Manchester United fans were treated with an exquisite news this weekend, as head coach Jose Mourinho has confirmed that United superstars in Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcos Rojo, and Paul Pogba are all set to return from their respective injuries within the coming weeks.
While Ibrahimovic’s rehab process may take some time considering the fact that the Swedish superstar hasn’t played football for seven months since rupturing his crucial ligament against Anderlecht last season, it’s the return of Paul Pogba which will significantly aid the Red Devils.
The French International has missed United’s last 12 games due to a hamstring injury, during which United’s form has taken a slight downturn. The Red Devils lacked someone who can influence the game from the centre of the park.
However, with Paul Pogba back, Jose Mourinho will once again have his primary weapon back at his disposal. In fact, the 24-year-old was back in the starting XI at the weekend against the Magpies and was on-target, to cap off a productive come-back to the first team.
Make no mistake, the presence of Paul Pogba definitely boots the overall performance of the team. Pogba has been instrumental in most of Manchester United’s attacking moments, and his glimpses of magic in midfield is often what differentiates Man United from other teams.
Furthermore, the French International is also an important cog in midfield, with his incredible dynamics and ball-circulation often helping the Red Devils to keep check of their opposition. Not only does he have the talent to dominate the opposition but his impressive figure can often be intimidating for the opposing midfielders.
The 24-year-old has the ability to move past defenders at ease, thanks to his swift movements as well as physical prowess. He is incredibly talented when it comes to influencing the game with neat through balls and precise vertical passes.
It is very easy to criticize a player with a huge price tag, and Paul Pogba has definitely suffered that a lot in the past few seasons at Old Trafford. However, his presence in the center of the pitch is just as important to Man United as it was at Juventus.
Considering the fact that Manchester United have been finally giving a tough challenge for the title this season, Paul Pogba’s return will be even more valuable, as he proved at Old Trafford recently, as the Red Devils seek to keep up with their high flying noisy neighbours in Manchester City.
