Sir Alex Ferguson Weighs in on Paul Pogba’s Potential Return to Manchester United

Sir Alex Ferguson’s recent comments suggest that, despite Paul Pogba’s previous difficulties at Manchester United, his undeniable talent might still be valuable to the current team.

United’s midfield has been a subject of ongoing discussion this season. While young Kobbie Mainoo has made an impact and Bruno Fernandes continues to lead in creativity, the squad lacks depth and experienced options in central midfield. With the team’s inconsistency threatening their top-four hopes, some believe that re-signing Pogba on a short-term deal—if he agrees to a rotational role and reasonable wages—could be a sensible option. Ferguson himself indicated that such a move would not pose a significant risk under these conditions.

His comments have provoked varied reactions from fans. Some argue that a fit and focused Pogba could bring the technical quality and creativity the team lacks. Others remain doubtful, pointing to his injury record, previous inconsistency, and concerns about his impact in the dressing room. While some supporters believe Pogba’s return could regain control of the midfield, others feel that United should focus on dependable, long-term solutions.

At this stage, no formal offer has been made, but Ferguson’s remarks might influence internal discussions. Whether Pogba would accept a lesser role, recover from recent fitness problems, and integrate into United’s broader transfer plans remains unclear. As the debate continues, it is uncertain whether the club will take a risk on their former midfielder or explore other ways to bolster the squad.
