That doesn't rhyme...I’ve always thought of him more as a Stefan Kuntz.
sorry, couldn’t resist.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I would be cautious making definitive statements...
It’s free verse
Yeh. When thinking about the goal of drug testing, that discretion doesn't make sense to include unused players. Why would it matter if a player was drug to the tits if he doesn't play?
Lengthy ban incoming you'd imagine, wonder if he'll pack it in.
Yeah, he suuuuure showed us.

What a player he could have been if he had his head in the right place. Such a shame.
I wonder if it was taken for some injury recovery medication and he was told he wont get caught. Players might get desperate to come back and do stupid things

An absolute pillock of the highest order. What an embarrassing career
What a shame! One of the most naturally talented players I have seen at Old Trafford in my 25 years of watching football. Hope he has a happy life! Always seemed to have external parties bothering him and his focus.
Mourinho was 100% right.
It would be naive to think that players these days are playing into their late 30’s at the top level without some help along the way to recover from injuries and recover faster. The game has never been more physically demanding.
Pogba’s probably accepted something from someone outside of his circle (Juventus, France, trust personal doctor) and he’s been caught in the act because the person giving it him doesn’t care or doesn’t know banned substances in football. Or he just genuinely thought he’d get away with it or was desperate to get back fit.
Honestly one of the saddest ever careers for a footballer. Mistake after mistake in his decision making.
Thought that his 2020/21 season was brilliant and that he was our best player. Shame he fecked it all up from then onwards.

Incredible feck-up.
Talent is there but there's nobody home

Best thing he did for united was turning down that ridiculous contract offer thinking it was too low.
I actually wanted him to stay too, even if it was just to get a price for him cos losing him for free twice is ridiculous.
But yeah given whats happened since to him and to us (Ronaldo/sancho situations), thank feck he left!
They should strip France of the 2018 World Cup and award it to the People's Team, England.
The irony of a dope being done for doping.
Might as well retire now
We missed a trick here!
Imagine having Greenwood, Antony, Sancho and Pogba shit all at the same time!
Also imagine with Mourinho as our coach, now that would have been sick.
Mexican soap opera meets jersey shore and the wire.

The cruel irony of his body letting him down is not lost on me.
That's him done. There's no coming back from this. Juventus will probably terminate his contract, they're lucky they got him on a free.
What a waste of great talent.

Got the last laugh
Usually a 4 year suspension if it’s on purpose. 2 years if it isn’t.
End of his career?
End of his career?
Sad how his career’s gone. Possessed such a great talent.
Still, he’ll retire with a double figure trophy haul and as a World Cup winner, stuff most players can only dream of.

If he gets 2 years, he could still play in lower leagues or Saudi Arabia with 32 if he keeps his athletics. But in europe on an international level, he is done.
Why doesn't he go down the Onana route of "I didn't mean to take it"? He got 9 months, didn't he?
Drugba
I made the same joke earlier in the thread but I don't feel it got the laughs it deserves :sadface:

His playing career is surely over.
Still had a career that most players can only dream of, nevertheless can't help but think he wasted his talent away.

Surely it would go to Croatia.
No, they're not the People's Team.
Bit different. Onana tested positive for a non performance enhancing diuretic. They showed proof that his wife had been prescribed it, so the story was he took it in error.
Enhanced testosterone levels are probably a bit harder to explain away.
A sad end to a decent yet should have been utterly great career. Give this guy Bellingham’s drive & what could have been.
I don't know why people are still talking about him. Average to poor player who was nowhere near good to play for big teams. 1 good game/ 20 games and he got reputation of a world class player. This is just a cause of social media.
Still believe the talent was there, just too lazy to use it and look at him now.
