Yeah seems like he's just playing him for the sake of it. Might as well be Kante there.

Lets pray Mourinho doesn't plan on playing him deep where France are today. 100mill lol
He can play deep, but as an 8. Link between midfield and attack. For France, he's playing as a 6, which restricts his best attribute, which is driving with the ball.
Sissoko has.
If we get him, I'm sure Mourinho wouldn't play him in the same role as he's played for France in this campaign. He'd be a more advanced creator, we've rarely had clips of him in those positions for this game. Once from memory, but he lost the ball after some silly step ups.
He really hasnt played well so far this tournement has he ?
Probably the biggest indication he is coming to United. Already starting to play like a total shitebag just like the rest of United players active on the euros.

He is not a #6, we are not buying him to dictate play.
Jesus guys, do some of you ever watch other football apart from Utd?. Pogba is being played as DM here and obviously told to hold back.
If we aren't buying him to dictate play, what is he there to do. He'll be playing as part of the 2 in a 4231 probably.
If Pogba step up in the last 45, will he be worth the money again?
Mourinho won't play him this deep.
And he won't be a DM at United. Can't wait to see him wearing back this shirt.
I highly doubt that.
He'll be the left sided midfielder in a 433. The most advanced midfielder. He's not a 6. He's an 8.
Think he'll be playing the same role for us, initially at least. Because we've got captain marvel super Wayne Rooney for the #10 position
Hopefully we go with a 4-3-3, if not, Carrick or Schweini will play next to him and Pogba will have the freedom to join the attack.
Also he's costing £100mil because we have had to price out Madrid to get him, plus Juve already rejected 90mil Euros from Chelsea last year.
Where do you think Rooney plays in this 4-3-3 then?
No. They are comparing him to Tom Cleverly if I remember right
Directors box.
Mourinho isn't stupid, he'll have been scouting Pogba for many months and will know exactly how best to use him. You can bet he won't be sitting deep like he is tonight.
Shhh. The quieter he is tonight, the better for us, surely?
He'll be more involved if we do sign him. We're not buying him to play the role he's playing for France. So personally I hope he's reasonably quiet. France have plenty of good attacking options. Would be nice to see Martial come on.
Ok rest lads I can give ultimate proof now Pogba is coming back to us . Watching RTE at half time in the euros final and they have totally ripped on Pogba saying he offers nothing he is lazy and highlighting every thing he does to point out how rubbish he is etc .. Trust me when RTE tear down a world class player it's only because he is a Man Utd player
Feel like Mourinho might plan to get rid of him by slowly featuring him less and less.
Mourinho has already said Rooney's not a midfielder and took a shot while doing so.
His head is obviously already in Manchester
Pogba is being held back. His offensive abilities are really not being put to use. He is a completely different player for juventus.
This is what I was talking about earlier when I said Pogba looked average for Juve when Khedira wasn't in the team. Pogba looks very average when he's given that sort of role in a team. His offensive play is what makes him a great player and he's not allowed to do that in the role he's currently playing.
Mourinho's said he doesn't see Rooney as a midfielder though. Not a 6 or even an 8. I doubt he was lying.
He is a hybrid between a #8 and a #10, attributes of a target man, technical ability as a #10 but also work defensively.
No because Mourinho has already said Rooney isn't playing as an #8.
He is not even playing like a 20M player. I am slightly worried if we are buying him for 120M. Anything above 60M is a huge risk.
His head is clearly in Manchester
Any signing is a huge risk.
Jose has specifically said Rooney is not a midfielder.
Juve isn't going to be more or less willing to sell based on a limited sample of international appearances; it makes no difference to them. It would be like us being more willing to sell Martial because he couldn't get in the squad over a playing currently under contract with a championship side.
He's been a brilliant player for Juventus since joining them and that's all they will care about, not a few games in the Euro's.

Thinking more in terms of other teams potentailly being drawn into bidding for him
That would be funny but anyway, let's stop worrying.
Pogba will play higher up in the pitch with United!
Do people really believe the 120 million price tag? Not saying its wrong but I bet the price has all come from one source and is being repeated. Even if it is that high probably at least million of that is bonuses and other clauses
Of course.
