Nobody here saw him. That always stuck with me, nobody knew what type of player he was and posts on here were getting referenced in other forums asking did we ever see him play despite only having him 3 years prior.
Its why we had two years of arguments about his best position. Hell we still dont know
Many people saw him but a lot didn't listen and continued to think that he was the best all-round midfielder in the world. It was predictable that people would quickly get upset.

Nope but no midfielder was being a top consistent player at this UNited. Not De Bruyne not anyone. The team has been shite. Even then Pogba hasn't been half as bad as people say. Also, none would want to stick around either. Would you?

They just hate him. It is simple really. We got a million worse players. And so many of the things used to beat POgba with have ended up being a non-story disproven later.

Like wheres the hate for Matic, He was injured all season and talks about wanting to leave and likes posts about it on social media constantly. Was he faking an injury. Is he a virus. Is he everything wrong with the club. Will selling Matic be the magic fix. Was he holding us back?

Have some consistency at least.

But yeah I stand by my other comment. End of the day this is insignificant. Pogba doesn't matter. Whether he stays or goes. Neither will fix us. Neither will make us a good football team.

And there isn't much that would. Maybe we could be good again with the Glazers if Ed goes. But even then I doubt it. Look at there NFL team, we are a carbon copy of what happened to them. So at the end of the day all this energy put into Pogba was and is a colossal waste of time and a colossal disservice because pundits like Neville talk like he is some major problem that once sorted United can turn things around. But surely even you agree there is no evidence for that? We don't truly look interested in turning things around or rebuilding.

And while it sucks as none of us asked for this the fans are certainly culpable in it as they put next to no pressure on arguably the worst owners in world football when you consider are resources. Some might say but but we tried protesting before and it didn't work. True but isn't it much better to have your voice heard and have the media covering it every week than what we currently have. Maybe 5 or 6 years of continual protesting could do us some good. Maybe not but hey we know silence does nothing.
you're exaggerating things a bit. The hate part. Some give him unwarranted criticism for silly things but it's a problem when any criticism is branded a hate.

Not even France's, let's agree to disagree cause you're a huge Pogba fan it seems.
Who was Frances. It was Kante? He was good but didn't have his best tournament. Also had a terrible final, although I think he was "sick" so not really his fault but doesnt change the fact he was a liability that game. . So you think Matuidi was then?

I like Pogba, he gets too much slack. Wouldn't be my favorite players but I do defend him due to the hatred I see constantly.

He gets loads of hate though? Even match going fans. Minority sure but still a very vocal minority. See coming on versus Watford, getting booed and see the last game of last season. That isn't criticism.

Also, all the witch-hunting this season isn't criticism it could only be called irrational.

Kanté was by far the best midfielder for France, he had a great tournament.

Not a chance. Go rewatch the world cup without the ould rose tint. They worked very well together. Wouldn't have one the tourney without either. But even when Kante didnt play well, in the final, Pogba held his own no bother.

First word about him being booed vs Watford.
Witch hunting? Come on, it's not that dramatic..

Whole tournament can be summer up in one game? As I said we won't agree on that one.

Name me another player being constantly accused of faking despite there being no basis? And yeah he was booed, could hear on tv and a few of those fan channels ( Which i hate tbh) said so as well. Again a minority but a minority that was louder than those who applauded him coming on.

That sucks for any player. Funny thing was he might have been the only good thing about that terrible game.

I just wish our fans had the same consistency with everyone. Take the Valencia game at Old Trafford last season under Jose. I was there (Terrible Game) Anyway Jose was walking to the tunnel just as the whistle was being blown and for a split second, there was a lot of boos before immediately being drowned out by applause by our fans. Good that is tbh.

Shame though when Pogba comes on for his first game in months post having a real injury and is barely applauded and is boo'd by a minority. No attempt by other to drown it out. That is dissapointing is all.

If he’s pulling a fast one and making the most of it he’s definitely a liability.
There is literally no evidence of this, it is entirely speculation. It would also be pretty much unique in football history and once again there is no evidence of any value.

This season is the first time he's been accused of faking. And granted it shouldn't happen. I didn't see anywhere those boos being mentioned.

Players pulling fast ones? Doesn’t Neymar until he got called out it on it get himself suspended every year at the same time to go back to Brazil for a few weeks.

Pogba posts about Quran. Berated for it.

Image a catholic player being criticized for posting about Mass or something. Would never happen. This is all bit sickening.

Even if you can pick out one example of one other player who has done this in history, (and at that a total prick, with there being no evidence Pogba is so unpopular with his own squad)it still isn’t any proof Pogba has done it, and how exceptional it is is actually a point in favour of how unlikely it is to be happening.

Honestly, by this logic it is also what Phil Jones does.

Giggs is an absolute idiot. I’m so glad he’s not our manager and I hope he’s not involved with this club in any sort of capacity again.

Common knowledge players also do it for the Christmas holiday period - google it plenty of wink wink nudge nudge stuff out there.

Phil Jones can do what he wants as far I am concerned (prefer he left as well) as he isn’t leaving us short in defence. Pogba is leaving us short and seemingly doesn’t care looking at the post above.

That's pretty shocking tbh.
Just want this all to end now. Like it is too personal at this stage and it isnt right. When Pogba goes just hope it doesn't get to this stage with any other player.

People are right it is a circus but its not because of Pogbas actions really, it is because of who Pogba is.

The best way to start the year thing, I’m not religious in any shape or form but have no problem with anyone’s preferred religion. I’d rather he was concentrating on getting back in shape then posting about fairytales.

Why? He avoided the obvious bait and talked about his performances and injury instead.

You’re absolutely delusional. How can he get back into shape when he is awaiting surgery? And please inform me why him posting a harmless picture of him listening to the Quran is posting about fairytales?

And assuming it’s just past 12 in that picture, what do you expect him to be doing there and then about his ankle injury?

Some of you need to get their head and brains checked, you have fallen so deep into the anti United and anti Pogba agenda. He isn't perfect, but he isn't the anti Christ either.

How dare a person post about his religion, shouldn't all players be trying to stay fit 24/7?? :lol::lol:

I dislike Pogba and want him to leave but this is a joke.

Anyone know if it was confirmed that he got the surgery yesterday. A couple of the shit tier papers said he did. Ole didn't imply one way or the other in that press conference.

He shouldn’t be commenting on a players personal time. It’s not his job. I blame the presenter more, it’s not in the slightest bit ‘cryptic’.

Right so straight after a surgery what do you expect him to be doing other than resting?

Has he been waiting surgery for the last 3 months globetrotting? No this surgery came out of the blue. I wouldn’t be particularly impressed with any player pushing his religion on a match day whatever religion it is. Please don’t tell me your one of those people that believe the earth is 4000 years old?

I’d hope he be in work earning some of the £45k a day he gets from united fans.

If he was banging in 25 goals a season and leading us to the promised land (see what i did there) I’d happily join his religion but he ain’t, shut up, sort your act out and do what your paid to do.

What are you on about? Ole has said himself that the club checked his ankle and he required surgery, so you still honestly believe he is faking it? And if you follow his social media he has posted many a video of him working out with a cast on his ankle on before. Finally how is he pushing it? You’re clutching at straws here. All he has done is post a picture of a person reciting the Quran, which isn’t ‘pushing his religion’. Should players never post anything other than football?

Get a grip mate. Social media means people can post what they want. If it gets you so mad, you probably shouldn't follow him on social media.

I'm an atheist, but I couldn't care less what footballer's religions are and how religious they are.

Ole changed his original statement from his people to our people which makes me think he has been pressured into that. I don’t follow him (I know your shocked) but doesn’t he have over a million followers most of which will be kids many who are too young for religion to be something they should be worrying about.
