![[image loading]](https://i.ibb.co/5YSNhNT/Untitled.png) look at those stats. for a midfielder to do that is insane. losing him would instantly put united a tier lower. pogba like you say though is hit or miss and honestly we could probably get by without him. our issue last season wasnt lack of goals, it was poor defense and with varane that might just be enough. | ||

Yeah that is what i saw, City playing the EXACT same way will beat a team 4-0 later on this season, it is just sometimes when they are missing DeBruyne and not fit/ready (i know this isn't really an excuse as it is the same for all teams right now, but City have started slow the last few seasons) u get that result. Spurs attacked and looked ok on some counters but that is just normal footy and "statistically" that game ends 2-0 to City most of the time xD but we all know football isn't played by stats. | ||

That said, Ronaldo and Messi on the same team is the stuff of legends. | ||

I'm not sure, but maybe that's why Mbabbe is eager to leave now rather than a year later. Somebody likely has to do some less glamorous work and out of the three it may very well fall to him. | ||

I don't know why somebody would want to keep the floppy fish Neymar, apart from a good while back where the rumour was he wanted to reunite with Messi at Barca (before they went full basket case), hasn’t really intimated he wants away. Rumours have been swirling with pretty regular frequency that Mbappe wants to go to another club, primarily Real for a fair while. Plus he’s approaching the end of his contract, I don’t think PSG want him to go and they’ve been pretty bullish on that, but it might get to a time they’d rather proactively sell him than him go for free. One of those weird scenarios where I think if PSG win the Champions League Mbappe is more likely to seek a new challenge than if they don’t. Bringing in Ronaldo would be nuts though. Juve and Barca have struggled at the top end of European competition carrying Ronaldo and Messi’s lack of defensive workfare as individuals, I’m not sure any team can do anything at that level carrying two. I mean at the real top end of the CL, you’re either really good at pressing, or your entire gameplan revolves around it as a main component. Could be enough to take a league, you’re going to get butchered going against a top dog in the CL with 2, maybe 3 of your team not pressing in an era where coordinated pressing is such a big factor in the game’s tactics | ||

Ronaldo having a friend going to the press however is just pathetic knowing the club would rather see him leave as well, so I'm not sure what he tries to gain from that, poor behavior on his part. Haven't heard of any offerings for him from PSG either and it seems rather unlikely at this point. | ||

I could see a Pogba trade working out for both parts, though. United has a lot of youngsters that could benefit massively from having Ronaldo as a mentor and source of inspiration, Fernandes is there, good relationship with Solskjær, the club and the fans. But there I also think United would much rather concentrate on getting Haaland next year... (I think Haaland is like 90% likely to end up in Manchester next summer, but there are pretty strong arguments for why he might prefer either city or united.) | ||
