Mino can speak with PSG about his client despite being under contract with United. He legally doesn't need their permission to talk about potential salary.

sell Pogba....go after Camavinga but if you that shows to be difficult then bring in Sabitzer/Neves and Saul

Think at the end of the window it would be much lower, £20-30m. January he can sign a pre contract and we receive nothing, again. Now I'd take £40m and run, put it towards a quality DM and get us functioning as a unit properly, instead of shoehorning players in positions they clearly aren't comfortable playing.
It will never be that low and United aren't selling for 40m either.

I think we would rather have him help us push for the title than sell him for £30m

Of course it would, last week of the summer transfer window would be our only opportunity to make money on him.

I would if we bought the right DM but I'm not sure I could bare Raiola touting his client out to any and every club under the sun in the media all season.

We’d be hypocrites to ask for anything more than we’re offering for Varane. 40-50m and I’d snap your hand off.

Would be great for us if he left I think but only if we get the right replacement.

I’ve just posted in transfer chat, Given the Mbappe stuff why don’t we make a cheeky swap offer Pogba + £30M for Mbappe?

I get the feeling someone in the club is peeved with PSG’s contact with Pogba, so why not make them feel uncomfortable at the same time. Mind you, we have seen how picking a fight with PSG is going for Barcelona…

Anyone over 28 going to miss him?

Scholes, Keane, Ince, Butt, Robson?

no didn’t think so.
Nope.

May not seem like it at first, but it'll solve a problem. It'll save us a headache we've had ever since he joined and tried to build a team around him.

Get rid. Neves and Goretzka can both be had for less money than we bought him, and I suspect they'd make a bigger impact.

It won't be the last opportunity to sell him.

I don't see the club selling him for a third of what they paid for him even with only a year on his contract.

Hope we sell him this summer. Him leaving on a free would be an embarrassment now.

It was clear last year that he wont sign an extension. Only Covid and the high price tag kept him here

You miss Nicky Butt?

Also Ince's attitude was 10x worse than Pogba.
I agree and we survived him going. Butt was a decent sub for keane, committed hard worker who loved the team and got stuck in. If Pogba had his attitude we’d have been laughing.

His actual age maybe over 28 but the state of that post proves he’s barely out of junior school mentally.

Butt & Ince ffs!
37, my point is that in a UTD shirt they all produced and won more.

Pogba like ince is a legend in his own head. Ince at least got the PL medals.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.

The only one comparable there is Ince - we had Keane at the club though. Butt wasn’t first choice, Keane was nowhere near the player he had been and had retired within 7 months of leaving and Scholes was so finished he’d already retired once before he did it again. Pogba is 28, in his prime and our CM options when he leaves are a finished Matic, Mctominay and Fred. We need two top midfielders.

If true about rejecting the contract it’s good news in my view. Not ideal if he leaves on a free at the end of next season but we need to move on from him now, if it means losing him on a free then so be it. We’ll be better off for it in the long run.
