Paul Pogba has certainly had an up and down couple of weeks recently. In the 3-2 Manchester derby win at the Etihad, he was arguably the most dominant player in the Premier League that week. In the 1-0 West Bromwich Albion loss this past weekend, the Frenchman was totally abominable. Tonight, in the 2-0 win at Bournemouth, he was again elite.

All signs point to a massive overhaul at Old Trafford this summer, as there could be as many as ten player arrivals and departures combined.

On more than one occasion this season, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho complained about not having the resources that Premier League champion Manchester City possess. Mourinho griped about the difficulties that accompany trying to catch up to a club that has so much more money to spend.

In other words, the Red Devils have a a big gap to fill if they are to catch up to the Citizens next season.
