He is lazy, lazy player and the reason why he has done ok at an international level and playing for Juventus is because of the slower pace of the game and the players he has/had around him.

At United and with the general speed of the EPL he has been well and truly found out. Look at his positioning and overall chasing in most games, he is nowhere to be found. Why would Klopp want him anywhere near our club knowing that we would demand much, much more from him?

Granted Maureen has turned him into a more defensive player and his best position is sitting behind a team's forward line, he is still nowhere near the player any one expected to be right now.

For 120million we could rebuild our spine with a quality box-to-box CM and quality CF to help our fab 3.

I think he'd be great for us, as you say yourself he's currently a bit of a square peg at United and I don't think he's the only one either, imo Martial and Rashford are 2 others who's natural talents are being stifled by Mourinho's negative approach.
Look at Coutinho at Inter or even Suarez under Kenny, no matter how good a player is to get the best out of them they need to be in the right environment. I think Jurgen would turn him into a great player.
I think a midfield of Pogba, Keita + one other would be right up there with Europe's best.
If he came on the market though everyone would be in for him and given he came through United's youth ranks we'd probably be the last club he'd join.

That said I'm not even certain what his full potential is, nothing about him stick a out for me...except his hair. Sod that. He's United's expensive problem and anyone giving them their money back has helped them out of jail

Whether it's a case of Mourinho's style holding him back I've no idea, but suggesting he'd slot into Klopp's system and flourish is far less likely than the other way around.

Give me a Robertson, an Alexander-Arnold, even an Oxlade Chamberlain instead of him any day.

The curious case of Paul Pogba. My take is that he is a good player but definitely over rated. Their is potential for him to take it up a notch and under Maureen Pogba won't improve. Maureen is known for screwing up good players during his tenure at clubs.
Have a look a Sanchez i know its his first few months but he looks a shadow of a player he was.

Maureen is likely to drop both of them for the FA cup tie which won't do them any good.

I think Pogba can be good under Klopp but I'm unsure if he is suited to play in our system.
Heck any player with decent potential can look good with Klopp.
