Perhaps but Xhaka is very good at finding people from long passes from deep, he is a bit of a vicious cunt and has Coquelins ability to break up opposistion play he's just better on the ball, so that you don't have to have another midfielder who drops deep like Cazorla did when he partnered Le coq.
If it works who knows, but that appears to be l'ouisseaus thinking that a player like Xhaka is better at turning defence into attack quicker.
United confirm Pogba to have a medical.

One game preseason game? Of course I missed it lol
That matters more than the 100+ games he has played with us since? He is not a patient player and is kinda thick. He has that freedom now to make runs behind defenses and doesn't.
FTR, I think Alexis mastering CF makes him a POY contender. I have always felt that but Alexis wants the football too much and lacks patience.
I hope I am wrong and he does become a CF.
It'll be a few weeks at most before he begins to put the blame on someone United fans actually care about, or before he pisses off a player with some influence in the squad.
I still can't see how United's squad isn't completely unbalanced nor full of egos who want to place in the same space, but then I'm sure they'll bore their way to 1 goal wins every weekend as well.
If he plays today against City up front today then watch him. I was wrong about it being a pre season, he had a few games up front during the season. Early when he first started. CL qualification and against Everton I think. I'm going off what I saw and he doesn't play like how he does on the wing when up front.
