However, since joining United, he has split opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody (often including Pogba) seems to know where he is best suited: holding, central or behind the striker. Last season, he hit double figures for goals and assists for United in a campaign still rife with criticism. However, the numbers don&#8217;t lie.<\/p>\n<p>Solskjaer has put a lot of faith in Pogba and will be keen to keep him ahead of the 2019\/20 season. It appears more and more likely that he will be playing his football in Manchester next season. Whether he is at his best is a different matter.<\/p>\n<p><script>(function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(d.getElementById(id))return;js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src='https:\/\/embed.playbuzz.com\/sdk.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}(document,'script','playbuzz-sdk'));<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"playbuzz\" data-id=\"66c974de-b77b-4864-9922-f0029ea5359e\" data-show-info=\"false\" data-show-share=\"false\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger says their style of play is the reason behind Paul Pogba&#8217;s unrest and says he should be allowed to leave.
