Will be the other way around I should imagine?
Wouldn't surprise me if he did start. One thing for sure is I'll make the wrong decision in the predictions league and Samid will make the right one.

What things do I need to know to believe a grainy video with added visual distortion from jet engine exhaust isn't just any taller guy who struggles with luggage getting onto a private plane?
Pogba has a red backpack and you can see his face as he is walking.

If it's true that he does want to stay, it's the best news possible. He's by far our most talented player, and a motivated Pogba is amongst the best in the world.
Exactly - I'm not his biggest fan, but a fit, firing, and motivated Pogba can only be a good thing.

I'll be surprised if he starts but he needs at least 30 minutes under his belt. Number 10 role looks like the best place to play him. A waste of time playing him as a holding midfielder plus Fred, McTominay should remain there.

It doesn’t if we’re honest.

It just means he’s on track to return in January. Him getting on a plane doesn’t equate to him being fit to feature.

It will give a boost to morale though
The piece I'm not seeing is that being Pogba getting on a plane. It's scarcely better than the Zapruder film.

United make me feel dirty. And not in a sexy way.

OK. How does that add veracity to the video, though?
It doesn't. That video is shite. Just saying we have another way of knowing he is back training. He will not feature in the game, tomorrow, however. Not fit enough yet.

Wow I can’t believe this thread is positive. This is the caf where it’s wrong Keane visits the team, Pogba needs to go but if you dare criticize Lingard and don’t just say he’s a decent squad player, you’re in for a world of hurt.

Good job he's a top player, and I like him so much, otherwise I might be a little sceptical about the timing of this.

It’s definitely pogba ffs :lol: who else would it be boarding with the squad? The photo is clearly him, the hair and the ear rings just cement it.

England:
Chuck him straight in. A half fit Pog is better than Mata, Lingard and Pereira put together.

Was never Pogba out,

But won't get excited till I see him on the pitch.

#PogBack

Cant wait to have him back in the side, especially if he is played ahead of the newly formed McFred duo.

If we can get a really good second half of the season from Pogba it could be huge for us.

He could outplay Lingard and Pereira in a pair of slippers

Before Ole was the manager he said that if he was in charge of MUFC he would build the team around Pogba. Will he ? Would you ? Where will Ole play him ? Where would you play him?

I would ask Pogba where he wants to play , how he would like to play - build the team around that and if it works good, and if it isn't working sell him quickly.

I'd rather we be a bit more careful with him. Playing him in a pointless exercise against Rochdale proved pretty stupid. Hopefully he comes on early in the 2nd half.
