Not enough?We offered him 300k ? wtf !

Bit weird that you felt the need to clarify that.fecking cnut the lad, I dislike everything he represents not racially but sport wise, he's the main reason the club never progressed over the years, thank fecks he's out of our club. fecking Virus!!
Even when I disagree with them, I'll never get irked about somebody defending a Manchester United player. I thought Pogba was massively overrated the entire time he was here. But I always had a grudging respect for the posters who bigged him up while he was wearing the shirt.some really embarrassing Pogba fans in this thread… the extent some will go to defend him. Wow.
A handful of footballers involve in these and most of them are pretty similar. A bunch of yesman around them telling that he is a brand and they are caring for his brand etc. Most of these are so uneducated and delusional that they can't even understand these documentaries are terribly cringe to watch.Christ. Who thought this would be good PR for his documentary.

We offered him the same wages he was on already on. No salary increase. And we only did so at the last minute.We offered him 300k ? wtf !
How last minute was it? Probably 2 or 3 before the season ended at least I would think? Considering how we run as a club, that would be quite earlyWe offered him the same wages he was on already on. No salary increase. And we only did so at the last minute.
It was a 'nothing' offer in terms of how little effort/thought was put into it.
Technically, it was a new contract. But in terms of how these things are usually done, it was seemingly offered in bad faith.
Basically a rejection from United that the club PR could spin into a rejection from Pogba.
Post tax I'm guessing?Half that, it’s the only offer he’s got
The club is run like an advertising agency for celebrities. Presenting early contract extensions to Instagram influencers with undeserved wage bumps is exactly what we've doing for years.How last minute was it? Probably 2 or 3 before the season ended at least I would think? Considering how we run as a club, that would be quite early
Wasn't this offer from last summer though?It's worrying for me, shows that we haven't really learned pur lessons.
I feel his influence on some of the other younger lads has been underplayed, especially when stronger, older heads left and he became a senior player. Lot's of noise of he's "well liked", AKA he's popular. Doesn't mean he's a good person or a good role model. Well liked because he's driving everyone's wages up probably.From The Athletic:
Honestly just everything that comes out of this guy's mouth must be so infuriating for United fans.
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).
I took the quotes as we gave him two offers, one being last summer, there were rumours recently that he was offered another one.Wasn't this offer from last summer though?

Hmm I'm not sure about this part. Don't think he gives a feck about the club.We offered him the same wages he was on already on. No salary increase. And we only did so at the last minute.

Basically a rejection from Manchester United that the club PR could spin into a rejection from Pogba. He's a bit of a fan favourite, after all. We don't want to be seen as tossing him away like trash. Even if we are.
The club offered him the same wages he was on and probably hoped they could recoup some transfer fee if he left. Thank goodness he has left.I can't believe the club even offered him anything, what a joke we have become. We are truly in ruin.
Ah the tactic of keeping them in contract to retain their value. How well has that worked out for us? Yes, I'm delighted that he has gone. What a disaster he was here.The club offered him the same wages he was on and probably hoped they could recoup some transfer fee if he left. Thank goodness he has left.
Pogba doesn't give a shit about the club. But he does have a die-hard fan club in some sections of the supporters. His social media following alone is proof of that.Hmm I'm not sure about this part. Don't think he gives a feck about the club.
Not great. We only have ourselves to blame by offering these ridiculous wages and becoming some sort of mercenary club rather than a club players want to play for.Ah the tactic of keeping them in contract to retain their value. How well has that worked out for us?
Not ourselves. The Glazers. They're not one of us. They're parasites.Not great. We only have ourselves to blame by offering these ridiculous wages and becoming some sort of mercenary club rather than a club players want to play for.
I could definitely see Pep being interested. Pogba is the most talented midfielder on the planet. The problem is that he is a bit of an idiot with absolutely no idea of how to utilise his skills. Pep would like to think that he could work with him on the training ground to teach him positioning and get it into his thick head that he is not press resistant so just play the pass quickly if being closed down.It's hilarious that anyone would believe City were interested.
It's not. This thread has been an embarrassment because a lot of posters have actually claimed that the dislike for Pogba is because of prejudice towards the color of his skin, and hinted that people dislike him because they're racists, they just don't know it.Bit weird that you felt the need to clarify that.
Well you are what your record says you are. What are we then if not 6th best team in England?Not Juventus' biggest fan but calling them the 4th best team in Italy based on where they finished last year is a bit unfair.
To be fair, regarding point 2 the player Juventus are getting back is complete shite who hadn’t broken into a run since 2019.If he goes to Juve it means 2 things -
1) The top clubs - Real, PSG, Man City etc dont want him. I dont buy it for a second that he would turn them down for Juve to have a nice comfy life or something
2) Juve and Pogba fkd Man Utd more than a club/player combination ever has. Juve got him free as a kid, sold for 90 and now get back on a free! Wow. Thanks for that Juve. The worst part of it was selling us a dud for 90 though.
& how much time he spent out injured. Glad he's gone but he's still trying to cling on.I can't believe we even offered that much given how inconsistent he was.
Rangnick had next to no influence on things at club level and they were said to have got on well anyway.These contact offers the article mentions were likely withdraw once Ole was sacked and Rangnick evaluated Pogba.
