BREAKING NEWS: live from Old Trafford, “I understand the logic against signing Pogba. But, what many people are missing is the lack of quality in our starting 11. Except Bruno & Amad, united don’t have many match winners and difference makers. we need at least a few in any top team. Pogba in top form is absolute quality. People won’t admit it, but we never really replaced the quality of Pogba.” If Pogba can be signed on a short term transfer on reasonable wages with agreeing to be a rotational option for Mainoo, It’s not much a risk

Sir Alex Ferguson Weighs In on Pogba’s Potential Manchester United Return

Live from Old Trafford, legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has shared his candid thoughts on the club’s current squad and the ongoing speculation surrounding a potential return for Paul Pogba. His remarks have sparked widespread debate among United fans, as he acknowledged concerns over signing Pogba while also highlighting the squad’s lack of top-tier talent beyond a few key players.

“I understand the doubts about bringing Pogba back. But what people are overlooking is the lack of genuine quality in our starting XI. Aside from Bruno and Amad, United don’t have many real game-changers. Any top team needs a few. Pogba, at his best, is pure class. People won’t admit it, but we never truly replaced his quality.”

A Surprising Endorsement from Ferguson

Ferguson’s comments are particularly striking given his history with Pogba. The French midfielder left United as a teenager under Ferguson’s watch, only to return in 2016 for a then-world-record £89 million fee. Despite flashes of brilliance, Pogba’s second spell at Old Trafford was marred by inconsistency, injuries, and off-field drama.

Now, however, Ferguson appears to suggest that a fit and motivated Pogba could still add value to the current United setup, a statement that has divided opinions.

Could Pogba Solve United’s Midfield Issues?

United’s midfield has been a hot topic this season. While Kobbie Mainoo has emerged as a rising star and Bruno Fernandes remains the creative focal point, the team lacks depth and experienced reinforcements in key central areas.

With the club struggling for consistency and their top-four hopes hanging in the balance, some believe a short-term deal for Pogba—on reduced wages and as a rotational option—could be a smart, low-risk move.

“If Pogba can be signed on a short-term deal, with reasonable wages and an understanding that he’s a rotational option behind Mainoo, it’s not much of a gamble,” Ferguson added.

Fan Reactions: A Divided Opinion

Social media has erupted with mixed responses following Ferguson’s remarks. Some supporters believe that, when fit and focused, Pogba remains a world-class talent who could bring much-needed creativity and technical prowess to United’s midfield.

One fan tweeted:
“Fergie speaking facts! United haven’t had a real midfield maestro since Pogba left. If he’s willing to take a reduced role, I’d bring him back in a heartbeat.”

Others, however, argue that Pogba’s injury history, inconsistency, and potential locker-room distractions make his return too risky—even on a short-term contract.

Another fan countered:
“We’ve seen this before. Pogba is brilliant, but he’s unreliable. We need commitment and consistency, not another gamble.”

What’s Next? Could Pogba Return to Old Trafford?

At this stage, there is no official offer on the table, but Ferguson’s backing could influence behind-the-scenes discussions. A potential return would hinge on several key factors:

✅ Pogba’s willingness to accept a rotational role
✅ His fitness and ability to stay injury-free
✅ United’s broader transfer strategy for the summer

With Sir Alex Ferguson publicly supporting the idea, the debate over Pogba’s return is far from over. Will United take the risk? Or will they look elsewhere for midfield reinforcements?
