3 Reasons Why Manchester United Need to Keep Paul Pogba

Pogba is arguably the best player at the club

There has been a lot of speculation over the future of French world cup winner Paul Pogba. Many newspaper outlets are reporting that the Frenchman is discontent and unhappy while some others are reporting that Pogba is happy and wants to stay with the Red Devils. Nonetheless, United can't let a player of his calibre leave as it will definitely come back to hurt them.

It could be said that United should build the team around Paul Pogba as he is an individual blessed with immense talent and has the ability to become the best midfielder in the world. But from what I have seen, he lacks the consistency to play at Manchester United, maybe another club could unlock his ability and talent.

There has been an eternal conflict between Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba, which has definitely affected his confidence, attitude and his form. But like I stated earlier United should do whatever they can to keep the Frenchmen

#1 Best Player at the Club?

Paul Pogba is arguably one of United's best player on his day. But that is on his day which comes around very rarely. So even though he lacks the consistency, he still has to be put up there with some of United's biggest names like the likes of De Gea and Romelu Lukaku.

I feel he hasn't placed himself there though and it looks like he's being labelled that due to his brand and the type of player he is from a commercial standpoint. He hasn't been able to deliver standout performances on a consistent basis though.

But like I have said, he has the ability to become the best midfielder in the world and there is no doubt about that. We have seen glimpses of his class like in the match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last season, where he single-handedly destroyed them.

#2 Revenue

Paul Pogba generates a lot of money

Looking a bit away from the football here. But it still plays a massive part in the modern game and that is money! From a commercial point of view, Paul Pogba is the package that brings in a ton amount of money.

In his first three weeks at the club, he generated more than £190 million through shirt sales unbelievable. He will and will always bring a lot of money into the club, that is good as it allows United to spend that money on transfers.

His name also brings in big sponsors such as the likes of Adidas and Chevrolet. Also, the TV deals remember people are paying good money because they want to watch the best footballers.

#3 Future

Enter c
Pogba is only 25-years-old!

Something that has to be stated and repeated over and over is that Paul Pogba is only 25-years-old. I repeat Paul Pogba is only 25-years-old. For a man who is only 25, he has achieved so much in the game that sometimes people forget he's got his whole career still to come.

Another reason United can't let him go is cause he's still so young and has still got his prime years to come. You don't want to lose him as he will become something very big and special in the future.

As many legends have stated that he is a future Ballon d'Or contender. So United can't afford for a player of his stature and potential to go play his trade elsewhere.
