The best bit about that line up is any of those 3 behind Ibra can play anywhere accross that line. I'd hate to have to limit Pogba though hopefully he can still roam free.
Story originated in the Sun but has been picked up by ESPN and Sky all quoting the Sun who aren't really quoting anyone.
Well since Mourinho doesn't see Darmian or TFM as a viable option at RB i can only assume he is healthy competition for Valencia.
Might be a good comparison from what I've seen. Especially in some of these GIFs with his close control and nice gliding burst of pace to get by:
Hopefully both Rooney's not getting any younger or better and Valencia needs a backup.
I see what you mean but Darmian is hardly an attacking option at LB in the absence of Shaw is he so he may just add a defensive option in a tactical way plus if he can play DM too even better it means he's versatile.
Nothing with having two
In appearance or play style?
I dont think he's like Mata in play style at all he is much more of a quick dribbler like David Silva, Mata is much more conserved in his play and is slower.
So he is better than Mata already? How many times have you guys seen full games of Bernardo Silva instead of looking at fancy Youtube reels? The only thing he does exceptionally well compared to Mata is run with the ball. Mata has produced just as much if not more than him while playing far fewer minutes
Given Bernardo's mentality and off-the-ball workrate - to go with his playmaking ability, he could work in a midfield three as a hybrid (like the one Dortmund sometimes employ with Guerreiro + Castro/Götze and the likes):
Though in their case, having someone as complete as Guerreiro as a proper box-to-box midfielder in both phases, and quality width on the outside channels definitely brings more balance to the entire structure. Whereas we would be better off with prioritizing Pogba and providing more tactical leeway to him.
