I don’t understand why you are so convinced by Pogba yet so unsure of Eriksen. Eriksen has outperformed Pogba by every conceivable metric since Pogba came back to the Premier League in 2016. Eriksen will also (probably) cost less money and demand less wages.
9 times out of 10 when Manure play against a good team with a good midfield, Pogba is marked out of the game. You can’t blame that entirely on Mourinho.
2015 Pogba was simply amazing for us
Now he supposed to be a more complete player and he showed his maturity for France - This makes me think he will definitely succeed here + he has things we really need in his skills set...
He is strong physically which means more strength to our midfield
He is quite fast (not Ronaldo fast but he is fast enough)
He is a really good dribbler
He has shown numerous times that he has a great vision
The only downside is that sometimes he insists on making the tough things instead of just making it simple but since we are much better than Man Utd and we have Allegri - I`m sure it can be controlled to the minimum..
Eriksen is a different player
He isnt that strong physically
He works different than Pogba as Pogba works on his skills and great talent while Eriksen is more about using the brain (by this he reminds me of Pjanic)
To say Eriksen isnt a top player is ridiculous but I think Pogba is more of what we currently need.
I wont be disappointed if we get Eriksen although if we do it would probably be instead of Pjanic and then I see no real progress as I dont think Eriksen is better than Pjanic..
