After the winter window closes, each Premier League team needs to submit a new team roster. In Manchester United’s new roster, new players Bruno Fernandez and Ighalo are both on the list. The former Wearing the No. 18 jersey left by former captain Ashley Young, Ighalo wore the No. 25 jersey, which belongs to another former Manchester United captain Valencia.
Of course, the name of Manchester United's number one star Pogba is also indispensable in the squad, but in fact, the French international's mind is no longer on Manchester United. According to the Manchester Evening News, Pogba has told his teammates that he hopes to leave Old Trafford this summer. This season, Pogba has only played 8 games for Manchester United and spent the rest of the time recuperating from injuries, but he is still able to dance and play basketball. Now such remarks have confirmed him to a certain extent on the charge of "fraudulent injury". Pogba's unprofessional behavior also angered his teammates who once played alongside him. Surveys show that most Manchester United players now believe that selling Pogba is the right decision. In other words, Manchester United's top star has faced the embarrassment of betrayal and separation.
What’s more important is that Solskjaer and Manchester United’s senior management, who have always supported Pogba, no longer believe that Pogba is not for sale. Solskjaer, who succeeded the fired Mourinho last season and became Manchester United's fire-fighting coach, was able to become a regular player because of Pogba's outstanding performance. He scored goals and assisted everything to carry Manchester United on his shoulders. The world The charisma of a super star is unmistakable. It is precisely because of this that Solskjaer also regards Pogba as the absolute core of his coaching of Manchester United. No matter how the outside world evaluates Pogba, in Solskjaer's eyes, he is the cornerstone of the team that can be trusted. In addition, as the club that has won the most Premier League championships, Manchester United also needs top stars to support its appearance. Now the only person in the team who has this qualification is Pogba.
But as the saying goes, "Falling flowers are destined to be merciless." Solskjaer is ambitious to build a new localized and younger Manchester United, but after all, this requires patience and time. Pogba, who is already 26 years old, simply cannot afford to wait. Because holding the Hercules Cup, he has yet to make any achievements in personal honors. If he wants to win an award like the Ballon d'Or, he must play in a team that is highly competitive in the five major leagues and even the Champions League and have outstanding performance. Obviously, today's Manchester United does not deserve such an adjective, and this is the most important reason why Pogba is determined to leave the team. As for salary, he earns a lot at Manchester United, and if he renews his contract, he will still earn more. It can be increased. After all, De Gea can get a weekly salary of 375,000 pounds. Pogba will definitely not be less than him by then, so this is not a question of money at all.
But now with the arrival of Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandez, the midfield playmaker problem that has troubled Solskjaer for a long time has been solved. Not only does he have a broad field of vision and a fatal pass in transition between offense and defense, but he also has excellent off-the-ball movement and strong scoring ability. Compared with Pogba, B Fee's yearning and love for Manchester United are more obvious. It was also witnessed in this transfer. In other words, this is a player who is willing to dedicate everything to the Red Devils. With his presence, Pogba is not so indispensable.
More importantly, Manchester United does not want to repeat the mistakes of Tottenham. In this winter window, 27-year-old Tottenham midfielder Eriksen bid farewell to White Hart Lane and joined Serie A giant Inter Milan. Tottenham only received a transfer fee of 20 million euros in this transaction. And just last summer, Tottenham chairman Levy, who was facing offers from Manchester United, Juventus, Real Madrid and other teams, even put a price tag of 100 million euros for Eriksen. But this time, Levi, who has always been shrewd, had his wishful thinking shattered by Eriksen. The summer did not go away, and the contract extension with a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds was rejected. The Dane made up his mind to leave the team for free. The panicked Tottenham were desperate to find a new home for him in this winter window, and at least earned some money. 20 million was returned, but overall, Levi paid a heavy price for his overconfidence this time. He thought he would eat the honest Erikson to death, but he didn't expect that the honest man would get angry, and the consequences would be even more serious.
The contract between Manchester United and Pogba expires in the summer of 2021, but the team has the priority to renew the contract for one year, so for now, Manchester United still has the initiative. This is much better than Tottenham being in a hurry until the contract year. Starting this summer, Manchester United still has enough time to bargain with other clubs and sell Pogba at a good price. To be honest, the team's reputation is actually given by its results. If there is a sycamore tree, a phoenix will come. If Manchester United reaches the Champions League under the leadership of B Fee and others, their attraction to superstar players will naturally increase greatly. This is a very simple truth. And a erratic Pogba, no matter how strong he is, is not Solskjaer's answer.
