While many believe that Paul Pogba is nothing but a huge flop, a lot more people are convinced that this man will be the one who breaks the dominance from Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo that has lasted for the better part of the last decade. The last player who won the Ballon d'Or other than any of those two is Brazilian Kaka, but Jamie Carragher is completely convinced that Paul Pogba is the man who will end with this once and for all and kick start the new era.
Writing in his column for the Daily Mail, Carragher started strong by saying that money isn't important for Pogba: "Forget about the money. For all that Paul Pogba is now the most expensive player in football history, Manchester United have not gambled. This is not a transfer that has threatened their financial future. They could afford to break the bank. You also need to forget about comparing him to other players who have cost similar amounts. Jose Mourinho hasn't brought Pogba back to do what Gareth Bale [€101m] or Cristiano Ronaldo [€93m] do for Real Madrid. That isn't his game.
"What United have done is buy a young man who has the potential and talent to become the game's next all-action hero. He can become the greatest midfielder in the world and drive his club back to the top. To be a success, however, he is going to find himself compared to midfielders such as Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Yaya Toure, those men who were at the forefront of all the triumphs Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City enjoyed in the modern era. This is the challenge facing Pogba: can he drag United forward in the difficult moments? Some people are wondering, having seen him in at Euro 2016, whether he is more hype than substance…I thought he had a good tournament overall and showed flashes of brilliance.
"I don't think the size of the fee will bother him. Pogba knows what pressure is, having played in a Champions League final for Juventus and the Euro 2016 final this summer, and he looked totally relaxed in the interviews that have been broadcast so far. This is a brilliant signing for the Premier League, not just United. For too long we have seen the finest talent around the world cherry-picked by Barcelona and Real Madrid, so it is encouraging Pogba chose to return to England rather than holding out for Spain. Everything about this four-time Serie A winner suggests he will have no trouble settling into English football: he's powerful, athletic and I like his off-the-cuff tricks and dribbles. You don't see many central midfielders doing that."
