Such a clickbait article, James Robson can go feast on a bag of dicks.

Pogba really need to learn a thing or two about integrity from Ryan Giggs. As they say, loyalty is dead these days

Pogba did feck all to agitate to leave. Look at how professionally he handled it compared to lukaku.

Except business and personal life are two completely different things.

True. Pogba has alot to learn from a man who shows a higher degree of loyalty to his work place then to his family

What a pile of utter nonsense from Robson.

Pogba hasn’t acted anywhere near as disrespectful as Lukaku did. Yes he said wanted to go (personally don’t blame him if he wants too) but hasn’t exactly thrown his toys out of the pram that he hasn’t got his move. He’s trained with his teammates and played in all our pre-season games bar one which was confirmed by Ole that it was because of a back spasm. I thought he played pretty well in those games and didn’t look like a player that purposefully was hardly trying.

Lukaku on the other hand, well the least said about that overweight donkey the better.

I can understand fans being upset about Pogba 'being open to a new challenge', but put yourself in his shoes - a footballer's prime lasts only for a short period of time, and he left a winning Juventus team to come to us( attracted by a huge wage hike and a promise to be the face of a resurgent Man utd). Unfortunately, a combination of incompetence from the manager(s), board and his inconsistency meant that things haven't gone exactly to plan for both the club and him, and he like any typical guy, wants to jumpship to another team(in this case Madrid) where the club actually cares about winning trophies. It's hard for us fans to hear, but this is essentially it. We have to perform on the pitch to give him a reason to stay, and he should play his part too. This was one of the reasons why we should have strengthened the midfield this summer, and it speaks to the ambitions of our board that our net spend was 78 million euros, whereas madrid spent close to 300 million euros. Without Pogba, it looks like a sunday league midfield(relatively speaking).

I can understand where Giggs is coming from, but at a time where player power reigns supreme, can the club really afford a 'Fergie decks Becks' situation? And for all we know, if say Scott Mctominay hard tackles Pogba for giving signs of of wanting out, he might probably refuse to play for the remainder of the season.

And please, can we all please keep the giggs slander out of this thread? His personal life is in no way related to his commitment to MUFC. He must have rejected numerous offers from Italy and probably one of the spain's big two to stay here his whole career. I am pretty sure he is speaking from that perspective and his love for the club. It seems that one cannot speak about Ryan Giggs today without bringing up his personal life. It's worse on reddit. Any Ryan giggs or George Best post always ends up with 'but he is a horrible human being!' like it defines what they did on the pitch. Messi and Cristiano are tax dodging cnuts. But nobody ever brings that up.
