The biggest bellend to ever play for this club. Hope he rots in Italy.
Can you imagine him becoming this famous outside football without doing anything on the pitch at any other club?From Athletic, two quotes that shows what he is all about. Good riddance.
What!?Pogba is both a world class player on his day and a waste of space and a cancer within the club. I think in the dressing room he is a nice guy and a professional but he is sneaky in the way he destroyed the club by letting his agents, brother etc say sht about United and also affected players close to him like Lingard to go against managers etc.
However I can see why he would say 300k is nothing. Its not nothing in the context of people are starving in the world. And even related to footballers its a decent wage. But in relationship to United when your keeper is on 375 and some new kid called Sancho is on 350 if you think you are a senior player that won a world cup and is world class then if Man Utd would really want to keep you they would have offered 400K plus. This would be normal for United. With every other player we have offered ridiculous wages that are uncalled for. You might say he's not worth it and he doesnt play enough. Agreed but 300k at United doesnt say we really want to keep you. At any other club it might. But not United. It just says your ok. You can stay but we arnt going all out to keep you. Which was right from a United perspective but I can see why Pogba would think otherwise.
You, sir, are a reasonable man.We 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 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.
Its been reported to be a 3.5% hike from his then current wages. This, on the back of another injury plagued season, lack of consistency or any semblance of leadership while being a senior player on the team. Now that he is a free agent, he is seeing what he is worth outside and getting his reality check without his pimp daddy.Pogba is both a world class player on his day and a waste of space and a cancer within the club.

Exactly, you dont know what his add ons are though.It's stated in multiple reports that 8 mil net salary plus add ons. Hence, he is earning more than Man Utd.

Depending on which report you believe. Mostly reported the add ons included signing on fees and performance related bonuses which makes the overall package much more attractive than our offer. He must have agreed the terms prior to announcing leaving us and produced the Pogmentary belittling our "nothing offer".Exactly, you dont know what his add ons are though.
His basic salary is 150k a week, even if he has bonuses, its not going to be double.Depending on which report you believe.

He has signing on fees too as free agent. Performance related bonuses could be quite significant depending on what he agreed on.His basic salary is 150k a week, even if he has bonuses, its not going to be double.
Also, even in United's contract, every player has bonuses anyway.
Yes, signing on fee would have applied with United too. Also, fabrizio reported he was offered 350k a week, so even if it was a pay cut would be 300k which is still double the Juve base offer.He has signing on fees too as free agent.

Also, I think for us there will be a pay cut or something because we are not in CL. Hence, this also affects Pogba wages if he stayed.
His basic salary is being reported after tax. Not sure about the tax laws in Italy but supposedly they are a lot friendlier to footballers than England.His basic salary is 150k a week, even if he has bonuses, its not going to be double.
Also, even in United's contract, every player has bonuses anyway.
Pogba will make more money at Juventus after tax, as simple as that. All this 'He got half the money ManUtd offered' is just nonsense.His basic salary is 150k a week, even if he has bonuses, its not going to be double.

Our offer is gross and Juve offer is net. Basically, there is no different for base net salary between Juve and our offer. But Pogba will get signing on fees and performance related bonuses at Juve which i presume works out to be higher than our offer. Hence, "nothing offer" from us.Yes, signing on fee would have applied with United too.

Crazy to think what this sport once represented to the working class. I think we in particular have completely lost touch with our fanbase and our roots.I totally understand why so many are losing the love for the game at the moment. You got people barely affording to eat and put fuel in their car and your watching this prick dismiss 300k per week as a nothing offer, while he prances around in designer clothes, fast cars and yachts. Totally out of touch and tone deaf.
He already knew he was leaving in 2021 and more or less agreed something in principle with Juve. After that, he was "injured" for major part of last season.What i don't get is that his documentary was mostly shot in 2021. Allowing time for edits and all that shite to get it on the telly box. This supposed offer and his complaining about it can't be all that recent.
The Cole thing was always a bit overblown.Worst sneering at a ridiculously high wage since Cashley Cole about 15 years ago.
yes, i was going to add that in my post actually, being a Manchester club is really salt of the Earth, working class roots yet the players are millions of miles from that. It’s totally unrelatable these days.. whereas back in the 90s for example, we felt a connection to the players, even though they were famous and wealthy they felt semi normal and had a ounce of humility about them. There’s a total disconnect happening more and more in football, maybe social media is some part to blame for it.. but also the money involved has gone bonkers. Hopefully it gets better.....Crazy to think what this sport once represented to the working class. I think we in particular have completely lost touch with our fanbase and our roots.
