Herrera is committed to United and bleeds red. Pogba should be more like him.
That right?
Bleeds red and let his contract run down, fecking the club to the tune of at least 20-30m

I wanted Ander to stay, but the love in on here is getting out of hand. He was offered a deal he said no, he obviously doesn’t love the club as much as we all thought.

I'm sorry
For something that I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I don't know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was born
Guilty of being white

I'm a convict
Of a racist crime
I've only served
Nineteen years of my time

Oh, and go feck yourself
What a shit poem, if I can call it that.

Fellaini was booed, but please show me an example where match going supporters verbally abused him to this extent after a match.
Have you ever been up in the Stretford End? I have been going for a few years and I have seen some shit but I have never seen so much hatred for one of our own.

Pogba just said that he liked Zidane and Real Madrid was a dream for every players but he's happy here after a journalist asked him about the rumors of Zidane wanting him in Madrid.. I don't see where he's flirting with others teams...

But if he was white or a black english man, maybe you would have been more honest...

And Pogba runs a lot on the pitch while being one of the most creative player in the world. I don't think that he runs less than Eriksen for example.
His running stats are well behind Eriksen I think. Eriksen is near the top in the league for distance covered.

I have been to OT but not the Stretford end. Ive heard all manner of expletives being yelled, but never seen it anything like this upclose and in a players face.

Pretty sure he gave his shirt to a fan, but continue criticising him for being topless.
Fair point and I’ve no issue with that at all. But why’s he stood there with his hands on his hips like he’s some sort of god or a statue? Give shirt to fan, give a kiss and a thumbs up and walk off don’t stand there to be worshipped? I’m not a hater of his but it goes back to the whole body language thing and how you act and behave.

Its bullshit, because people who write shit like this pretend racism doesn't exist in 2019. feck right off
You’re yapping around like a helpless little dog, settle down, relax.
No one is saying that racism doesn’t exist in 2019, that’s not what that is about.
But if someone is going to claim i have a problem with people based on their color I’ll call them out on it.

Apologize to your team mates and managers for not tracking back and losing your markers.

9.96km vs Eriken's 10.41km on average, according to premierleague.com
Eriksen has played less minutes though, probably due to being able to rotate in Spurs' squad.

Looking for the answers...
Urgh, it genuinely sickens me to see our fans be verbally disgusted with our players like that.

I’m not saying our players shouldn’t be criticised, but I hate to see us in this position!

This is what they all do, manager included.

We play shit, get fecking battered then the manager and players feed us what we want to hear.

'It's not good enough'
'We must do better'
'The United way'

They give zero fecks, but they're fecking brilliant at telling us what we want to hear.

I remember posters on here thinking the fan Evra kicked in Marseilles deserved what he got, and how horrible the Marseilles fans were for abusing him before the game. Our own fans have done the same to a player in a red shirt today, but it doesn't matter because Pogba is a figure of hate

Why do people constantly act surprised (or play the race card) when Pogba ends up as the lightening rod for criticism of this poxy squad of players?

He was the £100m man. Coming home to put us back up on that fecking perch. Instead, he ended up representing everything that’s rotten at this club. Best paid players in the league showing off fancy haircuts and dance moves on Instagram while relegation candidates outwork and outfight us, week after week after week.

Even his style of play fuels the fires. He may or may not be lazy but he definitely looks lazy with the way he spends so much time walking and so often fails to track back when he’s dispossessed. And when everything goes to shit the very least that fans expect from the team is to put a fecking shift in.

And the cherry on top? Doing the same clumsy flirting with Real Madrid we endured when “CR7” got bored of life in Manchester.

None of this means he isn’t our best player. Or that he’s incapable of playing well. Or even that the criticism is deserved. But it is understandable. Genuinely baffled at how anyone can’t wrap their heads round something so obvious.

He doesn't deserve to be a scapegoat which is clearly what that was.
He's not a scapegoat though and that's the difference in our views. He's as much problem as others, maybe even bigger problem because he has the most quality of them.

You're making assumptions.
He looks like he's in a state of shock rather than attempting to look like a God, hence the nervous smiles. He also put his hands together like a prayer and gestured towards the fans, which is a sign of respect/sorrow in some cultures too.

Pogba's skin colour is absolutely irrelevant and should not have been brought into this thread.
I brought it in because its something I recognize. Im not hiding it im airing it out, you don't have to agree, its fine

He does get scapegoated unfairly a lot but like all top footballers he is a massive bell end which only makes the problem worse.

Unfortunately, I think that end of season outburst will result in Pogba leaving and we will be in a bigger mess than we already are. There are few players we should keep - one of them is going (Ander), and another one is the perrinial scapegoat.

Mourinho and the press have succeeded.

What a dark time this is being a united fan, I don’t remember our club ever having this much hatred.

This’ll probably be the tipping point for him to leave and I don’t blame him tbh.

Let’s just sign a runner and hope the likes of Lingard can do all the creating :)

And how does 9.96 km compare to the rest of the squad?
Only makes sense to compare with other midfielders - and he's second only to Matic who averaged 11.16km - however Pogba played 600 minutes more.

This whole episode (from that one video) is a bit farcical if you ask me. It's quite obvious in my eyes that Pogba wasn't apologising and if anything he was taking the piss! That being said, those abusing him are idiots of the highest order; without Pogba we'd be lucky to finish in the top half of the table. No one deserves to be abused in that manner even if the person on the receiving end is a millionaire superstar.

Pogba acting all weird, braindead fans... it's farcical and it's sad. Just like the current state of our beloved football club.

Either way, Pogba will be fine.
We need him more than he needs us, that is the situation basically and he knows it.
He probably loves the club to some extent but not enough to sacrifice the better years of his career scrapping for 6th place.

The best players in the league are black, the top 3 goal scorers are all African, it’s nothing to do with race.

I can understand you saying that about the treatment Sterling has got, but Pogba has simply been because he came here as arguably the biggest name in the league and hasn’t lived up to his promise.
