Pogba recently gave an exclusive interview to Le Figaro, in which he confessed that he had never been satisfied during his five years at Manchester United. Compared to clubs, Pogba in the national team is playing in his favorite position, knowing his role on the field, and feeling the trust of coaches and teammates, which is not available at Manchester United.
For this remark, I believe that fans who are familiar with Pogba will not be surprised to hear it. In fact, Pogba's mental state is not perfect, he is a player who desperately needs to be trusted, just like his old friend Lukaku.
Only when he is trusted can Pogba make the most of his talents. Genius is never perfect, and how many top players who are conscientious and not affected by any outside world are besides C Ronaldo?
In recent years, the Red Devils have been in a turbulent rebuilding period, repeatedly changing coaches, repeatedly appearing new problems, manchester United seems to have not found a new path suitable for their own progress. What kind of role did Pogba play during this time?
It is no exaggeration to say that since Pogba joined, he has been the most talented player in the Red Devils. When it comes to the premier League's top midfielder, the first thing that comes to mind is De Bruyne, and the only person who can compare with De Bruyne is the mentally stable Pogba.
In fact, if he only focuses on the task on the field and plays seriously, Pogba is definitely a first-class midfielder in today's football, but unfortunately his psychological state is destined to always be affected by other off-field factors. This is also the reason why in recent years, even if he has the highest ceiling, he has not been able to become a leader and lead Manchester United through the difficulties.
However, the funny thing is that Pogba has always played a leading role in the French team, and his inspiring speech before the World Cup final undoubtedly added great confidence to his teammates, and finally the French national team won the World Cup in one fell swoop, and Pogba contributed his value on and off the field.
That's what trust does. In France, everyone is willing to believe and entrust Pogba, while in Manchester United, the coaching management is worried about the players making trouble, and the teammates all think that they should be the big brother, let alone Pogba, even if other players believe it, it is difficult to concentrate on the game.
Pogba's interview actually represents the other players who have also played for Manchester United over the years, and everyone has been in a state of confusion. If someone is willing to carry the banner to lead the team forward at this time, it is good, but the Red Devils do lack a senior and capable leadership player, which is inexplicable.
