Paul Scholes, former Manchester United player, believes that Pogba " '[is] trying to do too much on the ball. He’s trying to beat three or four players, a lot of the time he’s running with the ball'" (Mirror).
Some speculate that Pogba's playing style is not compatible with the current formation. Pogba played in a three man center mid field in Juventes, where he was very successful. Now he plays within a two man system. They conclude that Pogba cannot take as many liberties in a two man system, and that within the three man system, he had another center mid to act as an anchor, while he would dribble the ball into the opponent's final third.
Others believe that for Manchester United to be successful, they have to organize their formations and strategize off of new players like Pogba, rather than try to force them to play according to the personalities of long time players. They affirm that Wayne Rooney has exhibited too much influence on the team, and has prevented players like Pogba and Ibrahimovic from shining.
