Louis Saha names the Manchester United star Ruben Amorim should re-sign
Ruben Amorim is in the midst of a mounting injury crisis (Credits: Alamy Live News.) Louis Saha has urged Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim to consider signing Paul Pogba. The Red Devils are in the midst of a mounting injury crisis that forced their beleagured manager to load his substitutes’ bench with untested teenagers against Tottenham on Sunday. Amad Diallo was, perhaps, the most high-profile absentee against Spurs after he sustained an ankle injury in training that will keep him sidelined for the rest of the season. The Ivory Coast interatnational was joined on the treatment table by Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer, while Leny Yoro and Christian Eriksen were ill. Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Mason Mount are also long-term absentees depriving Amorim of much needed experience and Premier League nous. Pogba, meanwhile, is currently a free agent after mutually agreeing to terminate his contract at Juventus last year. The France international, who left United in the summer of 2022, was handed a doping ban in February last year, with his four-year suspension cut to 18 months after the Court of Arbitration for Sport accepted his argument that he did not intentionally ingest a banned substance.

It’s an opportunity to sign someone who is highly motivated. ‘He’s going to obviously still have huge confidence about his ability. I’m sure that when he looks at this midfield at United, he has a different type of vibe in his game. So definitely it’s an easy fit. ‘I think that he will communicate with the manager. He would be humble after the situation. He’s been injured; he’s been banned. I’m sure Pogba wants the visibility.

For him to get back into the national team, he needs to show that he can still do it at the top level. ‘United would be signing a player that is completely dedicated and focussed on achieving his goals, because he’s been out of the game for so long. ‘I’m sure that the most important thing for Pogba would be to show Amorim and the Manchester United fans that he is still one of the best players in the world. He will want to show people how good he was and how good it can still be. ‘I think it’s a nice opportunity for the club and the player.’
