I would even dare say that his signing from Juventus has dragged the United team backwards. Simply because of the insane €105 million transfer tag, it was always assumed that he was the most important element in the squad, the one big-name player recruited to orchestrate the midfield, the superstar, and the future of United around whom the team would be built. Looking beyond him was unthinkable.
Four years later, we have realised that lots of money has been put down the drain, and the central midfield still looks as bad as it was during Moysey’s days.
Pogba has been worse than Sanchez in terms of financial and long-term developmental complications at United.
