Live from Old Trafford, “I understand the logic against signing Pogba. But, what many people are missing is the lack of quality in our starting 11. Except Bruno & Amad, united don’t have many match winners and difference makers. we need at least a few in any top team. Pogba in top form is absolute quality. People won’t admit it, but we never really replaced the quality of Pogba.” If Pogba can be signed on a short term transfer on reasonable wages with agreeing to be a rotational option for Mainoo, It’s not much a risk

Sir Alex Ferguson Weighs in on Manchester United’s Squad and Paul Pogba’s Potential Return
Speaking live from Old Trafford, legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has openly discussed the state of the club’s current squad and the ongoing speculation regarding a potential return for Paul Pogba. His comments have sparked widespread debate among fans, as he acknowledged concerns over signing Pogba but highlighted the squad’s overall lack of top-tier talent.
“I get why people are hesitant about bringing Pogba back. However, what many overlook is the shortage of real quality in our starting lineup. Apart from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo, we don’t have many true match-winners. A top team needs several of those. When Pogba is at his best, his quality is undeniable. The truth is, we never truly replaced what he brought to the team,” Ferguson stated.
A Surprising Perspective from Ferguson
Ferguson’s remarks come as a surprise, considering his complicated history with Pogba. The French midfielder departed United as a teenager during Ferguson’s tenure, only to return in 2016 for a then-record £89 million transfer from Juventus. While Pogba had moments of brilliance at United, his time was often overshadowed by inconsistency, injuries, and off-field controversies.
Despite these challenges, Ferguson’s recent comments suggest he still sees value in Pogba’s abilities and believes he could contribute to the current United setup.
Can Pogba Fix United’s Midfield Struggles?
Manchester United’s midfield has been a major concern this season. While young talent Kobbie Mainoo has impressed and Bruno Fernandes continues to be the creative engine, the squad lacks depth and experienced options in central midfield.
With the team struggling for consistency and their top-four hopes hanging in the balance, some argue that bringing Pogba back—on a short-term deal with reasonable wages and a rotational role—could be a low-risk option.
“If Pogba is open to a short-term contract with reasonable wages and is willing to be a rotational option for Mainoo, it’s not a major gamble,” Ferguson added.
Fan Reactions: A Divided Opinion
Ferguson’s statements have ignited a storm of mixed reactions across social media. Some fans believe Pogba, when fully fit and focused, remains a world-class midfielder who could add the creativity and technical ability United currently lack.
One fan tweeted: “Fergie is right! United haven’t had a true midfield general since Pogba left. If he’s willing to accept a smaller role, I’d welcome him back.”
However, others remain skeptical due to Pogba’s injury history, past inconsistency, and potential off-field distractions.
Another fan countered: “We’ve seen this before. Pogba is talented, but United need reliability and commitment. Bringing him back would be a mistake.”
What’s Next? Will Pogba Return to Old Trafford?
At this point, there is no official offer on the table, but Ferguson’s comments could influence discussions within the club. Several factors will determine whether Pogba makes a return, including:
✅ His willingness to accept a reduced role
✅ His fitness and injury concerns
✅ United’s overall transfer plans for the summer
With Ferguson expressing a surprising openness to the idea, the debate over Pogba’s future remains ongoing. Will United take the risk, or will they look elsewhere for midfield reinforcements?
