Milner, the midfielder in zimmerframe and Winjaldum,

The worst duo ever in the middle of the park.

Two home games and they looked good, now they are taunted as the best midfield ?

Not even tested

Wait until mid Jan, to make articles like this one?

Its same as Liverpool fans crowning themselves as champions already..in September ?

Anyone remember Hull City few years back when they were topping the league?

How the rest of the season found them floundering!

Gap will be fixed in the next game

Just don't get concussed, looking up!

Pogba needs Kante to be great
---------------------------------------------------------
That's kind of true, he needs a quality runner next to him (Vidal was another example), but it shouldn't diminish his individual quality.

Our entire team needs Jorginho to dominate possession, doesn't take anything away from the individual quality of the players around him.

Yeah Pogba benefited from having runners alongside him in the French side too with Kante & Matuidi/Tolisso.

Fred seems like a runner but yet to establish himself.

Pogba showed at the WC how good he is/can be. If he was playing under Pep I genuinely think he would be the best player in the league.

Not in my book, but i've said that on countless other threads. He fitted in for sure. didn't stand out. 7th or 8th best player in their team imo.

I'd say only Varane, Mbappe and Kante outperformed him for France - and Kante had a nightmare in the final.

Wouldn't say nightmare but was poor.
I don't think a lot of the team were good in the final and if not for the odd decision and luck it could have been a very different game.

Varane, umtiti, kante, matuidi, mbappe, griezmann and pavard for me were better or atleast as good for me. But tomato, tomatoe.

Either way, everyone agrees he has skill and talent, but you shouldn't need 2/3/4 other class midfielders to have to harness that.

Pogba i thought was excellent for Juventus and was excellent at the world cup, for United he's been $hit but then to be bluntly honest name one United player who has actually stood out under Mourinho and been consistently good? Only De Gea but that's normal as he is the best keeper in the world.

I could not name one United player i really rate under Mourinho, they have some very good players but under Jose they all look so average, Rashford + Martial looked quality before Jose

( bar de gea obviously btw )

Would like to know how much juve you watched oscar mate? His stats are near enough exactly the same as when he was at juve as they are at utd.
