Its real madrid or bust for him really isn't it. No one else needs, wants or can afford him. And he'll probably need to take a wage cut to tempt them. I'm inclined to think they'll be more interested in Mbappe or Neymar and he'll be an afterthought if they can afford him (probably needing to sell a player or two to make it work).
Of course he didn't, the meltdown was always going to happen because some people just can't wait to be outraged.
His brothers and agent are part of the package unfortunately. Pogba comes with a circus
Policing his brothers, no, his agent, yes. Pogba never disputed what his agent was saying when he was disrespectful towards United. His agent is a loudmouth idiot, but Pogba should have publicly denied those represented his thinking towards the club. He didn’t. Hence the dislike.
If there was no truth to Raiola's comments, why didn't Pogba move quickly to quell them?

He has already done similar things on the pitch before when hes told fans to not listen to the press. Lukaku and him also did something similar together.
Nobody said he has to criticize his agent, more so reassure the fans of his commitment to the club. He’s let far too much be said by that poisonous leech of an agent without reaction imo and it’s no surprise to me indifference towards him and some fans has built up. He can prove his commitment on the pitch now for sure, but it’s been a long long while since he’s been there.
Do you think we'd be able to get Sancho without selling Pogba financially ?
me and you are totally on the same page about most things utd.
A motivated Pogba would bench all of our players against those weaker sides we have problems breaking down.
We signed Rojo after appearing in a world cup final
Yeah, maybe I can see that... we could afford to play with two more attacking MFers (or change formation). Just thinking about the City game for example and wasn't sure who/what I'd change
Genuinely glad to read this. People are buying into the media bullshit too much over Pogba. If he goes for a great amount of money then fair enough but I'll be over the moon if hes here long term
I worry a little about this too. It’s the reason I’m not totally mad on him. Nothing about his abilities as a player though. To me He’s still our best player. You have to make space for a fit and committed paul pogba. He also gives us tactical and rotation options. Remember those hahaha me neither. Negative me thinks Imagine he signs a GIANT new deal and he can’t play with Bruno then.... argh... One thing is Bruno likes the right side AM and Pogba the left. If they do click that’s a scary midfield man. I do feel sorry for Fred Matic or McT one of whom will always be dropped more or less. I’d hate for Fred to lose his place in the team now for example. He’s been class this year. All action and total commitment on the pitch.
We signed Rojo because LVG and his staff who were analysing the Dutch teams defeat to the Argies in the world cup semi-final were very impressed by Rojo after the analysis process was complete. Van Gaal went on record and said as such on TV.
Without much of an issue IMO. We spend like 150m every year since Fergie retired. We have a few random players that will be sold this summer, along with part of Lukaku's fees (since they were split over 3 years), etc. Pogba being sold or not directly impacts if we go for Grealish or not IMO, nothing to do with Sancho though.
We might not get Grealish if Pogba stays, but I'm fine with that. But Sancho is the main target for the club and the funds for that potential transfer will have been put to one side IMO.
Wow. I don't remember seeing this. This is probably what Raiola referenced when he said Pogba has made his feelings clear. There is no doubt he wanted to leave, which means the actions of his agent was intended to bully United into doing what Pogba's team wants. Engineering a move. I think there is ways to go about doing that and to see him flip flop once again now actually makes me angry. That somehow Bruno is good enough to play alongside Pogba, that should change everything. What happens when Bruno hits a bad run of form? Wouldn't Pogba want to leave again? Aren't we then opening ourselves up for having Raiola openly attack our new signing Bruno to demonstrate further how terribly this club is run, just in a scheme to move Pogba away.
Or when do agents constantly criticise the paymaster of their client? You just never heard from agents -- even someone like big as Mendes.
He has never ever given us season-long high level of performance before? no.
Well wow, Pogba shows less leadership/is less of a leader than Roy Keane. If you are using Roy Keane as a reference point than 99.99% of all footballers will fall short.
Isn't Sami Mokbel quite reliable? I tend to get these journalists muddled up these days.
He's one of the decent ones, hence me sharing the link.
