What I said has got nothing to do with what I want or don't want - it was a prediction about what will happen i.e. Pogba will not move.
As for my personal opinion, I don't see what selling Pogba could possibly have to do with a project to "clear out the crap" given that he is one of the world's best midfielders. More generally, I am wary of setting up some simplistic worldview of players who really want to be here versus players would would accept a move away. In reality probably pretty much every player currently at this Man United (who finished in 6th place and aren't in the Champions League) could be made to think about their future if they thought they were wanted by Zidane at Real Madrid. Do you think that Wan-Bissaka or Maguire wouldn't consider jumping ship if they were told Real Madrid were in for them? If being immune to that is a criterion for being kept then we're going to have to build a squad entirely of die hard United fans. And also means that any time RM come knocking we have to give up whichever player they fancy.
Just because a player is temped by a move doesn't mean that they are somehow toxic. de Gea agreed to join Real Madrid four years ago and has been a great keeper for us since. Ronaldo signalled he fancied a move to Madrid well before he went and it didn't seem to do us any harm to keep him around for a bit longer. Cantona wanted a move in '95 but we didn't just flog him - Ferguson convinced him to stay, and I don't remember that working out too badly either.
This attitude that United only have room for players who want to be here above all else and are totally impossible to tempt into a move away strikes me as unrealistic and a bit juvenile, to be honest. Especially at a time when we are not, in a playing sense, one of the top sides in the world.
Not sure why (or how) you conclude that it's
'juvenile' to consider the problems for a club to have players, and in this case, an extremely important player, who has stated that they feel it may be time to move on. I think that is a worry. The situation(s) with De Gea, Cantona (which I do not recall him wanting to leave the club, rather get away from football..) and Ronaldo made an agreement to stay another season, so that was a mutually accepted decision.
Pogba's situation is not like that, and simply stating that 'all players may be interested in playing for Real under Zidane..' takes a very specific sitiation, and attempts to suggest this as simply another rumour about another player.
And it certainly is not.
No one ever stated anything about players only being here if they could never be tempted to go elsewhere. That's a bizarre statement, please do not suggest that I made such a claim. My thoughts and concerns are specific to the role Paul pogba has in a team that is in transition, and is pretty fragile in many ways. So, to repeat myself, no, I do not think it is good to have this ongoing debate about any player. This is my point re 'clearing the crap'. It has not a thing to do with his talent. I doubt there is anyone who admires his (Pogba's) talents more than I. But this rhetoric, this 'will he stay or leave...' narrative, is unhealthy and needs clarification. Manchester United FC should just sit and 'hope' he stays?
referring to your first point, I will make sure that I do not ask your opinion (on a public forum..??) again, as you claim that what you think is not important as a consideration.
