It's hilarious that anyone would believe City were interested.
I don't believe he rejected City to play in the wilderness, this is a guy who had Railoa as an agent. Unless it was a tiny contact and they wanted him to start from the bench.He rejected City and is Juventus a step down from United? They had a poor season as they're going through a transition but I think they will be back at the top of Serie A again soon.
I get the frustration with Pogba but we don't need to sit here and pretend like he isn't a great talent that top clubs wouldn't take just to make us feel better. His United career is what it is.
Obviously PSG is an exception, there are no oil clubs in Italy.And Mbappé in the 5th best league means he is not good enough either. How ridiculous is this argumentation?
He's a very strange fellow if he turned down City and PSG to play for Juve, in Italy where nothing he does will matter outside the CL. I personally find that not credible, but maybe I'm wrong.Nope. Reliable sources confirmed he was approached by City and Guardiola held personal talks with him but he turned it down due to fears over the backlash. And PSG offered him more money than what he is supposedly said to have accepted from Juve. Do people think they can just come on this site and lie without getting caught up on it?
I would agree. Not a city player at all. Can see why he would go back to juve, had a great spell there, is liked by the fans and its a nice place. He's 29 now right? Juve will be back at the top of serie a soon I expect. I get the impression with him he wants to be somewhere he is happy and comfortable as much as he wants to really excel and win stuff. Think he'll get both at juve.It's hilarious that anyone would believe City were interested.
If you really think Pep wanted a player who couldn't last more than 50 minutes for majority of last season then you need to have a word with yourself.Nope. Reliable sources confirmed he was approached by City and Guardiola held personal talks with him but he turned it down due to fears over the backlash. And PSG offered him more money than what he is supposedly said to have accepted from Juve. Do people think they can just come on this site and lie without getting caught up on it?
Honestly just everything that comes out of this guy's mouth must be so infuriating for United fans.Paul Pogba has said he wants to show Manchester United they made a mistake by failing to extend his contract beyond this summer.
Pogba, speaking in his new Amazon Prime documentary named The Pogmentary (), said: “My thought process is to show Manchester (United) that they made a mistake in waiting to give me a contract.
“And to show other clubs that Manchester had made a mistake in not offering me a contract.”
United made Pogba at least two offers worth more than the existing £290,000-a-week deal that had already made him one of the best-paid players in the Premier League.
But Pogba responded to his late agent Mino Raiola’s revelation of their second offer last July by saying the club had offered him “nothing”.
“How can you tell a player you absolutely want him and offer him nothing?” Pogba says. “Never seen that.”
The more I think about it, the more sense this 'Pogmentary' makes for him.From The Athletic:

Genuinely think all things considered he must be one of the worst PL signings I've ever seen. Record fee for a guy that had about 1½ good seasons, completely poisoned the club, his huge wages pushed the club into other bad deals like Sanchez and De Gea's extension, and the optics of him leaving AGAIN for free.
As a neutral even I'm happy he's gone to be honest, and I can't believe there were some sections of supporters who wanted to keep him (albeit a slim amount).
Pogba's 290k (just 40 more than Martial's 250) was why united gave Sanchez 400k and De gea 350?From The Athletic:

Honestly I gave up caring about him a long time ago. The fact that he has come out with this shit tells you everything you need to know about his mentality. He was on an insane salary, only played about half our games and only played well in about 15% of them. Perhaps that motivation he speaks of should have gone into his performances for us rather than showing us how wrong we were for not making a massive mistake keeping him.From The Athletic:

The guy has been a horrendous signing by all accounts, I'm glad he's gone and we can move forward now.From The Athletic:

You are right! But its easy to be smart after..."My thought process is to show Manchester that they made a mistake in waiting to give me a contract … and to show other clubs that Manchester had made a mistake in not offering me a contract.”
In the end we proved the opposite, it was a mistake to even offer him a contract.
Not really. Players value different things when moving. Some prefer the money, some prefer a good location, some prefer a good system and manager, some prefer statpadding trophies and so on. We don't know what players are thinking when moving and he talked about being depressed here at lots of points so I'm not surprised he prioritized his own mental wellbeing with this move.He's a very strange fellow if he turned down City and PSG to play for Juve, in Italy where nothing he does will matter outside the CL. I personally find that not credible, but maybe I'm wrong.
Going to PSG shows enough lack of initiate, 95% of top players want to play in England, Spain or Germany. But going to Juve is even worse.
Great point.Imagine being a free transfer and having to take a pay cut to get a club….sums his time up here he’s been shite.

It's worrying for me, shows that we haven't really learned pur lessons.Depressing that we offered him a raise after the shitshow he's put on both on and off the pitch these last few years. Thank feck he did us a favor.
The documentary isn't even out yet. Oliver Kay has seen it and wrote an article in The Athletic about it which quite obviously is more balanced than the Sports Bible piece.Erm are we all going of a clickbait English news article or has anyone actually seen the documentary?
