There was an interview with Mourinho before the game where Mourinho was asked what Pogba could bring and he was saying how hard it is to find midfielders that bridge the gap between midfield and a number 10 as players that can do defensive duties but also attack and score goals and named Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard as examples so I think we can expect to see him playing box to box and the playmaker of the side.
I dont think he would have came or we would have spent that kind of money anyway for him to be used in that way. I wsonder who his partner will be as even with Schweinsteiger out of the equation we are still left with Schneiderlin, Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera and even Pereirra and Mensah, that is a hell of a lot of players for one position, ironically none of which seem ideal to me anyway (well Mensah does longer term but I doubt he will get a chance this season).
Including Schweinsteiger all of our midfield signings have probably been bought for the role Pogba will play, considering how dissapointing all of them have been the last three years it make the £89m a really good deal as we have spent more than that on four players who have all been pretty poor so far. Pogba brings that strength, power and drive that none of those signings have, Schweisteiger had it in abundance too four or five years ago though.
No doubts at all Pogba will be a great signing for us, and on a side note, early days but Bailly looks a steal for £30m with todays prices, give him a year and he will be one of the best in the world I reckon
