Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba is still a few levels off from his best, Rene Meulensteen has said.
Rene recently revealed that he would prefer to see the Frenchman driving forward, rather than sitting deep.
According to him, he is 100 per cent sure that Paul will be delighted to play further forward because he has been showing good flashes of amazing link up play with Bruno Fernandes.
He added that most Mufc supporters want to see the World Cup winner going from box to box and getting the required goals in decisive games.
His words, “I’m 100 per cent sure that Paul will be delighted with this sort of play,”
“You can see that, and we’ve already seen flashes of he and Fernandes linking up together.
“Paul is still a few levels off from his best. I think he can sometimes get the ball nicked off him too easily, and I still want to see him going from box to box, driving forward, and bringing a bit of unpredictability to that midfield.”
On his future, “It’s one of the situations that needs to be cleared up soon,”
“Just so everyone knows this is what’s happening for next season, that’s what we need.”
On the team, “United need to start competing for the Premier League, but that’s a big ask,” said the 56-year-old coach. “I still think they need to strengthen in the back-line, and I would definitely get something in the midfield, for sure.
“I still think, at the moment Manchester United are in form, they could beat any team that comes in front of them, but at the same time they could still lose to any team as well.
“The front three works, I have to say, but they’re obviously very young, especially with Greenwood. I can see a more experienced player coming in, but that depends on whether they want to play with a real out-and-out striker, because they don’t really have one.
“Obviously Martial can play there and plays it in his way, so does Rashford, but he’s not an out-and-out striker like for example [Robert] Lewandowski or [Harry] Kane.
“With all the strength United have going forward, I think a really top, top striker who you know is going to score 20 goals-plus every season would be a massive help.”
