He's a player who needs that arm around the shoulder from the manager and he isn't going to get it from Jose.

Google Jose Pogba hug, 1st picture there Jose is hugging him after the shit show against Chelsea.
Jose made him Captain and has done nothing but praise him this season. But yeah you're right, guy just needs a hug and needs to be made to feel wanted.
Or maybe you're just churning out the usual unimaginative bile about Jose, that is based on nothing. Pogba is a grown man, Captain of this team and paid a fortune, he needs to stand and be counted as a man. If Shaw and Smalling can perform, then Pogba certainly should be able to.

Pogba vs a fit & in form Darren Fletcher

Let's be honest.

Who would you rather have in the team right now?

Can’t stand him. His little skip/jump when he inevitably loses the ball in the centre circle is boiling my piss. He’s bang average and a waste of a shirt. Arrogant little prick and the World Cup win has made him worse.

I'm actually criticising Pogba.

agree. this is on pogba and us insofar as not having a good enough squad by now to not have to rush the world cup players back. we are a shambles from the top down! even signing pogba is looking like a disaster now. he looked like a sure thing 2 years ago, maybe his highlights still do, united fans know what its like to have to watch that feeble kind of performance from a guy supposedly in the top bracket. i couldnt care less if he leaves. hes achieved almost nothing here and he never will playing like this.

It's not even a contest. Fletcher on form was one of the best midfielders in the league and was actually voted in EPL team of the season. His impact in those 3 years when he was a regular starter in midfield was much bigger than anything Pogba showed for us.

All that leaving absolutely everything on the pitch until the last minute, while the other is walking around looking like he doesn't give a shit.

He's an absolute myth. Has never justified his price tag or reputation and brings all the off field drama to boot.

If he doesn't buck his ideas up, take the £150m and run. Big part of our problems for me.

Has no urgency or intensity about his game when playing for us. Even when we're 2 down he just trots round the pitch like we are 4 goals up, such a contrast to how Paul Scholes would just takeover and dominate.

He's a great player when he's in an already great team. We saw that in the world cup where he was top class. He's icing on a cake. Right now we don't have the cake. He's not a leader though that's for sure.

Don't know why he utilises his qualities so poorly for us. World record fee which is the equivalent of 150/180 million now, and these are the performances we get.

Either he has no clue about how to perform as a box to box midfielder or he's not playing for Mourinho. He just gets out worked by more mobile midfielders willing to put in a shift.

Would look like a superstar at any other club unfortunately. Wrong club at the wrong time for him. No wonder he wants out. Even if he was running around aimlessly and showing more effort we still would have lost 3-0. His attitude is crap but he would light up La Liga for Barca. We will never see the best out of him consistently with Jose. Doesn’t matter who he has to “free him up” if his behind the striker or deep it ain’t going to work.

His pass into touch from three yards on South stand side during the first half having received the ball under no pressure really was the work of a superstar.

He is a complete donkey, totally flatters to deceive and could not give a sh*t about our team or club.

I don't think he'll ever flourish in England. He can't be man managed at all, after the Leicester game he should have had a seat on the pine and rested up for this game but the utter wank he made about their mentality and all that other rubbish. For goodness sake man if you don't want to be here just bugger off. So frustrating for such a talented guy.

I mean, if he was the only one rubbish it'd be something. The team constantly looks crap under José bar the odd game where one or two individuals stand out. Like Pogba against Arsenal and City last year. When was the last time our whole team (bar one or two) were excellent? I can only think of Liverpool at home last year.

I won't call for his head until we play like a team and he still plays bad. In a team, he excels. Like for Juventus and France. Sadly, I think he'll leave before we get our act together.

This. He'll flourish playing with good players in a good team ala Juve. He's just not consistent enough to carry a shoddy outfit like ours, certainly not at the moment. He might become this player at his peak.

Surprised some are still to give excuses for him.

After he did well againat Leicester, he used that as a chance to come bitching in the media and saying he can't talk otherwise he'll be fined, then followed this by 2 disastroua peformances, in between he talked about his attitude not being right.

He has become very unlikable to say the least and left nohing for anyone to suppor after using a good performance to bitch in the media then enters his shite show mode the next 2 games.

WC win made *2 more prima donna than he was ever was. Should get rid.

Very poor performance. It's like he don't want to play for the club/manager anymore.

He looked quite disinterested, haven't really been a standout in anything, good nor bad. Don't think he wanna play for Mourinho no more.

Great analogy tbh. I somehow hoped that the WC would help him mature and realize that if he focuses, he can be a big player but some causes are just lost. He's like a teen, playing an immature brand of football.

He's mentally checked out of the team. I don't know if a change of manager would motivate him enough or not. Sell him, but not to Barsa.

If I was Woodie, I'd contact the Sheikh in Qatar and offered him a deal he couldn't refuse. Pogba +100 mill for Mbappé. That way we get a bonafide world class forward in return and Pogba can be a crowd pleaser in Paris. PSG gets a French star and a cash injection to face PFF in the following years.

Disgraceful performance last night again. You can clearly see he either doesnt want to be here, or doesnt want to play for this manager. His constant giving the ball away and over hitting passes.

Would Mbappe accept to come here tho? This ain't NBA, players gotta agree to move.

He cares about the club and the fans? Does he fek. Wouldn't mind to see the back of him. Highlight reel player basically who thinks he's done it all and is bigger than the club.
