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’s name has recently been linked to discussions about Paul Pogba’s potential return to Manchester United, sparking debate among fans. Despite Pogba’s previous struggles at Old Trafford, his undeniable talent has led some to wonder whether he could still offer value to the current squad. United’s midfield has been a concern this season, with young Kobbie Mainoo making an impact and Bruno Fernandes driving creativity, but depth and experience remain issues. With inconsistency threatening the team’s top-four hopes, some argue that bringing Pogba back on a short-term deal—if he accepts reduced wages and a rotational role—could be a low-risk move. Ferguson’s reported comments suggest he sees little downside to such an arrangement.
Reactions among supporters have been divided. While some believe that a fit and focused Pogba could add much-needed technical quality, others remain skeptical due to his history of injuries, inconsistent performances, and concerns about his influence in the dressing room. While his return could provide stability in midfield, there are those who insist that the club should prioritize reliability and long-term planning.
As of now, no official approach has been made, and whether Pogba would be willing to take on a lesser role or overcome his fitness issues remains uncertain. Ferguson’s opinion, though influential, does not directly shape the club’s transfer strategy. With no credible sources confirming any interest from United, the possibility of Pogba’s return appears highly unlikely, especially given his ongoing suspension from football.
