Wonder what the plan is with him. He clearly plays better and enjoys himself on the left. Asides that, him saying playing on the left works well for the balance of the team means it's certainly been noted by the coaching staff. Problem with him on the left is we'd end up shoehorning Rashford on the right where his performance drops.Tweet

It becomes a choice of do we play Rashford on the left where he is effective then shoehorn Pogba in the double pivot where he is a defensive liability. Or do we play Pogba on the left where he is effective then shoehorn Rashford on the right where his contribution drops. Either choice would upset the balance of the team so the third choice could be to drop one of them
We've been able to rotate Pogba and Rashford with Rashford now being second choice ST and RW to Cavani and Greenwood. And Pogba second choice at LW to Rashford. Martial is returning and would be our second choice striker. If Sancho (who can play RW and LW at a high level) is a target then I think the choice has been made for Pogba to go back to playing in the double pivot and we'd find him there more often than not next season
To clarify I'm not suggesting or against making our attacking depth even stronger. I just want to know the Cafs opinion on how they can all be rotated
