@gyaigyimii I think they’ve got different style of plays. Kross can defend and control the tempo of the game and provides some attacking options too.
Pogba is more of the attacking midfielder. No proper defensive attributes

🚨🔴 Manchester United keep looking for new left back, next priority after Baleba deal.

There have been calls with Alejandro Balde’s camp over last days to understand if exit is possible and conditions.

🔵🔴 Balde, happy at Barcelona.

City still haven't signed Ayyoub Bouaddi yet despite a free run at him, might still overpay for Enzo Fernandez & whoever else they throw money at. They've only signed Elliot Anderson for £116m & £300k+ p/w.

This after losing Pep, Rodri, Silva, Stones, Reijnders etc. Since Txiki Begiristain left they aren't the operation they once were, Hugo Viana quietly doing an awful job. And then Arsenal took the total piss of them last week.

Not all is well on the sportswashing side of Manchester...

🚨 José Mourinho: “I love Bernardo Silva as a signing. He brings everything to the table”.

🚨 BREAKING: Newcastle United complete agreement on new £190m training complex. Club purchasing Woolsington Hall estate to build elite men’s 1st team + academy facilities. Subject to planning permission #NUFC would move in for 2029-30 season @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/bFHLGYP6X5

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔴 Carlos Baleba made clear to his camp his only dream since August 2025: Manchester United.

Baleba agreed personal terms with #MUFC one year ago but Brighton closed the doors; now negotiations at final stages.

The agreement player-United remains valid: he only wants United.

[Red Devil James 🔴 @agbo_james13]

Bruno Guimarães at 29 went to Arsenal for £75m and bags £250k every week.

Mateus Fernandes with back-to-back relegation and no int'l cap cost Tottenham £89m and £250k a week in wages.

Anderson with one good season went to City for £116m and earns £300k weekly.

Bouaddi will move to City for £100m+

Baleba at 22 for just £65m on £85k a week is a bargain and could be the best signing of them all in the long-run.
