Of course he did, he just decided not to pass it to him.Someone mentioned it earlier here, but in big games he sometimes seems to try Hollywood stuff. Might be that, or that he didn't see him.

Please don't cry fanboiEverything and all your posts about Pogba.
Surely a suspension or ban!What an embarrassing post. How old are you btw?
Still waiting for Shaw to come good, and we were looking for Perišić, who would be playing wingback tonight.Its baffling we haven't bought a LB.
Seen the replay again with a slow motion. Casemiro was fractionally offside after all. Still too close for the human eye to spot.Except he was offside. Madrid deserve to lead anyway, but he's ahead enough for it to be comprehensively offside.
Why would I cry. It's about time your mommy takes back the laptop and put you to bed.Please don't cry fanboi
And fecked it up 5 seconds later by falling. Rest of the game is mediocre to rubbish.Mikhi had a sensational moment when he nutmegged Ramos in first 5 minutes.
Lvg was possession with no cutting edge which was pointless. It's a fine balance but this RM team have that nailed down. They can be direct or pass it around for 5 minutes and not give you a sniff.Think LVG was trying to get us to play some possession football and that didn't go down well with fans, so doubt Mourinho will risk getting boos if he starts doing that..
Yep. Don't get the overreaction. We aren't going to be outplaying them let alone matching their level. Especially with us trying a new formation and playing new players whereas Madrid players have previous world clsss chemistry.Looks alright to me.
These are, arguably, the best club side in the World.
We're holding our own, more or less.
Silly argument when Mourinho has come in 12 months ago and is rebuilding the squad. No point counting how much money has been spent when he wasn't here. He's actually recouped and sold on alot of that.Looks to me guys, that if you put everything down to the gulf in quality, you'll never improve. I've seen Sevilla play much better vs Madrid than you do now. Doubt you can make a case about Sevilla being better than United. It's about the attitude as well, and about the poor tactics on display from Mourinho.
You don't get to put everything down to the 'gulf in qualty'. How much did you spend in the last 3 years? Must be over 250m.
What's would you call a footballer who is miles over side taking the ball away from another who is onside with no pressure from defenders?Except I've not said that have I. We're playing against the best team in the world in a fairly meaningless game. We're playing badly, I agree. But saying "we're overrated" or "we're shit" or "Lukaku is fecking brainless" based off this game is just dumb in my opinion. If we're playing this badly in the prem 3 games in I'll be pissed. But this really doesn't worry me
He's right in that case though.Pogba has been trying to prove he's the best player on the pitch. He's making foolish mistakes and being selfishWas Gerrard really just ripping into Pogba for trying to be too individual? Wanker, clearly never watched a game he played in himself.
Yeah saw the replay at half time and it's not as clear as I thought.Seen the replay again with a slow motion. Casemiro was fractionally offside after all. Still too close for the human eye to spot.
Not individually. The philosophy set up by zidane is posession based total football . you have to play similarly to play well against that philosophy.Modric, isco and kroos are world class, no surprise there. Our attack letting us down, lingard focusing too much on the defensive part I think and doing basically nothing in attack, not even appearing out on the left wing when there's loads of empty space. Just shouldn't be starting in a game like this, woefully short of the level needed. Hopefully Martial comes on asap for him.
Lukaku isolated, but with a few dumb moments (especially taking it when he was offside). Pogba started well then reverted to last seasons form after Madrid took over. Needs to impose himself way more. As it is, Modric, Kroos and Isco are teaching him a lesson in terms of how you play in games like this.
Matic definitely our best player so far. Valencia doing alright, a few careless passes. Same with Mkhitaryan. Lindelof and Smalling don't fill me with confidence, especially with crosses. We look awful on set pieces.
Still hope for us, but we need a Martial at his best on the left to give us an attacking threat.
Well there's a surprise.They look fitter also and more adapted to the climate than us.
Lindelöf had no clue of where Casemiro was!No defender to be blamed for this goal at all. We played on the offside trap and Casemiro was clearly offside. It's the ref's fault.
He's been on holiday with 3 kids...two new newborns and I think this is his first game back.Still in this, RM were in complete control but have dropped off the last 10 mins.
I worry though, they still have Ronaldo to come...
He didn't think he was offside ?I'm still wracking my brain trying to figure out why Lukaku touched that interception from Herrera.
Still off side though. Why bother having officials then?Yeah saw the replay at half time and it's not as clear as I thought.
Two players out of position. Darmian and Lingard. No left footer to feed Lukaku, and absolutely no attacking threat from Lingard. Too easy for Real.This left side, just utter nothingness with Carvajal getting all the time in the world.
Even if he was 4 inches further back and actually onside Lindelof wouldn't have got there. Nowhere near tight enough - he should have been close enough to Casemiro to interrupt the ball. He was just lazy and badly positioned. Lindelof is to blame.No defender to be blamed for this goal at all. We played on the offside trap and Casemiro was clearly offside. It's the ref's fault.
Casemiro was offside. The goal was illegal. How can I blame any defender for this ?Lindelöf had no clue of where Casemiro was!
I'm starting to think Mourinho bought him so Guardiola couldn't, even if he doesn't fit us.
I mean our style of play is the same. Against the better teams we give them too much respect and focus on how to stop them rather than how to beat them. Hoof it forward to an isolated striker and it comes straight back towards us. I wish they would retain the ball better.Who the feck did we play last season remotely close to this Madrid team? We're doing well, not being outclassed, or being thrashed as many in here would have you believe. We need a winger though, yes.
Agreed with you on that. We are playing midfield three vs midfield five. There was no contest in that half.Big difference is the defenders. Ours are all good/great on the ball. Yours don't know what to do and treat the ball as if it's made of lava
He's not touched the ball that much and his desperation to touch the ball clouded his mind and he just wasn't thinking.I'm still wracking my brain trying to figure out why Lukaku touched that interception from Herrera.
Why would I cry. It's about time your mommy takes back the laptop and put you to bed.
I asked this when the "Pogba will be set free" thing was being repeated.Pogba's deeper than the Titanic. Thought Matic was meant to set him free.
We did. We can give them a game up until our attack where we are hopeless.Thought we actually played ok for the last 10-15 minutes or so. Madrid are obviously a class apart, but we've had a few opportunities. Pogba has been poor, Matic has been great so far.
Darmian had been good tonight.They're levels above us. We have Darmian and Lingard making up our left hand side like, what can you really expect?
