One of the main reason why our defense was 3rd best in the league last season because there are protection in front of them. Fred & Scott were so hard working midfielder who cover lot of grounds and follow opposition player's run which important because football is about movement and creating space, there will be times when our defense will be dragged out of position means midfield need to follow runners to help. IMO, against top opposition team, Fred & Scott are our best pair to compliment our current defense.
However, against outside top 6 teams, I probably prefer Fred & Donny pair. Donny will provide more in goals threat as he likes to arrive in the box late and much more creativity than Scott.
As for Pogba, well I don't like the idea to give him new improve wages for the sake of extend his contract for many years for obvious reason and it's time to move on which benefit both player & the club. Thus, I think we should adjust ourselves not to rely on him more in starting XI. I like him as impact sub to change the game though.
Scott/Donny - Fred
