No one says he went against Ole's wishes by going Miami. But when Ole says he would rather his players more boring, its undeniably against those instructions when you're snapping with A listed celebs and shooting hoops in major stadiums. It's not even a debate. You can point to others who did wrong but that doesn't make Pogba's post any more right.
It’s poor form if Ole thinks the posts were a problem. Pogba has a great relationship with Ole, and there hasn’t been the slightest indication that they were at odds over it.
Got it, I misread that sentence. But that's beside the point that I made people acting badly towards our players doesn't mean that they are doing it the same way for all players and it doesn't mean that sometimes it's not totally irrational. As @Rozay mentioned, De Gea not only tried but was on the verge of leaving, he also tried to squeeze as much money as he could when he finally decided that he was going to stay but people aren't really on his back 24/7 or questioning his morality, which is by the way totally fine for me, he is a professional footballers they have careers to manage and money to make.
Why would Ole openly say it's a problem? At the end of the day he went against the manager instructions and despite you suggesting it wasnt contraversial, it certainly did attract contraversy.
That is a serious level of mental gymnastics from Marcotti. When a player says something along the lines of "who knows what could happen in the next couple of months" it's so blatantly obvious what he's trying to say. Even the host called him out on it with that answer.
I disagree. The posts were nothing, and to be fair, were generally treated as such. The only questions I’ve seen of it are from a few online conspiracy theorists who can’t compute beyond ‘if he’s injured, why is he in Miami?’. As for the club, they don’t have such questions and probably have no concerns. Why on Earth would Ole think ‘you’re making it hard for me’ because he took a pic with Pharrell.
Marcotti may be right but so too could the rest of the pundits. In the beginning it was mentioned that Pogbas comments were adding fuel to the fire which is something I agree with. Maybe I'm wrong but personally I don't think Pogba is that naive to think his comments wouldn't have ramifications and can be interpreted in different ways when the most sensible reply would of been, I'm a Manchester United player period, instead of adding some subliminal message which was said to provoke reactions.
It's not though, he was asked about the future with Mourinho, he said that his own future was with Manchester United but that you never know what can happen in the future. The problem here is that people completely ignored the question.
There is no may or may not, the other pundits are literally using fabricated quotes.
I'm only going by what Marcotti says as you mentioned we should listen to his take.. and Marcotti says he was asked "where do you see your future and why do you think Manchester United are doing so bad right now". Marcotti says he answered "My future is with Manchester United but lets see what happens in a couple of months".
Fabricated? How so? I see in your reply to VP89 that Pogba didn't mention anything about, "the next couple of months."
I referred to the basketball point. You can tell Ole was uncomfortable replying to that presser, he said a bizzare thing like "you can't twist your ankle playing basketball" or something similar. It was really uneasy to watch and yes, Pogba didn't make it easy for him. Besides, when did I take offence? I'm just saying it's poor form to go against manager instructions. And Ole can have a say on what his players do and don't post.
Yes. We have to remember that with football agents, it is all about posturing.
Gary Neville is so bad
And as Marcotti said he isn't talking about his future, he was asked questions about his relationship with Mourinho and the disappointing results, he answered diplomatically and then the journalist asked if he imagines his future with Mourinho, that's when he answered that his future is with Manchester United and that outside of that you don't know what the future is made about(that's the closest translation to his terrible grammar). He basically tries to dodge the question.
He needs to go see a psychiatrist. He's off his rocker.
It is marca
Just went to post this. feck me.
I'm not implying anything of the sort. Just saying how yer man is firing low blows by trying to fall back on the racism card. When it is very clear that there has been no racism whatsoever in this thread. Dunno which penalty you're talking about tbh, there's been a few missed penalties.
How can you say the hate is being driven by race? Can you show me some examples of that please? I honestly have never seen anything of the sort on here. The mods here are possibly the best mods on any forum on the internet and would never allow such shit! Rooney got just as much shit on here...maybe even more...was thats driven by race too?
He’s MotM in the poll but a country mile, which tells you. Best player on the pitch by an utter mile.
And for some reason Utd fans boo'd him at the end of the game.
Folks were genuinely arguing that McTominay is a better player for us after the return news broke
Personally think he should have squared it to Rashford at the back post rather than shoot, was not the best choice.
Lingard's was far more difficult. further out traveling at speed. defender closing from the left stopping the angle change for a slot. Pogba's was pretty simple with a large area to aim at plus as you say he had simple square option. One of his only poor moments in his cameo but a very important one.
No United fans booed him you silly billy
He was booed at the end of the match going over to the clap the fans
This is why its hard to take Gary Neville seriously. His hate for Pogba is just pathetic.
