The former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has advised the club to keep one of the team`s stars, Paul Pogba, pointing out that he is irreplaceable. The future of the French midfielder is constantly in question, especially since the player himself admitted before the start of this season that he is open to other challenges. However, the footballer managed to form a strong tandem with the new addition Bruno Fernandes and both played a key role in the last matches of United, as the team is in a series of 19 games without a loss. Pogba has a contract with the club until 2021 with the option to automatically extend for another season, but recently there has been talk that the Frenchman may sign a new five-year contract to stay at Old Trafford. The former Red Devils player Rio Ferdinand believes that the club prediction by onlinesocceradvisor should work in this direction.

'I saw a lot of people, a lot of fans, a lot of people who said that the team had to get rid of Pogba if he wanted to develop!', said the Englishman to BT Sport. 'What I want to say is that now we are starting to see what can be done and what he could have been when he signed. Why sell? If you want to replace him, with whom? Who is better than him now in the world? It`s impossible. Keep him. He is in a good shape, although only a few games have passed.'

United managed to prevail with 2:0 over Crystal Palace, which kept the intrigue in the fight for the top 4 in the Premier League. Pogba started from the first minute of the match, and this season he has participated in 15 more matches in all tournaments in which he has scored 1 goal and has had 4 assists.
