Time after time and Pogba never shuts up. He is the the only player who keep fecking talking. Just shut the feck up or feck off already. It's getting bored now really. Every one should get behind the team ffs and stop fecking drama. He is a god damn employee.
What's Mourinho? An honorary member or something?

Jose got him in! People complaining wanting Pogba for years and crying about Fergie selling him are just as bad.
Jose probably thought he'd matured. Honest mistake I guess.

FWIW I didn't want him here for the price we paid. :wenger:

For the betterment of United in the long run, sell Pogba and Sack Jose. It's not like we are going to win anything with these 2 at the club anyway. Might as well do it now and then get a manager who likes to keep the ball on the ground and has some semblance of attacking flair.

Pogba went on, stopped the journos deliberately to tell them he's not the manager and can't say but the team should be attacking more. When he was asked about it he said they should be asking someone else not him, after stopping the journos on his own.

Meanwhile, Mourinho told journos that Ed is trying his best for him, he gave him list of names and see what will happen, if he can't get him players, we'll have to keep fighting and believing in what we had.

If you seriously believe both are similar then again I can't do any more than what I did. I brought real quotes. I compared both. If you want to interpret it the way you want then it's not my problem.

Just because a myth is said somewhere here, doesn't mean it's a fact.
What is wrong with that? Pogba said he's not the manager but he feels the team is should attacking more. Said nothing about Mourinho. The implications only become clear when you try and read between the lines.

Similarly, Mourinho's feels he needs 2 more players but he doesn't know if its possible even though he gave his list 'months ago'. Whenever Mourinho's been asked about transfers, he keeps telling them to 'ask the CEO'. Nothing wrong with it until you start to read between the lines.

Anyway I've feel like I'm sticking up for Pogba tonight when that's the last thing I want to do. He's a twat, and so is Mourinho. What grates my nerves is people blindly loving one over the other.

Rooney would have spent the past few years in Chelsea had Fergie stayed for one more season. Only Ed and Moyes were the reasons of him staying.
Should’ve known Jose had lost it back then when he wanted Rooney for Chelsea.

If I were Mourinho I would make him captain the next match he plays, even if the stories were true. Just to stick it to them.
No chance Mourinho is letting the press dictate who tge captain is.

What even is all this shit? When did the relationship between Mourinho and Pogba detoriate? What was the catalyst? It all seems to happen so quickly.

Again the reading between the lines thing. The guy stopped the journos to literally throw the manager names in his quotes without anyone asking. Before the game Lukaku had an interview and said similar things, that we should "attack attack attack" but he didn't mention the manager at all. Pogba stopped the journos to throw a dig about the manager. He could have literally said we should attack more without saying "I'm not the manager so I can't say. You have to ask someone".

And then you're still dissecting Mourinho quotes taking half of them and ignoring the other half in which he literally, literally said Ed is doing the best for him.

I give up, mate. Enjoy the match and have a good night.

Washed up manager with crap attitude accompanied with a player with the ego of Steven Segal. No matter what way you look at it the relationship between these two were destined to never work out.

Pogba's never said anything directly negative about the manager. Ever. He's too smart. If anything, he has thanked the manager publicly and that can be quoted verbatim, if only you didn't leave it out.

And I'm not sure about all this 'stopping the journos', sounds like twitter BS to me.

Ronaldo said he was a slave to United and you dont think thats him showing us disrespect? Oh my.

People forgave and ignore it because Ronaldo was great for us before he left. But please dont say he didn’t disrespect.
RM came calling Ronaldo wanted to go to his boyhood club and made that clear Fergie asked him for another year Ronaldo agreed that and shut up and gave us another fantastic season.
The fact that fergie and Ron are still so close shows that they respected each other you can not compare the situation with current day Pogba .
Fergie still loves Ron , the fans still love Ron. Pogba is a self indulgent ego maniac who is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is

Fed up of Pogba's attitude on and off the pitch, would gladly see the back of him before Jose. The mistake against Wolves is something he's capable of every time he's on the pitch, just too much arrogance on the ball. There's a time and place for a pirouette in that area of the pitch, it's when you're 5 fecking nil up, not 1-0. Getting rid would mean Lingard could play centrally, which would mean infinitely better pressing and I've no doubt he would prove his doubters wrong going forward as he's simply not a wide player.

I have my issues with Pogba's performances but he's just won the World Cup with France as one of their key players, scoring in the final. If he didn't think very highly of himself at this point I'd be a bit surprised.

Pogba has been running his mouth to the press too much lately.

At this point i'd be glad to see both of these feckers leave. I'm not really commenting on the veracity of this particular story, but there's been more than enough sniping from both over the past few months that i've had enough with. It's a full on PR assault from the both of them, each trying to butter up the fans and get in their good graces.

They don't give a flying feck about the club, and are in self-preservation mode. The club's a bit of a circus at the moment, and these two feckers are our clowns. Pricks.
This sums up this saga pretty well. I said it when this situation first blew up last season that i would be happy to see the back of both of them. Neither any good for the club. Get rid and move on, but definitely Pogba first.

ESPN sources have been awful for the past year or so regarding us.

I don't know if I'd buy this story.

Pogba is just a player and players will always come and go. The most valuable thing for the club is stability (or it bloody well should be) and that means backing the manager as much as the majority don't want it.
Sure, but if the manager isnt good enough, the manager isnt good enough.

He's the one constantly jerking around with the ball, getting caught up with three players around him...playing hollywood passes just for the sake of it, playing like crap in 5 games out of ten, and HE gets the ballz to call out the manager??!

feck being the captain, i'd fecking tell the team he wouldnt play again till he gets his shit together.

Same goes for Alexis, but at least he has the decency of not mouthing off.

fecking primadonnas, we should be getting 8 out of 10 games world class, instead we're talking bout his "talent" and shit....not seeing it at all.

Jose should implement a complete silenzio stampa, no fecking instagrams, no fecking haircuts, no fecking pink jerseys.
fecking kardashians of football.

I want my old FOOTBALL CLUB BACK!!!

Sell Pogba. He was disrespectful to SAF, he is disrespectful to Jose. Some people stay morons forever. Get rid of him ASAP.

Jose Mourinho of all people saying "nobody is bigger than the club" is as ironic as it gets.

Tired of all this. Pogba is a petulant child that should have never gotten the armband in the first place and Mourinho is a drama queen that plays dross football and will lose the dressing room soon. I wouldn't lose any sleep if both of them were gone ... I want Manchester United back, not this tiresome circus.

He didn’t win the World Cup his team did Pogba would have you believe it’s all about him

They just copied the ESPN story again there is no named source so how can you believe it?

If every media outlet repeats the same made up story it's still a made up story
If Simon Stone puts his name to the story it's unlikely to just be copied from somewhere else.

If it's everywhere, it's more likely to be someone at the club briefing the press.

That usually suggests BBC have checked their sources about it.

But I obviously don’t know the inner workings.

Frankly, the catalyst is Pogba's agent who wanted to leverage the World Cup win into another mega money transfer with tens of millions in fees for his fat greedy self. Pogba is completely under his control and so is acting like a tit and mouthing off to the press so that the club will end up agreeing with most of the fans that talent or no talent the constant bloody drama is not worth it. He wants to be sold, preferably to Barca, but he wants to agitate his way out instead of simply asking for a transfer, apparently that's how the kids do it these days.

I just don't get the BBC is the gospel that people have . They have printed loads of crap . This is just another story with no sources .
