Paul Pogba can be Manchester Uniteds match-winner in a free attacking role, says former star Darren Fletcher
Paul Pogba will prove he is the 89million player Manchester United thought they signed if he is given a freer attacking role by caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.Thats according to former Red Devils midfielder Darren Fletcher, who says the Frenchmans Old Trafford career is not over.Pogba was reportedly keen on leaving Manchester United after falling out with Jose Mourinho and becoming frustrated by the managers tactics.But after the Portugueses sacking this week, Pogba could be given a new lease of life under United legend Solskjaer.MUTV2

Solskjaer will take charge of the United first-team for the rest of the season

The Norwegians main task will be to inject belief and confidence back into a flailing team and start getting the best out of a number of under-performing star players Pogba included.And Fletcher, who coached the World Cup winner during a brief stint with the United reserve team before his move to Juventus, believes we will see a different Pogba if he is given freedom to express himself.When I was out ill I worked for six months with the reserves with Warren Joyce, and thats what we did, the Scot told Fridays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.We gave him a free role. We said to him, go and play, get on the ball and make things happen.Obviously he worked hard as well, that was asked of him.But we didnt play him as a central midfielder, somebody who was controlling the game, we played him higher up the pitch as a number ten, he could go left, he could go right.We let him be a free spirit and he was a match-winner.He could win games, he could create chances and he loved getting on the ball and trying things, but at least he was doing in the attacking third.2

So hopefully we see that Paul Pogba now, but he has got the ability of being a box-to-box midfielder, hes matured now and Ive seen him do it for France, so theres no reason why he cant do it for Man United.Fletcher also gave an insight into former United team-mate Solskjaer and how the baby-faced assassin can help save the Red Devils season.
