How will you remember Pogba's time at United?

Likely played his last game

Think about the whole 5 (6?) seasons rather than just this

When we signed Juventus's and France's best midfielder at age 23, the reaction was very positive. I was at Wembley the day it was announced and it felt like a new dawn.

Up until a year ago, I would have liked to see him sign a new deal. Not now.

Disappointment.

We let him down by being such a shambles, never building around him properly, buying in the supporting pieces he needed to thrive.

He let us down by rarely seeming 100% bought in, constantly complaining through his various proxies about this and that, undermining us before big occasions, etc etc.

It's been a big'ol waste overall really, a shame. Best of luck to the guy though.

His gobshite manager has probably been more memorable than him in hindsight.

Became sick of his antics in his second season. I've never warmed to him. He's held the club over a barrel and repeatedly disrespected the fans.

It's a tough one, When Utd re-signed him I get the feeling that they thought he would become a leader of the team and squad bringing players up to his level, if this was the case you cannot help but feel he was a massive disappointment. You cannot speak about him without mentioning his absolute parasite of an agent. Again really disappointing the way Pogba would let him say stupid things about utd, a club that was giving him a very good living. He will probably go somewhere else and win things but whatever regrets utd fans had about him leaving the first time, I feel there will be very few with those regrets this time around.

I think he had a handful of absolutely brilliant games where he looked every bit the player we all hoped for.

But the memories will be of injuries, wanting to leave and performing well below the level I’d hoped.

In a word: disappointing.

The name Jogba is more fitting because that is all he seemed to do. No effort or determination for the majority of his time at the club.

One Europa League final goal (outshone by Herrera and Fellaini in the match tho) , a fantastic match winning win display against City, and that period where he got Ole the job and a very generous PFA team of the year inclusion by actually looking like the player we all wanted him to be...

...that's not much really . Waste of our time and his.

Fergie was right to let him go to Juventus. Paul has loads of talent but no staying power and we should never have re-signed him; but it was one more mistake in a liturgy of mistakes made in the last ten years.
The 90's and the 00's were great for us, the 10's have been horrible, roll on the 20's and hopefully 30's

He basically entered semi-retirement upon joining us.

Seems like a nice and likeable guy but as a professional I think he's a bit of a disgrace.

A failure on all sides in the end. Like others, Pogba might have worked out under the right circumstances, but it wasn’t to be.

The current version of Pogba is nowhere near that player we signed back when he was 23. I’m sure he’ll go to France and take the piss out of players over there, but he’s lost a lot of that spark and dynamism he had when he first signed.

Badly - he was meant to be the main man and was a bit part player at best. Played about 8 good games a year

Crap. The one good performance that sticks out was the comeback against City. That's it.
