4) Inconsistent Pogba turns up again

Paul Pogba was largely ineffective against West Brom

For so long many Man United fans have wondered if Paul Pogba would ever turn up more consistently. Against Pep Guardiola's at the Etihad, the France international produced his best performance in the red shirt, scoring twice to inspire the Red Devils to a massive comeback win.

But the questions that lingered after were centred on whether he would be able to replicate such form week-in week-out. On Sunday against West Brom the answers were laid bare for all to see. Man United fans expected the two-goal Pogba to turn up, yet it was the Pogba of old that showed his face. The inconsistent one!

There is no doubt that the former Juventus anchorman has enormous talent, but his inconsistency is starting to become a problem for the Red Devils. Jose Mourinho has struggled to find the right position to play the 25-year-old. Perhaps, the Portuguese thought playing him in a three-man midfield would solve the conundrum.

However, on the face of what he saw against West Brom, Pogba should be doing far better. His inconsistency is not what Man United needs at this moment, especially with the FA semi-finals against Tottenham also to come.
