How will you remember Pogba's time at United?

[Maticmaker]

he won feck loads with Juve and France, starting most matches - that to me says we didn't use him properly

That being said, I thought he'd be more of leader than he has been and that might have made the difference. Perhaps he succeeded at France and Juve is because they had leaders and let him do what he had to without that burden on his shoulders, whilst at United we expected to be a leader

When you consider the players Pogba had alongside him at Juve and with France, it would have been hard to fail. IMO United was never the platform for players such as Pogba, we almost always expect too much of any individual who pulls on a United shirt; sometimes with people like Best, Law, Charlton, Robson, Keane, Scholes, Cantona, and of course CR, then we almost reach the perfection we seek.

IMO, Paul was always the 'cherry on top' of the cake, never in the cake mix itself, especially when the 'mix' was failing to rise, Paul was never the 'yeast factor' needed to ferment!

He's the ultimate luxury player, if you have a solid team and structure and add Pogba into the mix he makes a massive difference, i just don't think he's the type of player you can ask to put a team on his back and carry them. Huge amount of ability and flair. Ultimately it won't be looked back on as a success but there was moments where he was very good. But he never delivered a full season of it. His game on the pitch isn't the main issue, his Agent/Brother constantly harping on in the media has really soured the situation.

He seems like a nice guy but i won't miss him at all when he goes, which says a lot really about a player of that talent level.

 

[Drifter]

Inconsistent

 

[King7Eric]

I don't remember him getting any other offers. It's not like clubs were showing interest.

I mean had he stayed at Juve for a year or so, they would have bumped his contract to a comparable salary for some other club would have. We were paying him around 250-300k per week, he would have earned that much anyway I think.

I don't think he would, he hadn't proven to be worth it.

The worst player to ever play for our club.

World class player who wasted 6 years of his career in this mess

At what point in the last 6 years did he demonstrate he was world class? Bruno, Ronaldo et el proved that it’s possible to be world class yet Pogba can’t?

feck off with that shit.

perhaps Paul should go back to working on the basics of football first before running he or his agents mouth

If he was world class he would've demonstrated it at an individual level while here.

Get out

 

[Raoul]

A somewhat soft, overpaid underachiever who flattered to deceive.

 

[KeanoMagicHat]

Every time Pogba plays he gets dog's abuse and almost every time he doesn't play we are shite. He has been a part of all our best moments in the past 5-6 years to be fair. Overall, it's still a failure relative to expectation, but he's been better than he has been given credit for.

The worst player to ever play for our club.

Like shite like this. He's not even in the worst 10 players in the squad at this very moment.

 

[VivaRonaldo85]

The odd glimpse but generally a major flop who has wasted the best years of his career.

 

[Marcus]

Who?

 

[Beans]

He'll be the symbol of everything wrong with this era, the Pogba days will be looked on with horror.

Pretty much this, from the moment he came up until Bruno joined, we could barely create a chance without him on the pitch. Even in Ole's best periods (initial run and post lockdown), he played a key part. For the life of me I can't understand why he gets so much vitriol thrown his way.

 

[moses]

Who?

 

[Judas]

Poorly timed and bitterly disappointing. When he's been fit and up for it he's comfortably been one of the very best players at the club by far, but it's just not happened nearly enough. A truly talented footballer, but it simply hasn't panned out like I hoped it would.

Yep like this post below:

That will be the symbol of our mediocrity... not giving Scott McTominay 118 first-team appearances in 3 seasons.

That's some take

 

[Velvet Revolver]

Disappointment.

We let him down by being such a shambles, never building around him properly, buying in the supporting pieces he needed to thrive.

He let us down by rarely seeming 100% bought in, constantly complaining through his various proxies about this and that, undermining us before big occasions, etc etc.

It's been a big'ol waste overall really, a shame. Best of luck to the guy though.

A season ago I thought this was the case but now in hindsight. He never fit our team or the style of play. 3 managers have played him in different positions to make him part of the team he never did anything consistently.if he is in the mood he does things. The nostalgia of having him come here and win titles as coming home thing is what clouded everyone's judgement.

I sure hoped it would be better but not meant. And he leaves on a free twice so there;s that

 

[TMDaines]

At least we had all that silverware in his first season. Those are some nice memories.

We will struggle to recreate those moments in th near future with our current crop.

What about poor me

 

[Lewnited]

Huh?

 

[DevilRed]

He can cup his ears all the way back to france.

The ultras will see right through his lazy arse. If he thinks Old Trafford gave him a booing, wait till he becomes that overpaid lazy cnut in paris that gets confronted by their hardcore fans.

 

[Livewire1974]

He's not even in the worst 10 players in the squad at this very moment.

The total cost of ownership (transfer fee+wages) vs his output makes him by far the worst player I've ever seen at this club.

Can't wait till he leaves.

 

[JohnnyKills]

Wasted his time and ours.

Also, for those who say Raiola is a genius - any elite-level player will earn huge money regardless of his agent. It's more instructive to look at the trophies his clients have won - all the big names have under-achieved.

 

[Hughie77]

Was more interested in what hair do he was having Instead of playing. Highlights 2 goals against City for 2-3 win. Bye bye.

He came through our academy, has left us twice and yet we're down 90 million. Unreal.

Well I completely disagree, at least Pogba has played well at times and won a few trophies and actively contributed to the team in a positive way in stretches. Alexis Sanchez actively made the team worse to cost over £50 million in wages, to score 3 league goals.

Oh for sure, I won't miss him not one bit. Neither his character nor his intermittent footballing ability.

A lot more than 90 million when his wages are included.

 

[Green_Red]

Two tweets will remind me of his time here:
1. Pogback
2. Pogone

 

[Tap]

A massive letdown and disappointment. He will not be missed.

A smokey slightly out of focus black and white image of Sir Alex shaking his head and saying ‘I told you so….’

 

[norm87cro]

I really don't like the guy but if I could be fair to hi
m the 3 2 City was the best game he had in our shirt

 

[Tavern in the town]

I won’t.

To trust SAF judgement on academy players SAF let go.

 

[harms]

He was criticized a bit too much at the beginning for not carrying the team on his own — he obviously didn’t fulfill his full potential and failed to establish himself as a leader but damn did we do everything to feck him up as well. His time with Ibra was probably his best spell for us as Ibra had managed to steal the headlights and take him under his wing. Jose’s treatment of Pogba was a fecking crime.

The second half of his stint with us though… it’s like he wasn’t even here, except for taking his 300k+ pounds home every week.

Overall it’s a huge disappointment, of course. He never managed to maintain his peak performance even throughout one season and at some point he became completely disassociated from the team. United being a complete mess didn’t help, but ideally he would’ve been the leader to take us through that mess… he wasn’t. Injuries, transfer speculation and lack of effort would probably end up more memorable than some of his truly outstanding performances for us and it’s probably right.

Very few fans would like to see him sign another long-term contract at this point and that’s saying something.

SAF judgement was to offer Pogba a bigger contract than Juventus was offering him at the time.
