I've said all year, but I've been fully behind any Galactico we've been linked with as Rooney needs to be replaced off the field before we contemplate doing it on the pitch.
The way the game is today, it is almost understandable. Getting rid of one of he most marketable footballers in the world is not something done lightly, especially when the image of the club may have been under attack.
If we get the Pogba deal over the line, we have a new face, and importantly, an adidas sponsored one that we can maximise. Nike and other brands often have many contractual clauses that restrict certain usage of image. If I recall correctly, Beckham was not allowed to be in a Nike/United photo with less than 3 players. No solo promos of the kit. Shaw, Blind, Mata and Jones were the only guys doing all of the promo for our adidas kit last year, with Rooney, our most marketable, excluded.
With Pogba, adidas will be living it, he'll be front and centre in everything.
