Hypothetical question...

[pocco]

but what happens if Pogba gets injured this season? Where do we finish if he misses, say, 2-3 months?

The thought scares me right now. I would like to think the club consider things like this.

No worries, we'll get Scholes to put on his boots for a few months.

 

[Catt]

Should we have also a thread about what happens if he stays fit for the whole season?

 

[2 man midfield]

He went missing for about the same last season, and he wasn't even injured.

Matic - McTominay - Fred

I've never seen a more 10th place looking midfield in my life. Christ we are really in trouble - and I'm usually quite optimistic about United. I've never been more concerned with the state of our midfield.

Not all clubs can equate for injuries to their best players, what would Liverpool do with an injury to Van Dijk? Then there are other clubs like City who can loose De Bruyne and barely notice. Just an unfortunate consequence of being where we are at the moment in that we're building a team not trying to maintain one

Agree with that but I really do think the club should have bought someone for midfield. Very concerned about Matic.

It's ok lads, Pereira and Lingard instill the traditions of the club and the Class of 92. That is enough.

 

[Offside]

It's pretty sad that we are so over-reliant on a player who is extremely inconsistent and unreliable himself.

Having to rely on Pogba when he really don't want to be here is madness. I believe we should have brought in 2 midfielders as was seemingly the plan from the start.

What we'd do for a 'zombie midfield' in Carrick and Cleverley right now

Please elaborate on the bold part? I'm eager to know because the only mid we've been credibly linked with this summer is Sean Longstaff.
