Why do you need to bring Mourinho into this. Pogba has asked to leave and has been mouthing of since the season started. Let's say we sack Jose and things don't pick up right away with the new manager. How much time is Pogba gonna give to us fans until he decides to leave again? He's theoretically one of our best players but many times he plays like a highlight reel player.
You are treating this as if he wants to leave purely because we are not winning trophies, but there could be more to it, Mourinho is a sour arsehole most of the time, I can't imagine being under his scapegoating management is a great experience, nor is playing his dreck football. Mourinho has treat plenty of players like shit and gotten away with it, there's just one now that is standing up to him, is he going the right way about it? Maybe not, but before this Pogba was fine at Juve, none of this drama, Mourinho is a one man circus wherever he goes, he brings this kind of thing with him yet somehow Pogba is being shit on by our own fans when the last interview he gave simply was him saying the very thing most of us say after nearly every match regarding how this team is coached to play football.

Glazers will be a bit stretch as they'll never leave, and I can go with them as owners. Woodward can join the rest out of the club though.
They will at some point mate, but will be to some other money maker rather than someone like the red knights unfortunately.

I think Pogba really loves this club and wants to be a club legend at United, thats thats one reason why he is stepping up, just like all of us, he understands that Mourinho needs to go. Its not exactly rocket science, especially at this point where we can no longer beat mid table teams.

Pogba isnt just some mercenary IMO, he loves this club. But truth to be told, what the hell is the board doing? How is Mourinho not sacked yet?

He won't go for less than 120m.since he came I have been a massive critic. Honestly though, in the last few months he has shown maturity on the pitch in being a leader. Some of the passing and touches he does is world class. His problem is consistency and discipline. Both of these I believe you learn from a manager. I'm not saying Jose is not capable, i actually think pogba has lost respect for him. With another manager Pogba will be twice the player which is why I do not want him to leave. Zidane could be the perfect manager for him.

Dude...I cant link articles here cuz Im a new member but even when Pogba was in Italy he had an interview where he said he still loved United but he's impatient.
It actually makes sense right now given what he's doing here with this whole Mourinho thing. He loves the club and he's impatient.
Impatience isnt a terrible thing either for a top player. Funny, just today LeBron said the same thing about himself. Greats are supposed to be impatient and all about winning all the time.

Mourinho on the other hand? Remember his heritage BS speech where he trashed the club after the Sevilla debacle he was solely responsible for? Fck Mourinho!

Did he love the club when he left a few years back ?

Oh come on. He wants to play in Spain, always has done. We were never getting more than three seasons out of him - this was the plan from the beginning.

90m£ wasted on a player that will only have been here for 3 seasons untill he goes. He was supposed to be our main man for the future when we signed him and now he has fallen out with the manager. When he does go they better make sure we get 150m£ minimum, sick and tired of this whole story but something needs to be done. We have a manager who is failing badly and our most expensive player wants out, the only thing I wonder is would he still want to leave if Mourinho got sacked? I have a feeling the answer to that question would be yes.

I mean, if this was his plan all along then he's wasted as a footballer... he's a bloody criminal mastermind.

I’m tired of him, but he’s wasting his career here. I don’t blame him for wanting to go to Spain.

Keep at all costs. Even if that means the manager going. He’s irreplaceable.
He is our best player, but if we can get a massive amount for him, we could get 2-3 quality players in, like Inter did with Ibra. Which the new manager can buy in the summer.

This is how I feel now. He should be a centerpiece in the exciting post-Fergie era, but he's probably looking around him and asking the same questions of the club that we are here. It must feel like working for Motorola when apple/google/etc. want you.

You need to keep Pogba at all cost. If you lose him you'll be in deep shit. For me, he's the only world class player in your team.

Ship out half of the team and build the team around him.

Was reported at the time and since that he wanted Spain after Juve. Raiola persuaded him to go to United for three seasons first (massive payday) and that he'd get him his move to Spain at the end of season three.

Not exactly the stuff of criminal masterminds. More like mediocre Bond villains perhaps. Anyway, Pogba has gone a long way to make his continued existence at United untenable. Summer move definitely on the cards now.

No. He was offered bigger cash in Juve and he took it first chance. If he loved United that much he wont leave and opt to stay under Fergie. What kind of love that he jump the ship and he called it impatient for first team chances. Hindsight is a good thing and history is in Pogba side but i doubt back then he was that much in love about United when he signed with Juve
His demeanour this season not help one bit. He dislike Jose so he wants him out but his performance doesnt reflect he is love United that much. Playing for the club then if not for your manager. How can you say he is love United when on the pitch he is not give his best for the suppose his loved club.
Thats what i see wrong in Pogba. For all his talk he just doesnt do all the walk so far. Same goes with Jose. And if both of them really wants the best for United maybe they should shut off their mouth for a while.

Or ship him out for a massive fee, and get in 3 quality players instead.

It doesnt matter how many quality players we bring in if we are going to stick them behind the ball in possession at all times.
We played Derby at home and had 6 players behind the ball in possession at all times. Maybe 5 if I am generous.
I have always said that Mourinho needs to play his his game until he is fecked out of OT, but tonight was just ridicilous. It has nothing to do with the players, its a cowardly way to approach a game at home against an inferiour team.
I am ashamed.

Like you did with Ronaldo when this shit period started for your club? Nah man, keep him and get other world class players in. This current thing you're doing doesn't seem to be working.

I was talking about the new manager getting his players in the summer, if Mourinho leaves.

How about Inter when they sold Ibra? They got some pretty good players out of that money, which enabled them to win the CL.

It doesn't always work out, but sometimes it does.

To be fair with Ronaldo we sold him and didnt reinvest the money (we bought Valencia, obertan and Owen when we sold Ronaldo...). That was the time where the glazers were fleecing us and Fergie keeping us afloat. Now we would certainly reinvest, just probably poorly

Do you honestly believe that?
These people on the caf acting like bitter boyfriends dumped by their hot ex girlfriends and pretending everything is cool and no big deal. "She wasn't even that pretty anyways".

Coping mechanism.

I'm not buying it, but as long as Mourinho is the coach, I don't blame him. Just saw Mourinho's comments about Jones and Bailly and United being in trouble as soon as he saw them go up to take a penalty....that's just such low class move by a coach. He's the real locker room cancer.

Pogba would have never stayed here long term anyway. Raiola would never let him do that and he's too marketable to not get tracked by La Liga Giants. He will leave sooner or later. Barca did with him what they did with Coutinho. It's inevitable. Maybe if he had a different agent...

We better be preparing for his replacement from now on or we will be in crap position comes next summer when the inevitable occurs.
