Manchester United to make a move for exciting ‘next Paul Pogba’
By Bence Bocsak
Manchester United are looking to land a bargain transfer.
With every dart forward, with every exquisite touch on the ball, there is a contagious energy about the way he moves. It doesn’t resemble the picture many have etched on their canvases about Paul Pogba but it is the new reality people must accustom to. The Manchester United midfielder has moulded himself into a new and improved diamond. He is now the jewel of Solskjaer’s midfield and the Red Devils have thrived under the Frenchman’s command.
Of course despite the blossoming form and the newfound energy, Pogba’s situation at Old Trafford is precarious. While whispers of a moves away have somewhat abated, they still linger on the periphery. Real Madrid and Juventus are unlikely to concede their pursuit of the World Cup winner and if United fail to provide Paul Pogba with what his heart desires, the Frenchman will undoubtedly be on the move for pastures new.
Solskjaer will know that. The Red Devils boss will have to prepare a contingency plan in advance to make sure the Frenchman’s departure does not majorly dent the club’s progress.

And it seems in his endeavour to find alternative options to Paul Pogba, the Norwegian has turned to his Scandinavian roots for an answer
According to BT in Denmark via Sport Witness, United are keeping a close eye on Mohammed Kudus.
Mohammed Kudus only arrived at FC Nordsjælland two years ago, but the 19 year old has been a standout performer in his two years with the Danish side.
There are vestiges of Pogba’s style in Mohammed Kudus’ play. The energy with which the Ghanian midfielder plays on the field is definitely in the same ilk as Pogba.
Capable of scoring from midfield with a strong eye for goal Mohamed Kudus has found the back of the net 12 times in 28 appearances this season for the Danish outfit.
Mohammed Kudus is quick, agile and he can play all across the midfield.
He netted on his debut for Ghana’s senior international team against South Africa.
At just 19 years of age, the ceiling is the limit for Mohammed Kudus. His exuberant energy could be perfectly suited to Solskjaer’s stye of play at United and with the young midfielder possessing tremendous strength he would not be out of place in the hustle and bustle nature of the Premier League.
Even is Pogba does not depart, Mohammed Kudus could be a valuable back-up at Old Trafford.
Do you think Mohammed Kudus would be a good signing for Man United?
