It was a similar role. The difference wasn’t tactics. It was his attitude in the role. He wasn’t complicating the simple stuff and choosing the right moments for the flair part of his game. He was committed to the cause. Unfortunately I feel he thinks he’s bigger than United and that he’s done us a favor by re-signing for United.

You're ignoring the fact he had better players around him. It cannot be understated how much of a difference that made.
Our team isn't that bad.
I think we'll see a better Pogba, and better Utd in general, as long as we get off to a good start and stay competitive in the league.
Yeah not to mention the team was pre-occupied with Mbappe and Greizmann up top and have an absolute work horse in matuidi balancing it out.
Long may it stay that way.
Can I safely say there will not be anymore utd tranfers now with a week or so left?
Holy shit SW are so condescending in the comments. Do they actually think they're an authority these days?
I'm sure there will be a transfer or two, don't worry.
Get the player in quick if he's the target and get behind him.
There's no good in writing him off before he kicks a ball for us.

I’m just going to pretend that Pogba story doesn’t exist because I just can’t be bothered with anymore drama on the eve of our season. This is not the time Mino.
Seems to be more and more Mina reports over the last 24 hours. Hopefully its us trying to get Leicester to consider selling Maguire.
Rojo out Mina in is good business tbh.
How good is Mina on the ball? Can he carry it out well?
Shame. I like him. Him and bailly played great in pair
I haven't seen a lot of him but a few clips on youtube would suggest no, looks like a slower version of Chris Smalling to me, could be totally wrong though.
The difference is that he was playing in a team brimming with world class talent and that brought the best out of him.
Smalling but slow was exactly how a Barcelona supporting friend described him to me this morning.
Nope, its certainly not one of his strengths, from what I've seen, and most reports about him.
Make him stay for this season which should be a given, and then one of the following things will happen. Either Jose leaves and we get a new coach who can persuade him to stay. Or, Jose is successful enough to hang around/the new coach can't persuade him and he leaves, upon which we can command a Coutinho type fee and reinvest in 2 good midfielders to fill the void. Or maybe one mid and a creative #10. Not the end of the world in either scenario, but imperative that he stays this summer.
I don't believe we're after Mina. Another inexperienced CB, surely not. Plus Mourinho supposedly wants someone that's good on the ball and that's not one of Mina's strengths is it? Completely the wrong profile to what we're after.
What is the deal with players in Italy swapping between all the big Italian clubs every few years or so. I mean Zlatan did it, Pirlo did it, Radja Naingolan did it (albeit including Cagliari) and now Higuain is doing it. I know Italian clubs don't mind cheap transfers between clubs but this is ridiculous, is this the equivalent of an English journeyman?
Not exactly encouraging. We are crying out for composure back there to beat pressing.
Yup, like that dark blue french corsette...
