He takes all ManU’s penalties, which almost no other midfielders get to do. Massively inflates his goalscoring stats.
No one says he doesn’t stat pad for ManU in attack. He puts zero effort in tracking back and defending. Which is why so many ManU fans dislike him. He acts like a primadonna on the pitch, walks more than any mid in the PL, doesn’t give effort when his team doesn’t have the ball. This is a CM, and generally a B2B as he was at his best here, he’s not an all-time GOAT forward like Messi or Ronaldo who provides so much in attack that it outweighs them walking around doing nothing when their teams don’t have possession. As a CM he needs to give a shit in all phases of the game, and he hasn’t since leaving Juve 3.5 years ago.

Tonali is a must. Should be first priority come summer. Young, Italian, potential star who could stay here a decade. Must buy.
I tried to skip the discussion on Pogba several times but yet, the arguments create interesting questions ...
How many matches did you watch for MU ? compared to the EPL experts who they have just watched all his matches ..!!! I did 10 watched matches
Is not goal scoring a luxury for a mid ? ....mid doesn't need to score, it's a luxury if he is able to do the main due ties ..., is not ?
you downgraded goalscoring for him and skipped all other qualities ....How seriously is this ...man we don't have a player do his stats here
let's him copy what he is doing actually then scoring is an option, let attackers score !!!
last, about tracking back ? he did manytimes tracked back, maybe a match youwathced he was not doing this ...but hey, this skill can be acquired ....
please make the discussion more interesting , focus on his main abilities that we are in dare needs for them that no one can match in the world atm.
for Erikson, maybe you guys like him more , maybe his operation cost will be less more ....but if you would like to discuss something ....
my point is that, the last player i saw excelled in his position was Kaka and since then no player could really replicate that ....almost 15 years now
you know how the play in Italy, defensive .... my only doubt is he doesn't have the right traits for that ...if you willing to discuss, we can why not , and if am
wrong just tell me ...it's ok
