He looked really good until he started dicking about with it in the second half. It's been said a million times about him keeping it simple, he just tries to do everything by himself at times, so frustrating.

Was excellent for a long period of time and it was easy to see how much more class he has. Looked comfortable and quick and effortless in execution. We collectively obviously decided to let go of that in the later part of the match and he suffered and faded away as well, but still would be the best player today.

Magnificent, that one pass with the outside of his right to Sanchez in the first half was outrageous.

Good game today and seemed fairly upbeat, he's pretty much the only starter that makes us watchable at all right now.

Amazing passing today, played great then with the game won in his head he started to play self indulgently, didn't understand that Watford were not giving up and by the time he realized the game was still on Utd were in a difficult position.

PP in a nutshell really.

Brilliant today i thought. So dangerous when we're breaking - he's got such a long stride he just eats up the ground.

Mixed performance for me today.
A few decent shots which he was probably unlucky not to get at least one from.
When we're all playing well as a team he's good, but when the chips are down I feel he struggles, he's been like that since he came really.

Loses the ball after a half-arsed attempt at dribbling near the end in their box and reacts as if he's just hit the crossbar from half-way line, not even being bothered to jog back, let alone chase them. Not the only time during this one game alone. Needs to cut it and dig deep when we're defending one-goal lead near the end. Fecking Lukaku busted a gut tracking back the whole length of the pitch in the last minutes and he's a striker.

Some good things but still think he coasts through our games too much. Too casual.

To good to play with average players like Sanchez. I agree with Raiola...

Sometimes he's good and gets too relaxed when he sees everything is going good for him. Then he tries to be too smart so to say and over complicates.

Still a United fan?
I mean with that oaf of Lukaku up front?
Lukaku the oaf, Fellaini the dendroid (MOTM btw) and Valencia the one-legged cretin. Good job we've got our majestic Pogba otherwise no point watching us.

Fair play he managed to find a positive today I must say.

Some good bits, but his football brain should be telling him not to fanny around when we are 2-1 up with 10 minutes to go.

Can't be bothered with trolls trying to fish for a response tonight mate, I'll be a fan long after both Lukaku and Mourinho are distant memories, and I have barely said much about Lukaku for ages, so at least use Fellaini or Young in your bait.

For me he was truly majestic in the first half, but lacked a bit of fire in the second half and seemed like he was only truly arsed when he was on Watford's half or near their box, which didn't exactly help us.

Or when he plays well, team plays well. When his form dips or struggles in games, no one can step up.

Ok. Will use Fellaini and Young in the future.
Good on you for being a fan still.

I didn't see that today, when Watford played their best stuff we still had good performances, just Pogba dropped a couple of levels.
It's just the type of player he is, for better or worse.

Looked a class act when he kept it simple and worked hard. He really would be world class if he cut out the fancy bits.

Where can you get a unique world class midfielder like him (and not yet playing for big clubs) ? Like @haram said, Mbappe or Neymar swap, or they can feck off.

It's the equivalent of drooling over one pass and totally ignoring the countless times the opposite players were running at us with him not being arsed to pretend tracking back. You get the extremes on here. Truth is he's been brilliant in patches but irresponsible and lazy in some. We can't afford to be such right now when we need to rack up the points badly so the moment he cuts it, he'll only have acolytes.

Until we sign another player you don't like. Then you'll declare you're going to stop watching us until they are sold. And yet here you are, still pretending to be a fan.

He was very good.

Though he did start 'showboating' too much towards the end.

Some exceptional passing.

Honestly, that's pretty much applicable to most footballers. Listened to Real fans curse Ronaldo despite his achievements. I think like Pogba, the team and with Jose, we are searching for consistency in our play but for me all I look for is improvement and I can see that in his performances.

Judging by his latest tweet it's clear he'll only stay at United if he's constantly cuddled. A clear dig at Mourinho's lack of hugs that.

Was very good most of the game but he complicates things way too much. If he's in the attacking third and with space and time to think, more often than not seems to feck it up because he tries to overdo it. But was a good game anyway. More of the same please.

Brilliant performance throughout. First half his passing was sublime, was a threat higher up the pitch. Second half got back in sat in shape and did his job but was also the outlet to take the team forward. Played numerous outstanding passes which mostly were wasted by Lukaku. Ok he lost the ball a couple of times and a couple of passes missed the target but I'm sorry that's true of all players.

The scrutiny on Pogba is ridiculous

Some players here will never be liked by some and he's one of them. Rom is not far behind him. Some on here will always focus on what they don't do and not what they can, even in the victory.
