100% this (and also a bit of: Damn we ran Bruno into the ground, it'd be great to have another top #10 to rotate him with).I don't think he will get much of a chance to be honest. The signing totally baffled me from day 1. I think we must have thought Pogba was going and Van de Beek was to replace him. It's a real shame for the player. I don't think Ole is completely to blame, I think Donny and his agent should have looked closer at the situation. He made a bad move, it's ruined his career for the moment. He can recover from it, but not here. He's had a bad set back here. He has to take a step back and move on and rebuild his confidence and his career somewhere else. There's blame on both sides, it just looks a bad fit and a bad move overall.
Until/unless Pogba leaves United Donny is going to be warming the bench. Again, I'm pretty sure United thought Pogba would go this summer. Look at the poster on Old Trafford. It seems to show every player except Pogba. That was United pretty much preparing for him not to be around and I'm sure they think he won't sign a new deal.
However, while Pogba is here he will be used because he's better than Donny. And since Donny, Pogba and Bruno is far too open for most games, Donny is going to be the one who misses out. Cos Ole will always want a bit of bite alongside Pogba when he's playing centrally and, unless he's very different in training, Donny ain't that.
