the mood around Old Trafford since his January arrival and Paul Pogba reportedly can’t wait to play with him. And it will be interesting to see how the duo line up in Ole Gunnar Solksjaer’s starting XI.
Amid Fernandes’ stunning start to life at United, Pogba has almost been forgotten about.
And when you’re the club’s record signing, most-marketable star and most complete midfielder, that takes some doing.
Fernandes has flourished for United. He started solidly enough in a goalless draw with Wolves before the winter break but, since then, has upped his game considerably.
He’s racked up three goals and two assists since touching down from Sporting Lisbon, boosting the Red Devils’ hopes of a Premier League top four finish.
And nobody has been talking about Pogba. Except Graeme Souness, of course.
The France international had endured a difficult campaign at Old Trafford, with injury restricting him to just seven league appearances.

That means that Solskjaer’s side could be about to get a lot more exciting.
Pogba hasn’t exactly been a hit at United since his return - but he’s been nowhere near a flop either.
The Frenchman will bring strength, skills and slickness to a United midfield that, though it’s been plodding along, isn’t exactly beautiful on the eye.
And the prospect of him setting up goals for his new team-mate will certainly excite the club’s supporters.
Even if it’s only temporary. After all, it’s extremely likely that Pogba will be on the move when the transfer window reopens this summer.
