“I always say to my players to go where they are more necessary, Man United will always be one of the greatest clubs in the world, even without the Champions League”.

“I know he [Mourinho] is happy with the four players he’s bought but they still need that type of player”.
He added that United “didn’t buy a Lionel Messi to go and beat five players and stick it in the top corner all the time”, and he advised Pogba to play to his strengths.
Paul Merson has warned Manchester United that Manchester City look on course to win the Premier League title this season after their derby triumph last weekend. He’s got skill, he can pass it forward, he can run’.
Following on from Paul Pogba’s poor showing against Feyenoord in the Europa League on Thursday night – the ex-United midfielder had his say on the Frenchman. Pereyra is a great player, he runs from side to side, has great qualities and was the player I wanted.
World-record signing Pogba – expected to start as United attempt to avoid a third consecutive defeat when they travel to Watford on Sunday – played the full 90 minutes of a 1-0 loss in Rotterdam. He needs a controlling midfielder next to him and Michael has got that. “They bought a powerful, strong midfield player”. ‘He’s got so much pace, so much power’.
The United legend said he believes 35-year-old Michael Carrick could do the job, while he also criticised Morgan Schneiderlin for failing to protect his teammate this evening, before saying Mourinho probably needs to dip back into the transfer market.
Scholes has urged the Portuguese tactician to return to his former club Real Madrid and bring either Modric or Kroos to United.
“The Red Devils had been calling me for two years to resign Pogba, I already had Romero, a player of mine, in their team so this contributed to leave the communication between us open”.
