Agreed. So I would not expect a high fee to defray the high salary. He is not a bad player but not United level. We just were so desperate with our initial CBs that we paid through the nose for him. He will never live up to that price tag. Hopefully we get Varane healthy and we go with him and Victor next year and bring in a CB.
The man is clearly delusional, those are all easy passes to make when you have no one putting pressure on you.
His arrogance would be hard to take at any time, but after this disaster of a season its totally out of order; he has no humility what so ever.
Well said, another example is the quotes Pogba gave in the latest international break talking about how he is moved all over the place and how it's affected his football.
Incredible
Pogba has always believed the hype and crap written about him, its never ever his fault.
The line between self belief and delusion is seemingly very thin for our players.
He' too busy sitting at home watching the Norwich highlights.
It's ridiculous tbh. I bet Modric won't be seen retweeting his unreal pass vs Chelsea.Oh wow, you can't be serious.
He reminds me of Lukaku with his over inflated ego and insecurity at the same time. He never was and never will be fit to be a United captain. He would never have any sort of reputation in an era around Rio, Terry, Campbell, Adams, King, Carragher, Woodgate, etc. I have always believed he is a Joleon Lescott level player - i.e. a good PL player but not the bedrock of a top Club's defence. Although this season, not even sure we can call him that.
Especially when he in the same match made a few that completely sailed over the head of his teammate out for a throw-in.

It's so depressing how we cut loose so many quality players but kept junk around for years on bloated contracts and recruited even worse players on higher wages.
Darren Farley is truly unfunny.
Fair post although it’s now on the club to admit they made a mistake & marginalise his influence ala Kepa @ Chelsea.
Agreed. The novelty runs out fast. He is exhausting to watch.
This is the only thing I do not feel for any player.
If he's not one of the players sold this summer I think Ten Hag is going to have dressing room issues. You can't have a senior player, a captain no less , speak like that to the press- imagine what he says behind closed doors?
There's no delusion here. He knows he's shite. He's protecting his image and you'd do the same if you were a professional athlete in the modern era. He has 6-7 more years to his career and he needs to make money.
They don't have to sell him, just not play him. They've done it quite readily with the likes of Bailly and van de Beek. If he's still one of the first names on the team sheet next season, that's where the problems will start.
