I personally think we should be a better team with him but it's also fair, in my mind, to think it's very possible we could sell him and replace him with someone not as 'good' individually but who makes us better overall.This is not fanboy stuff. I just think that we are far better team with Pogba and that he would be hard to replace.
If we will win PL with Jones and Lingard in midfield then great.
Ole's midfield system is two defensive CMs, ball winners and then ball carriers when needed with Bruno free in front of them. Pogba can't fit into that CM role (probably to the detriment of our style of play but this isn't an Ole In/out thread) and Bruno is better in this setup than him, hence why he's been in this weird LW slot. Essentially he can't dislodge the three first choice CMs and since Rashford's form nosedived LW is up for grabs and we slotted him in there. Bear in mind if we had a really good LW, Pogba might well just have been benched for most of this year.
If you asked me would I want Pogba in my team in general, than yes of course I would but in this team, specifically this tactical setup, he has struggled since forever for consistency.
