Meh, the more interesting question would be why we bought him in the first place. Number of possible scenarios:
1. Bought as backup for Bruno. Unfortunately now it's clear Pogba can't play in midfield so he VdB has found himself in difficult situation. Most likely.
2. Strategic move if Pogba leaves. Makes most sense.
3. Ole thought he is a midfielder and can be a cover for Fred/McTominay, but now he only sees him as attacking player. Unlikely as would be an amateur move. But would explain why we're using him so rarely.
Having 3 players per one position is OK, but we should've focused on getting AT LEAST one winger.
