A few questions:

1. Did Pogba say, in an interview after the first game of the season - a game that we had won, that he had he captained and scored in - "“if you’re not happy, you cannot give your best” and “There are things that I cannot say otherwise I will get fined,”
2. Did he deliberately stop in the mixed zone after the game to deliver these quotes to journalists?
2. Was that helpful to the team/club, or was it self-serving?
3. Were United fans right to feel unhappy about that?

For the record I love Pogba - I love watching him play, and actually, although he can sometimes come across as a bit of nob with his haircuts, dancing, and social media stuff it's actually quite nice to see someone playing (usually) with a smile on their face and looking as though they are enjoying life. I think he's largely started the season in fine form, and I'd love to see him stay with United for as long as possible. None of that means that I'm not pissed off when he puts his personal situation above that of the club though - and I think as fans we're absolutely right to call him out on that. Some of that criticism may have been over-the-top, but I gotta say, your multiple responses to him playing well against Young Boys the other night were bordering on hysterical - are you a United fan or a Pogba fan?!

Those dancing, haircuts and interviews are part of the deal. £89m is not just for the football innit

I think the tone in his quotes are starting to improve. Hopefully someone had told him to stop bitching in the media and focus on the pitch, which he's starting to do the previous couple of games.

I'm praying that nobody else thought my last ten or so posts in this thread were not dripping in sarcasm, given the effort that I put into defending Pogba and clarifying the previous crap translations that people were lynching him for.

Okay I did, I just saw 10 straight posts calling Pogba a coward etc. I’m awful at detecting sarcasm. I thought you were a bluemoon troller. I never really pay attention to poster names, just the content so I didn’t realise you were defending him.

Sorry if you were offended.

I take it as a compliment that I was able to successfully mimic those who were happy to see the worst in everything Pogba did to fit their chosen narrative of him!
