Why should he owe the club anything at all? If he doesn't want to stay why would he jeopardise that by signing a new contract just so the club can get some wedges for him.

Fans have treated him like shit the second he arrived, despite being one of our best players by a country mile, think he'd be glad to see the back of the supporters more than the club.

Look at how he's treated on here.

We've let him down by the way the fans have treated him, it's disgusting.
Interesting post.

Like shit since he arrived? Go have a look at how excited United fans were of having Pogba, in his first season.

He has never been our best player, probably one of the biggest disappointments by a country mile.

Right so, its a one way streak, he fell out with Jose, then him and his agent continued to disrespect the club and fans from dream or playing for Madrid, wants a new challenge to last season December saying Pogba at United is done. Yep, but he's treated us well.

From on the pitch, making mistakes and not tracking, giving pointless handballs v West Ham cause he cannot take on to the face for the team, Red cards V Liverpool, faking injuries, lack of commitment when the chips are down.

Oh he is glad to see the back of supporters? But he wants to go to PSG where they had banners last season when he was linked to them saying stay away?

We had to buy him back for for 90£M and payed him in HUGE wages all the time he has been here.

His agent and brother has been talking about him leaving every international break for years and we the supporters have treated him bad?

Imagine all the merchandise and ticket money coming from the supporters beeing payed for his transfer and big wages and he cannot be arsed to show up and giving 100% on the pitch.

And beeing treated bad from the start is bullshiet! The supporters have been singing his name including Ole`s at the wheel so give me a break dude!

He dont respect the club or supporters so im surprised he didint lose more support during those international circus interviews by agent/brother before.

Yeah, no.

He let himself down, and the club and his team mates down. No one caused him to fail here but himself.

i am not Pogba's biggest fan all, but he doesnt share all of the blame. yes, he hasnt been great and has given terrible interviews on International duty.

but i dont think the club have really helped him either. i am sure when they bought him they told him they would build the team around him, we all know he requires certain parts to get the best out of him, but the club was largely a mess his entire time here.

the fans, have every right to be pissed at for him, his brother, and his agent's nonsense for the past few though.

So you're suggesting United fans, the fans who supported Beckham after his red card at the World Cup, Rooney after his red card for England, Ronaldo after his wink, all the lads who missed penalties at the last Euro's, Solskjaer after knowing he wasn't up to the job but still gave it his all, Cantona after he kicked a fan, Evra after he was racially abused and called a liar by Liverpool fans and players, Rio after his brother was racially abused by John Terry, and countless more examples, have treated Pogba disgustingly?

You're either massively tone deaf to his antics or you're on a wind up. Unfortunately the support has been a one way street since Pogba joined United which is why he finds himself without any support right now.

Well hopefully he’s now not mentioned again in any capacity and a line is drawn, all the talent in the world yet the most toxic and self entitled attitude to go alongside it.

Pogba is the true embodiment of all out for themselves and only a plastic club or one concerned with marketing or star power rather than actual teamwork and a will to win would be interested in him, I fully expect him to go to PSG for a payday in an easy league so he can coast for the rest of his career.

There were reports all last week and early this week that Pogba wanted to at least speak to ETH and hopefully ETH told him he doesn’t feature or didn’t even want to talk, if you could put a face to the post Sir Alex era then it would be Pogba.

The team was built around him under Jose for the first two seasons, until their very public falling out. Jose also signed Matic to help Pogba. Our first choice midfield became Herrera, Matic and Pogba. And then the team was built around him again when Ole took over right up until the point Bruno was signed.

Not all of it is Pogba's fault in terms of attitude, but fitness-wise either he's been too lazy for the league, or his body just isn't up to it. His long spells out injured ruined his cohesion in the team Ole was trying to build.

You only have to look at the way 'fans' have a go at him for his fecking haircut to show the way that he has been treated by the United fans since he's been here. It's an utter disgrace.

Sure he could have done more to silence the rumours since he joined, but the fans haven't exactly helped matters.

Firstly he is far of being best player. Average to poor player with 1/10 very good games. He got some wierd reputation by kids who loves his style outside football. On the pitch he hasn't done much to even show that he would be as good as you think.

Fans have treated him they way he treated club. He has constantly been flirting with other clubs from day one and never did he show that he would run trough walls for this club.

Absolutely no one except Souness has had a go at him for his haircut. Most people couldn't give a shit, and if they do give a a shit it's because he's been a massive whopper for most of his time here.

And yes, you nailed it. He could have done more to endear himself, he could have bridged the divide but instead he's all over Instagram wearing Juventus shirts during training while he talks about how great Madrid are.

Nah. That's good old 'Arry Maguire.
He has competition with Wan Bissaka, Bailly, Sanchez, Matic, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Herrera, Mata, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Darmian and a bunch of other players. Pogba isn't remotely close to be the worst, the tragic part is that some of them have done so poorly that fans generally act as if they don't exist.

Tinted glass and all that. Most footballers are mocked for their hairstyles, the way they dress, their social media posts etc etc. Pogba fans thinking he is the only one being mocked is cute.

It took like four or five years of half-hearted performances, questionable-looking injuries and wildly unprofessional interviews/comments before fans really turned on him. Numerous stories of him wreaking havoc in the dressing room, playing a prominent part of the problem with cliques and leaks and toxicity. Mourinho who, for all his faults, is certainly known for speaking his mind, called him a virus. And it's only this season that fans have really begun to speak up about Pogba in earnest. He is not hard done by. He's not unfairly treated. He has been a blemish on this club, and I for one strongly suspect that he has played a large part in fostering the shitty attitude that the squad has.

Why should anyone make an effort when Paul Pogba, with his record transfer fee and enormous wages, gets to jog around lazily and be "injured" while relaxing in Dubai for 40% of every season? What kind of message does that send? While I don't normally like to doubt injuries, his never seem to result from any visible event that explains the injury. It's always something mysterious in training, or like his latest one where he just suddenly says he's injured and demands to be subbed off for no readily apparent reason. He's not getting kicked to pieces during games, he just quietly gets these anonymous injuries every couple of months. And then he goes on vacation.

The man has had something like twelve injuries in five years, and each and every one of them is something vague like "calf problem" and "ankle injury" and "muscle strain." He missed basically an entire year with what was reported to be an ankle problem. Always something you can't see. Something you can't really disprove. For comparison, he had one single injury in his four years at Juventus. And every time, he's off on vacation and giving interviews about his dreams of Madrid. It doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to surmise that he's probably just skipping work. With the wages he's on, that's inexcusable. Given his attitude and statements, he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

We have had many flops e.g. back in the day...Gary Birtles, Alan Brazil. We have had a lot of flops.
None of them cost 89 million, stank the place out for years, had his "injury" record, constantly agitated to leave, earned an absolute fortune, and left for nothing. Again.

There’s no evidence at all he’s been faking injuries if that’s what you’re implying, and why wouldn’t he agitate to leave given we’ve had him during the prime of his career and won absolutely feck all.

Umm, maybe if he performed to the level he claims to be at? Not dancing in the middle of the pitch giving away the ball cheaply at every possible opportunity?

He’s never claimed to be at any level. He’s never danced in the middle of the pitch. His pass completion is obviously going to be a bit shit given he’s the only midfielder who consistently tries to play forward and the fact that we’ve had no possession structure during his entire time here.

Poor Pogba. He played a rather large part in us winning "feck all". By being largely shite.

Some of you seem to believe every story shitty tabloids make up about x player wanting to play for y team

Im glad if hes gone because what ive seen on the pitch with my own eyes has been nothing impressive at all and he just doesn't want to put an extra shift to help a team fighting to avoid the bottom half of the table

But those huge paragraphs about what he supposedly said about dreaming to play for psg you read on here... laughable to say the least

Really? I've always read and heard how he is brilliant in the dressing room and with the youngsters etc. Even reports of him geeing up the team at half time etc
