Manchester United identify the perfect Paul Pogba replacement

According to the latest reports Manchester United are preparing a move for the perfect Paul Pogba replacement in the summer transfer window.

He is not a straight forward player. Paul Pogba divides opinions of the extremes. To some, the Manchester United midfielder is one of the best in the world. To others, he is merely a player who shines on highlight reels but burrows into the turf when it really matters.

One thing which has been ever present throughout Paul Pogba’s career is the controversy. The French midfielder is an enigmatic and eccentric individual. He documents most of his questionable exploits on social media or in front of the ravenous paparazzi.

Paul Pogba is unabashedly himself and often by being just that, he has elicited criticism.

Genius is usually combined with the bizarre and Pogba’s behaviour off the pitch (and sometimes on it) is just part of the package.

What matters is the French midfielder’s ability on the pitch. Even during the beginning of his career many tipped Pogba for stardom.

While he hasn’t won all the trophies or accolades which he would have wished for, Pogba has always stood out on the pitch.

Paul Pogba was crucial in helping France to World Cup glory in 2018 and he has often dictated Unied the midfield after catching the eye at Juventus.

The explosive and energetic midfielder has the ability to change games single handedly.

That sort of unique ability is rare to find. However, United must brace themselves for the worst. Even if Pogba now looks likely to remain at Old Trafford.

Federico Valverde may have been an unknown name in the world of football a year ago, however the Uruguayan midfielder has had a rapid spurt to the top since then.

Having established himself as a regular member of Real Madrid’s starting eleven, he has shone for the Galacticos. The midfielder has been able to dictate the midfield and has surpassed Modric and Kroos with his performances this season.

Now according to Diario Madridista via the Daily Express, United are looking to sign Federico Valverde as a replacement for Paul Pogba in the summer.

The Uruguayan might not have the quirky personality but he certainly possess the skill and the ability.
