He was ok, but I don't think he should be selected at all, after what he pulled last week.

Finally showing up. Performing for the showcase window as transfers are allowed in January. But did very well today.

If he was starting today why the hell did we drop him against RBL? If it was to make a point, then surely it does hold good now as well ?

Brilliant game from him though.

Looks much better as an AM, where he can pass and beat players. Really hope the constant DM experiment with him stops.

I thought he was pretty good. The thing with Pogba, you gotta keep him motivated. I think Mourinho said he is more of a tournament player or something like that and I think thats spot on. He doesnt have the motivation to play his best throughout the season.

Therefore you gotta keep playing him now. He knows he is gone and he wants to show teams how good he actually is.

Its a win win. We get the best out of him these last few games that he is here and get to sell him. Its what both parties want.

as long as he actually plays well this is true... instead of being an absolute liability as he has been for most of the season

He’s a brilliant player. We will need to replace him. He shouldn’t be playing though after his agent said he’s finished at United.

I feel like today is near the ceiling of what we can expect from him now on, and if that is the case, he can be improved upon. There were times when he felt the defender on his back and he drove forward beautifully, but he does not do this enough throughout a game. I just think the pace at which he plays is too slow for the EPL and our counter-attacking style.

He's doing well. Again I don't want to stay but I like that he's doing his best whenever he plays.

Plays better as a left sided midfielder with two more def minded midfielders behind, but we all knew that. Problem is Bruno is undroppable, so that means we can just play 2 more attackers, and that's too defensive.

So that means Pogba needs to play in a mid 2, or we are too defensive.

This is how I'd lineup against Sheffield :

-------Pogba---Fred
Mason--Bruno--Martial
------------Cavani

Yes, back in a midfield 2, but we can't be too defensive against Sheffield and Pogba shouldn't be dropped either.

I'd rather play Mctominay than line up like that. Pogba is terrible as a deep midfielder, he has no defensive instincts. Playing a front 4 there's no need for Pogba too. I'd rather stick Bruno deep and Pogba as AM is how much I loathe us playing Pogba there.

He was good today. At least it feels like he's aware of what he's been worst at and is trying to address it. Neat and economical in possession with the occasional high quality moment. Moved it on quickly, didn't invite tackles. Worked while out of possession. Good start, keep it up.

The fact that people dont want him to play because of what his agent said is absurd to me.

Hes under contract, being paid and therefore if fit, should be part of the squad.

I feel like he’s a lot slower and less explosive than before. Great technique still.

Thought he was good but I think some of the praise is going over board. I'm a big fan of Pogba but I feel he was 6/10 today, I thought Shaw, Fred and Lindelof were better. Overall a pretty decent performance but he has the ability to win games like this for us, overall I blame Bruno, Rashford and Greenwood for the draw though.

Caption basically saying he will give his all while he's here. I think it's also clear he wants to go given no rebuttal of Mino.

So nobody at all finds it weird that his agent comes out and takes a giant shit on the club and after that Pogba looks like he'll run through brick walls for the team? Surely we should have Mino drop trou deuce all over Old Trafford every week?..

It's literally your agent who's giving us the information mate.

Oh do feck off. If you don't want people talking about whats going on then tell your agent to shut the feck up, and you do the same you massive weapon.

Showed he can play that defensive/holding role in the left of a midfield 3 when he wants to. Key word: when he wants to. Get rid please
