Man United visited Camp Nou on Tuesday night with a thin hope to pass through the La Liga champions after the 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford last week. Barca easily beat the Premier League side again and one particular incident shows United picked the wrong man to build the team around.
The Red Devils were 2-0 down by the 20th minute after Messi's 4-minute brace and that's where the Catalans started to dominate Solskjaer's men. Pogba was nowhere near his best form on Tuesday and was way better at kicking his opponents than the ball.
Pogba, linked with Real Madrid, showed his true self in the 36th minute of the game when he clashed with Artur Melo:
- Pogba meets with Busquets and Arthur and shows his 'stunning' skills of keeping the ball around him.
- Now the Brazilian steals the ball from the World Cup winner to start his side's attack.
- And that is where it all begins: the first attempt on Arthur's legs.
- Now, it's all getting worse.
- Let's try it with the left one.
- United paid €105 million for Pogba; Barca made the move for Arthur for something under €40m.
The only person who managed to annoy Arthur in this situation was the referee Felix Brych who decided to stop the game despite the fact that the midfielder continued to control the ball.
