You can\u2019t keep having what we\u2019re having every six, seven, eight weeks. He\u2019s going, he\u2019s staying, the agent comes out. Pogba is not bigger than Manchester United, no player is bigger than Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way Ole is going, you don\u2019t want any disruptions. He either knuckles down and starts performing the way he should be performing for the money he cost, or they sell him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest thing is for Man United is (Bruno) Fernandes coming in. Before that you are saying, \u2018We need Pogba in there\u2019. Now because he\u2019s been out injured and Fernandes has come in, all of a sudden, \u2018Do we need Pogba in there?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes he get in there? I know he (Solskjaer) likes (Scott) McTominay. (Nemanja) Matic has come in and started playing well. Does Pogba start every game?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Ole thinks he\u2019s not going to, he might think he can cash in and bring one or two other players in. But the saga needs to be sorted out before the start of next season because next season is a big season for Ole. A big, big season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I like the way they are going now, I like what I\u2019m seeing. I can\u2019t make judgement yet. They are not there yet where Liverpool and City are, but signs are good and that\u2019s a good thing to say because I didn\u2019t see those signs a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like what I\u2019m seeing. I like the place and I like the players they are bringing in. You\u2019ve got to give Ole time now to take them where they need to be, which is challenging for the league title.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What This Could Mean For Juventus<\/h3>\n<p>Pogba\u2019s former side <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/serie-a\/juventus\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Juventus<\/a> are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/news\/juventus-man-utd-aaron-ramsey-promise-paul-pogba-return\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">considering<\/a> bringing him back to the San Siro this summer, despite Coronavirus concerns.<\/p>\n<p>If Ince\u2019s view is also that of the Manchester United hierarchy, then the decision of whether to leave or not is likely to be Pogba\u2019s. While he has the opportunity to stay in a very promising United squad and play alongside new star man <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=507c7bdf,9227838e&amp;search=Bruno+Fernandes&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a>, Juventus are European giants, and make for a fantastic option should he want to take it.<\/p>\n<p>With Pogba, his agent, and even family members having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/paul-pogba-manchester-united-transfer-17768067\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made remarks<\/a> on this matter, it seems that leaving Manchester is the preference of the 27-year-old, so Juventus may well get their man in the summer despite experiencing monetary hardships.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"bphYuyCCSC98MNAaVp_GLA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1190723523\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'bphYuyCCSC98MNAaVp_GLA',sig:'rV-It-Kx64-rxNUf_nAr9HE5dheE_29x0vuS35ErMlk=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1190723523',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Paul Pogba situation at Manchester United is highly controversial, dividing the fanbase fairly evenly.
