What are you on about? He was in the team in centre midfield when he was fit and one of mcfred sat on the bench unless it was a specific match for tactical reasons he started on the left. The only time he did not start was when he wasn't fit. But for the middle part of the season he was up there with Shaw as our best player.
Pogba was benched after we lost 10 goals in 3 games (including a lucky win against Brighton) with him playing in midfield.
vs Chelsa - started on the bench (McFred starting)
vs Arsenal - started on the left (McFred starting)
vs Everton - bench (McFred starting)
vs City - started on the left (McFred starting)
vs Leeds - bench (McFred starting)

vs Liverpool - started on the right (McFred starting)
vs Arsenal - started on the left (McFred starting)
vs Southampton - bench (McFred starting)
vs Everton - started with McTominay (got the injury)
.

.
vs Tottenham - started on the left (McFred starting)
vs Leeds - bench (McFred starting)
vs Liverpool - started on the left (McFred starting)
Based on that I would like to understand why you say "

Pogba played with Matic against lesser opponents, in almost all games against any decent opposition he was used on the wings.
What's the point of having a "world class midfielder" if you can't use him in midfield against any decent opposition?
