Paul Pogba joked that he would rather stay on the bench if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer avoided playing him as United has won more games when he doesn’t play.
Pogba has been in fine form for United of late, scoring one and helping four more in his last seven appearances in all rivalries. The Frenchman has six goals to his name by and large this season, remembering three for the Premier League and a similar number of assists.
That puts Pogba level with Luke Shaw as far as immediate goal associations for United in all rivalries this season and behind Greenwood (seven), Martial (seven), Cavani (10), Rashford (18), and Fernandes (27).
Nonetheless, in spite of Pogba’s reasonable effect as an afterthought, the insights show United has played better without the 28-year-old in their firing line-up.
The Red Devils have won nine of the 15 matches Pogba has not been included in the starting eleven in the first class this term, contrasted with 10 victories in 18 matches with him in the XI – 2.2 focuses per game contrasted with 1.9 separately.
Man United’s normal of 2.3 goals per game without the ex-Juventus man in their firing line-up tumbles to 1.6 when he starts, in the meantime, and they surrender fewer goals (0.7) when he is excluded from the start than when he is (1.4).
As indicated by Goal, He was shown his statistics by Canal+ to which Pogba joked: “So you have to put me on the bench then! I had not seen this statistic. If the team does better without me, I would totally understand that the coach would put me on the bench. It’s a good challenge for me anyway. I hope it turns to the other side. I hope people will win more with me than without me.”
Still Paul Pogba is the key player for Manchester United. Pogba’s contract expires very soon and United needs to be quick to trigger another contract for the Frenchman.
