Ruben Neves or Milinkovic-Savic would be the obvious choices.
Nicholas Pepe for the right wing in January.

We need a creative midfielder if Pogba was to leave. My choice would be Eriksen who'll be in the last year of his contract.
Won't mind if we add Frankie or Ruben to take over from Matic.

Instead of losing a WC winner why dont we sack Chelsea's reject instead? These days he cannot even win against derby at home
If we sign both Kai Havertz (having De Bruyne type impact) and N’dombele from the Pogba money we’d have done great business.
Who will want to come over to utd knowning mourinho still in charge. Probably the player thinks that he won’t be used effectively or will be thrown under the bus when thing goes horribly wrong
Eriksen would be fantastic. Probably the best through ball player in the league behind KDB and D Silva.
We need a creative player since none of our other midfielders can do it. He'll be perfect for us. He is more consistent than Pogba too.
Let's get both him and Poch in the summer.
No player in their right mind will now want to come to United to play under a sourpuss bitter cnut of a manager who is willing to throw everything from the players to the club under the bus to push blame away from himself. Goodluck looking for a replacement with the caliber of Pogba with a winning mentality who is willing to play negative football.
Would take Dybala to play in the 10 role in some sort of deal for Pogba going the other way. Otherwise, a long shot attempt at Eriksen would be great.

More of a Matic replacement, no? Though, he is more creative. I am sold after watching one youtube video. Will be interesting to see him at Barca.
Sorry but while we have an underperforming manager who has a track record of blaming everyone but himself, alienating his players and creating scapegoats for his own misgivings, we should hold on to what is still one of the best young prospects in the game .
Maybe Pogba isn't commited and will never excel here the way we should, but he should not be sold right now and 100% should not be sold by this clown of a manager .

Ramsey.
With way you set up he'd actually be a decent fit in your midfield imo.
Gets his injuries though and drifts in and out of games.
I get the feeling you don't really like Mou
Pogba is not a prospect though, he's 25, he's at his peak. I think no one can doubt the guy's God given talent, but you need more than that to succeed. He's acting like a child and if he doens't stop this, he will never be one of the greats. I wish him the best, but in this particular argument I tend to side with Mou, whatever my dislike for the guy.
This thread unfortunately feels like it might become relevant pretty soon, if we don't get rid of Jose by January I could see Pogba going as their feud is going to derail even a top 4 challenge.
If we do the unthinkable and not only get rid of Pogba but keep Mourinho then he'll go back to 4-2-3-1 and probably use Matic and Fellaini as his double pivot, maybe one of them with Fred, and then use the money elsewhere.
Pogba's replacement would actually be Lingard IMO, he'd move into the AM role behind Lukaku and we'd buy a RW and a couple of CB's with the money.

Savic or Pellegrini
If Mou is still the manager then Axel Witsel or Eric Dier
Phil Jones Mourinho could use him ..
I want to see some pass masters personally. Something our team lack since Carrick retired. Jorginho looks a great buy from Chelsea and you can see he's already influencing how they play.
If Mourinho is still with you next summer a big money move for Neves would be obvious.
Would try get Neves and Erickson. but in reality we need a lot to fix the squad out. new manager, do with couple CB's at least, CM, a ST and a RW, mad to think our full back positions actually look pretty decent the now with Shaw and Dalot, I no its only been a few games but he's looked much better then I thought he would have
Highly unlikely that JM is still here then, and if Jose goes then PP will stay...
Don't think there is one. No one that is a legit replacement.
He's quite unique that way. Hence why we paid a fortune to bring him back.

Eriksen is a good shout and might have a better impact than Pogba. Mourinho loves a good #10.
Thats 250m right there for Neves and Eriksen. Assuming we get 125 for PP its still a massive investment
Yeah, there's no direct replacement for Pogba, I actually don't think we'll eve buy a CM if he goes, at best we might recruit a #10/SS like Fekir/Dybala or at a stretch Eriksen.
Eriksen in the last year of his contract and Neves at Wolves. Where are you getting 250m from?
He won't. Numerous reports suggest he's determined to leave regardless who the manager is. He's definitely coming to the end of his time at United and we'll likely be shopping for a replacement in January.
And if he leaves during the next window he will go down as one of the biggest flops in PL history.
Neves and Ndombele. We'd finally have a good balance of steel and creativity.
That would be great.
Reports as in?
Neves and Fekir. I would like Eriksen but that looks impossible.
Today's Telegraph:
Says Pogba is determined to quit United for Barcelona, regardless of whether Mourinho remains as manager.

Lingard as a number 10 are you having a laugh?
Neves for sure.
If he was to go, I'd like to see us sign 2 players to replace him, a proper 10 and a DLP.
Ideally Eriksen and Neves, or Fekir and Neves. I'd also like to ship out Herrera and get Ndombele. That way we have the personnel to transition between 433 and 4231 easier.
This would also give us the option to ship out Mata and JLingz in the future.

Ramsey + Alderwierald will probably be get able in Jan for a cut price fee.
