I tend to agree. He's addressed this surgery in order to get himself in tiptop shape for the Euros and his next club all the while his agent has been doing the over the top warfare.No, he went for surgery because it was a convenient time for him to do so.
Athletes aren't like normal people, most of the time, a fair amount of them are carrying some 'injury' that isn't debilitating but will need surgery at some point to correct it, it's the nature of pushing yourself to your limit daily.
Rashford has been playing with a floating bone in his ankle, probably needs surgery on it, Smalling was playing through injury for Mourinho. John Terry spoke at length about how he put off ankle surgery for years before finally getting it done one summer.
What I'm saying is Pogba could have waited to have surgery for a time that was more convenient for Manchester United but that would have meant he missed the Euro's or he wouldn't be at his best for his new club when he joins them.
If he needed surgery so badly then why did he come back and play a couple of games? Did his personal medical staff not think he needed injury before he played 70 minutes of football?
Keep lying to yourself if it makes you feel any better.
Their aim was to make his position at United untenable and it's worked. He'll probably leave on a much more modest fee than we would've wanted.
