But the player you're about to break the world transfer record for isn't suited to that system.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Why exactly?
Are we going to need to wait until Pogba returns from holiday?
This saga is turning into War and Peace...
Because what makes him special is his ability to freely run forward with and without the ball, his ability to be a threat in the last third.
Edit: Pogba would work in a 4231 with Sneijder/Kroos as a #10 and someone like Krychowiak next to him. Not with Rooney and Schneiderlin at least not from the get-go.
Because with France it didn't work out clearly. Pogba needs a free role to move forward and be creative. Others have to cover for him defensively. If Rooney takes that role, Pogba is going to be restrained and thus it will result in the same fiasco as with France.
Mourinho's first Chelsea side was a 4-3-3 with Lampard as the most advanced midfielder. That would be the perfect role for Pogba in my opinion.
If Rooney is out then.
Hopefully it won't take too long for Jose to realise
Well its not a formation which is a problem then. Hopefully he will be an AM and not Rooney.
Although I think he could play as a box to box cm with a holding mid behind.
4-2-3-1 can be easily transformed in 4-3-3 anyway.
The thing is that we are talking about Pogba within our current roster, in the absolute Pogba can play the role played by Pirlo, he did really well for Juvenuts and Conte in that role.
Im seriously done with Rooney and the club if we try to play a system to shoehorn Rooney in there. I'm hoping we go 4-3-3 with Carrick, Schneiderlin and Pogba in the middle which I think will suit all 3 players.
This signing increasingly sounds like one being done for marketing reasons rather than football reasons.
Yeah totally, he's absolute rubbish at the game itself, but he sure is a hunk, he's got me swooning already.
No it's not. Mourinho is a big fan of Pogba he even tried to get him when he was at Chelsea. Pogba is the 4th player Mourinho was talking about.
How many games has Pogba played as a number 10?
Do you not think he'd improve us?
You are relentless. If you don't like him, fair enough and he has a lot to prove. But the signing is also done because of what kind of a footballer he is and he could become.
Surely paying £100 million for a player's marketing potential would be a false economy? Mind you, the same could be said about giving him away for nothing then paying £100 million to get him back!
You absolute melt
It's a beautiful marriage. Pogba's abilities + potential is enough on its own. Together, however, it becomes a beast!
It's obviously both. Why do you think he's so expensive? If we just wanted a player we could have signed Troy Deeney for about half.
You talk absolute rubbish quite frankly and have done throughout this thread.
Mourinho doesn't give a toss about how marketable he is; he wants him to be the driving force of our midfield.
Torino should pay a % of the fee so that he move away from Italy. 3 goals and 2 assists in 3 games against them, hopefully he'll decide our derbies in the same fashion
Yeah its not like he's better than all our current midfielders
Listen to yourself.
He's a Wum if ever there was one, ignore don't bite
This threads run out of steam a bit hasn't it?
Calm before the storm.
For someone who doesn't care much about Pogba sure posts a lot in this thread. You're starting to sound like someone from RAWK/Bluemoon.
[La Stampa] Raiola: Pogba will arrive at Manchester next week and complete his signing
Raiola has announced should be next week.
“Next week we can seal the deal,” he told La Stampa.

Both our central midfielders were allowed to go forward during our preseason games so far. The idea of central midfielders for Jose is very different than what LVG thinks of them. Pogba can play in a midfield 2, the only way he fails is if he's given a rigid role which limits his ability to go forward and run with the ball.
It's always "next week" or "next few days". I know it's gonna happen, but it's like Pogba wants to miss the start of the season or something.
@Rory 7 defintely has an axe to grind.
Pogba would start for nearly every team in the world. He will improve our midfield without a shadow of a doubt.
Signing £25m midfielders and hoping they can step up isn't going to win us the big trophies. Jose wants winners in the team, not plod-a-long Joe Allen types.
Do you want to be the next Liverpool or the next Real Madrid?
