Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp thinks Paul Pogba should be given an advance role in the Manchester united team for him to flourish.
The 23-year-old Frenchman joined the Reds for a world-record £89m ($115.5m) from Juventus over the summer, but has failed to match fans’ immediate expectations.

Pogba has been primarily deployed alongside Marouane Fellaini in a 4-2-3-1 formation at Old Trafford. But Redknapp feels Pogba needs to be afforded more freedom if he is to flourish at United.
“He can play in a midfield two but it’s not his position. Playing him like this makes him a £20-£30m player, but to get the full £89m-worth he must play further forward,” Redknapp told the Daily Mail regarding the United midfield star.
“There is no doubt United have signed a superb player and he will come good eventually, but Mourinho has got to adapt to him as much as Pogba has got to adapt to United. He’s got to change the system to get the best out of Pogba, otherwise he’ll get the hump, get his agent involved and then the ugly blame game begins.”
