Dwight Yorke<\/a> has urged Manchester United<\/a> to give Paul Pogba<\/a> another chance, insisting the midfielder is \u2018far better than what we have now\u2019 in midfield.<\/p>\n

Pogba is a free agent after mutually parting ways with Juventus last November.<\/a><\/p>\n

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<\/a> after the Court of Arbitration for Sport accepted his argument that he did not intentionally ingest a banned substance.<\/p>\n

The World Cup winner is eligible to play again in March, having teased a possible return to Old Trafford last month.<\/a><\/p>\n

United\u2019s options in midfield have been meagre for most of the season with Kobbie Mainoo sidelined until after the March international break<\/a>. Manuel Ugarte has returned after a knock, scoring against Everton on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are out of favour under Ruben Amorim with 21-year-old Toby Collyer often preferred when fit.  <\/p>\n

Former United striker Yorke is not convinced any of the side\u2019s current options are any better than Pogba and believes a short-term deal should be taken under serious consideration at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

\u2018It’s an interesting take. I would give Paul Pogba a third chance, definitely, because of what United currently have and because of what we know he is capable of producing,\u2019 Yorke told Casinobeats.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018Obviously, with two months left, I would say, let’s have a look. Give him a contract. You’ve got time here to prove yourself.<\/p>\n

\u2018You can come and play and help us out with the situation I\u2019m sure Pogba would be very keen. Maybe he might want a long-term deal because of the security.<\/p>\n

\u2018I can see why his name has been mentioned because United have struggled, and Pogba is a damn good player.<\/p>\n

\u2018Even though he\u2019s 31, I think he’s far better than what we have now. And if you’re going to get a player for free, who’s far better than all our players in midfield, then you do it.\u2019<\/p>\n

Rio Ferdinand has also urged United to at the very least invite Pogba to training to \u2018have a little look\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018You\u2019d like to think he would [be going somewhere]. Surely he\u2019s got to go somewhere,\u2019 Ferdinand told Rio Presents.<\/p>\n

\u2018Pogba at United? I\u2019d go come in and train with us and let\u2019s see what you\u2019ve got. I\u2019d do that. I would\u2019ve done that already. I\u2019d say come in and get fit and let\u2019s have a little look.\u2019<\/p>\n

United are back in action at home to Ipswich Town on Wednesday evening.<\/a><\/p>\n

13 points separate the sides sat in 15th<\/sup> and 17th<\/sup> place with United picking up just one home win in their last six in the league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
