Paul Pogba has been getting a lot of criticism recently but, if I am ever negative about him, it is only because he is such a wonderfully gifted player that I want to see him do so much more.
Although the £89m Manchester United midfielder has not been making or scoring the goals I would expect from him in the past few weeks, that is partly down to the role he has been asked to play and the players who are around him.
United manager Jose Mourinho needs balance in his team and he is still trying to find his best XI.
Mourinho has got so much attacking talent that sometimes Pogba is asked to play deeper, and he has also had to build a new relationship with Alexis Sanchez since the Chile international joined United from Arsenal in January.

Paul Pogba (right) had the best ratio of assists to minutes played of any player in Europe's top five leagues (one every 126 minutes) before Alexis Sanchez's arrival, but has not managed another assist since and has slipped to fifth place. He was ranked 18th in the Premier League for chances created per 90 minutes before Sanchez joined (2.14) but is now down in 40th (1.73).
Pogba has had to work out what Sanchez is going to do when he cuts inside, and where he fits into that, and learn how to adapt his game and find his own space.
All of that has affected the impact the France international has had on matches, not just with his goals and assists, but with his shots and the number of chances he has created.
He has only made one chance for a team-mate in the six games he has played since Sanchez signed on 22 January, a short pass inside the area to set up Marcus Rashford (who shot wide) in the 87th minute against Sevilla.
That was Pogba's only touch in the Sevilla box, and it came after Sanchez had been replaced by Rashford.
