Just watched Solskjær commenting on it. Says he’s injured again and we won’t see him for a while. You could see Solskjær knew he wasn’t being honest and you could see how uncomfortable he was with that.

No wonder SAF went for Rafael and Park instead of him, the gaffer was right as always.

Sooner him and his circus is gone the better.

He will either go now or in the summer. As i said in the summer/at the start of the season, if someone coughs up a decent fee, which will happen i guess, then he will be off. Hope we invest the money wisely. He is not going to stay here past this season going by his and Mino's behaviour. It was obvious from the start, only the deluded ones didnt want to realise when he said he wanted a new challenge, that he wants out as soon as possible. Real didnt pay up in the summer, so he stayed here.
No club will pay him what we do.

He is finished as a top level footballer.

Barca,Real etc wouldnt touch him with a barge pole.

PSG are the only team who might take him on at 300k a week.

Stats that only suit him?

ManUtd 2018-2019 season
Most goals: Pogba 13
Most assists: Pogba 9
Most shots on target: Pogba 50
Most take-ons: Pogba 60
Most fouls won: Pogba 69
Most chances created: Pogba 55
Most possession won: Pogba 218
Most passes into final 1/3: Pogba 321
Most duels won: Pogba 234

The evidence is there, its so overwhelming that its incredible some people still claim we aren’t seeing the best of Pogba, he plays in a team thats shit, that doesn’t make him shit.
Great players lift everyone around them and make "the shit players" better. The problem with Pogba is that as great as he can be, he is too inconsistant. This is why Shaw got POTY last year. Even if you looked through the match ratings on here last year Shaw was the highest ranked. That's because for every 8 that Pogba had he also had some 3's to follow it up. Meanwhile Shaw was a steady 7. So yes, Pogba is our most talented player however he doesn't show that talent in every game which was evident when he got played off the field by Mark fecking Noble...

It's proper annoying. I was one of the people who kept coming on here to defend him but it's taking the piss. Should have gone in the summer really, you can't keep a player against their will anymore. I just hope we get a good fee

Other top clubs pay a lot as well, the Spanish ones and PSG, even Juve pay a lot of salary these days. And no, he isnt finsihed at all.

The question is how much money can we get for him. I can only see him at Real, PSG or Juve, so lets hope someone offers us a decent amount.

Anyone know if he owns a house or rents?

There's one of those 'I know no one has any reason to believe me but my dad's friend is a retired famous sportsman whose house Pogba is renting and they were talking the other day about how Pogba has given his notice' posts on Reddit.

Calm down guys. We don’t even know whether he’s really injured or no.

None of them seem interested at all.

If they were his agent would be telling us all about it.

Just feck him out of the club. He’s been a disastrous signing more or less from start to finish. Will flop wherever he goes. Talented but with completely the wrong attitude.

I didn't see it but if the quote about 'he feels something, and will be out for a few weeks' is genuine, then even by just going from Solskjaer's phrasing, it's clear that this is bullshit. How would he know if he's out for a few weeks if it's just Pogba who feels something? Not to mention that last week he was ill, then just missed a game for no particular reason.

Can’t help but think that Raiola has been in his ear.

Whatever the truth is, it’s time to move him on and find his replacement.Unlikely but I’m on board with the idea of getting some kind of swap deal in place for Ødegaard. Failing that someone like Havertz.
People are getting this all wrong. If that fat shit is talking shit, it's not because he wants to talk shit, it's because he's been told to talk shit. Pogba's been employing this funny tactics with Raiola and his family when you've had his brother(s) talking shit about our club or Mourinho. This way his hands are clean, he's the good guy and all that. We should've removed the virus alongside Mourinho to cleanse this team.

Watching Ole you could tell that something wasn't right.
Same injury... no time frame for return.

True like that team he pretty much looked like we was getting Haaland. Was it that look?

Finished as a top level footballer? How about an over reaction.

Without any match fitness he came back into the team and was multiple levels above any other player on the pitch. Pogba is way too good to be finished as a top level player.

I wouldnt be suprised if he joined a good team he would be mentioned as one of the best midfielder in the world again...

Need to move on and plan without Pogba.

If he stays great, but we need a plan that doesn’t include him in it.

I don’t see Madrid buying him unless they sold Kroos.

If he’s injured he’s injured. Bloody hell.
If he is injured again then we have big problem because injury prone players aren't a good thing and it may be time to fleece someone. Though Robben was injury prone and still worth it.

It's very telling that Pogba's refusing to put a muzzle on his dog. I refuse to believe Raiola opens his gob without approval from his client. He'd be a shit agent otherwise.

This is almost an exact replica of the Lukaku situation, his days are numbered. Expect him to constantly moan and bitch to the media afterwards as well about how he was wronged by Evil United.

My theory is this.
Pogba wants to leave but he wants the team to take the fall. Mino is directly attacking the board and Ed. At some point, they will want to get rid of the source. Then Pogba will stick by his claim that he wanted to stay but they forced him out.

Ps: Or maybe he is just injured.. Like every other injured player.

Wonder if the Haland alleged briefing tipped the balance.

I doubt it. Probably just confirmation it's January. Could be ankle injury or him starting to dig his heels in for a move. Said before I'd like him to stay, but it's 4 years almost, United have been poor and I'd take ~90 million. We aren't getting 150m but shouldn't be beaten down to 50 fecking million by the fecks at Madrid.

When Maddison will clearly cost more than Maguire did, we certainly can't afford to let him go for a silly fee.

If he's truly injured then he needs to lay low for a while, stop showing up here, there, and everywhere, and stop his agent talking so much, if he's playing us for fools then just continue as he is doing.

Honestly wouldn’t care if I had belief we’d replace him well or at all. Don’t believe in the club at all though when it comes to transfers.
Strange. Since Ole’s been in charge we’ve not made a dud signing yet.

Glad i'm not the only one who got the same vibe out of Ole.

Odds are he's gone.

Probably for the best, all parties involved.

If we get a decent offer we should get rid. Terrible investment.
He wants to go to Madrid or maybe Turin. Cannot see either real nor Juventus paying a lot for him. They can rely on the fact that the player is doing the right noises to force the club to sell him.

No doubting the quality of the player. If he finds the club/city/country where he wants to play, and who are prepared to meet his demands, and the transfer fee, then yes he can feck off. Just sucks to know we are on the verge of losing an incredible footballer.
