Intresting piece on Pogba (ESPN)
Excerpts
Full Story : http://www.espn.com/…/man-united-france-star-paul-pogba-loo…
Hanging around his house today are his Parisian boyhood friend and gofer Mamadou, his Bolivian-model girlfriend Maria Zulay Salaues, his Brazilian manager who lives in Monaco and speaks six languages, and, of course, his cook, who hails from Naples and chatters away in Italian as she futzes around the kitchen.
These four friends, along with his mom and two brothers, protect him from the circling wolves of criticism. He's in that dangerous career zone in which his immense potential, long the source of his wealth and fame, could become the central exhibit in the case for his failure. Manchester United bought him in 2016 from Juventus for upward of 89 million pounds, the largest transfer fee in history at the time, and he's worn that scarlet number around his neck.
Russia is coming at the perfect time for him. No other player on the planet needs the psychic reboot of a World Cup as much as Pogba. "He is at an important crossroads," says Mamadou's brother, "Papis" Magassa, who coached Pogba in their neighborhood in Paris.
The last Premier League season, which ended two days ago, exposed clearly the conflict that will dominate the rest of his career: Can the joy and whimsy that define his play survive the pressures seeking to harden him into something serious and mathematical? If Pogba succumbs to Mourinho's system, he might become the best player of his generation. Or he might lose the most important part of himself and his game. "It has to be fun," Pogba says. "It started like that. It started fun. So why does it have to change?"
Friends describe him as one of the happiest people they've ever met, a trait he inherited from his mother, who looks on every good thing in her life as a blessing to be celebrated. The people closest to him believe his joy serves as a kind of pilot light for his talent. Two of those people stood in their kitchen two days ago, on the morning of Man United's final league game, and remembered Pogba saying years ago, "I'll play football wherever it makes me feel happy."
On the morning of United's final league game, the Dalbys thought about the difficulty of watching a young man they consider an adopted son be trashed day after day. They've bristled at how easily critics, even former United players who should know better, engage so guiltlessly in a market in which players are characters and not former 16-year-old boys a long way from home, asking Carol and Paul for seconds of pasta.
"It's so cruel, you know?" Carol says. "It's so cruel. He's just been battered."
That day found them writing the obituary and eulogy for Paul Dalby's brother, who died suddenly while on vacation in Spain. When Pogba heard the news, he reached out. When he scored in a United game a few days later, he sent the Dalbys a note saying that the goal was a gift for their grieving family and that he'd be delivering the shirt he wore while scoring.
He found the purest expression of his inner self on the field. At least he once did. "He used to prance around the pitch," Paul Dalby says. "A little bit of that has left him now."
They can take one look at him and know how he's doing. Earlier this year, Carol walked through the room where their big television played the United game. Paul grew up watching Bobby Charlton and George Best and loves to see his local club play. Almost accidentally, Carol caught a glimpse of Pogba on the pitch.
"He doesn't look very happy," she said.
"He's not," he said.
"The only way to be No. 1 is to have pillars in your life who help you and protect you," says Magassa, Pogba's former coach. "You can't be the best if you're alone."
During the toughest year of Pogba's career, when he most needed straight talk, there's been nobody to give it. He feels his father's loss acutely and has shouldered this grief almost entirely in private. The football-viewing world got a glimpse of what he's been feeling during a March friendly between France and Russia: Pogba lifted his jersey to reveal a homemade white T-shirt with a written message of remembrance and love to his late father. Perhaps it's a coincidence, but in that game, Pogba played with the kind of magic and creativity that has made him among the most sought-after and frustrating players of his generation.
For Mourinho's United, he looks paralyzed from overthinking. With Juventus, he shared a five-man midfield with dominant players such as Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio, and his 6-foot-3 frame gave him an advantage against most of his smaller counterparts. With United, he plays with just one other true midfielder and must shoulder a greater offensive load in the more physically demanding Premier League. His role with France more closely mirrors his role at Juventus than at Man United.
Every now and then, like in that dominating performance against Man City, a glimmer of what Pogba might become breaks through for a moment. Someday he'll be fully realized, right? The first part of that answer will come in Russia. There are many things to be decided; summer will bring rumors of a transfer to PSG or Real Madrid, or even a possible return to Juventus, something in him forever wistful and chasing. Either of those would be oddly predictable -- another return to a happier place, another do-over. "In football," he says, "you're not allowed to make mistakes."
He's trying to remain positive and upbeat; during a 20-minute interview just before his photo shoot, he repeatedly avoids easy chances to dig into Mourinho. His manager actually seems a little disappointed that he didn't take any shots; she says she told him that the story wouldn't come out until after the FA Cup final and that he should feel free to speak his mind. The closest he comes is when he's asked what he thinks Man United needs to do most urgently. "We all think about the old Manchester United, the Ferguson United," he says. "I think it's time for people to realize that time passed. He won't come back. You have to look ahead. Now we have to think about the future. We have to find the next Ferguson."
Russia is the canvas he needs. He's got to remind people that his vision of himself is more powerful than anyone else's.
He doesn't need to rip Mourinho.
"Not yet," he says.

Manchester United could be bringing in a pair of Ligue 1 players over the summer, according to the Manchester Evening News.
The report suggests Jose Mourinho’s side leading the race to sign Paris St Germain's Marco Verratti and Bordeaux's Malcom, despite keen interest from other top European clubs.
