We should never take him off unless the fixture has been sealed. He is the creator. Our best player.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

It's still registered as an assist if it comes off a post or if a keeper saves it in fantasy terms.
In fantasy football maybe but some stat sites like whoscored thankfully don't register those as assists.
This is what a 'free' Pogba can do!
Love seeing this guy play - and with Matic & Fellaini/Herrera behind him he will have a lot more opportunities to shop his quality offensively.

Beast. Best central midfielder in the league. This will be a phenomenal season from him. 
What a finish
The goals were coming eventually. he looks much more relaxed than last year, where he probably felt every touch was being judged against his price tag.
Was getting frustrated in the first half with 11 men in front of him but as soon as we scored and the game opened up he came into his own.
If you ever want evidence of how Pogba will always be under massive, disproportionate scrutiny, then look at the analysis of his fouls and the questions in his post-match interview in comparison to the treaterment of Leroy Fer, who could have received a straight red for either his tackles.
Finally getting the numbers he deserved last season
90 OVR in Fifa 18 incoming. His football's too easy on the eye, sometimes.
Another sign of maturity, how he kept his cool after yellow.

For £89m he's got to be scoring that header..
Immense second half. Absolutely world class player and for a midfielder 24 is a baby. The space Matic is creating for him is really helping him run riot. Be interesting seeing his performances in the tighter games where Herrera will be added to offset the inevitable closing down.

Great start of the season. This is his season to shine and he's proving that quickly.

I just wish Jose takes him off for a breather or two when we have sealed the game in the near future. We can't afford to not have him on the pitch

He's always better in the second half when he plays higher on the pitch.
My MOTM.

There is a tendency to almost micro-analyse Pogba's play.
Pogba had a wonderful game today, he used the ball really well, created chances, scored a goal and tackled well.
Yet people focus on the occasional misplaced pass or failed dribble.

Was stuck out on the left too often in the first half. Much more impressive when he was playing further up once Fellani came on
Not sure if this is a serious comment but that header was an absolute bullet. The keeper got a solid hand to it and still couldn't stop it going past him, it was a great header.
Reminded me a bit of Ronaldo headers actually.
Mancini used to do the same with Yaya Toure.
Don't think he was great, but he was good again.
Pogba is love, Pogba is life.
It wasn't serious.
Brilliant player and a steal at the price we paid. Still not a patch on Hendo la but he is slowly getting there.
MOTM today imo heavily involved in three of the four goals.
Good game! I was delighted he got his goal to shut them up.
Agree with this. Doesn't matter if he's on a yellow, just means he won't track back as much. Still our most creative player, and even before he scored he had a good game. In fact, probably deserved man of the match instead of Mkhi.
Apologies, hard to tell sometimes on here
Leroy Fer is a rubbish, thuggish player. Obviously there is never going to be the same level of expectations. It is a bit unfair but it's how it is.
fecking Sky interviewer going on again about "could Pogba have been sent off", that second incident wasn't even a bloody foul never mind a yellow.
Our boy is growing and maturing! Love the composure after he got that harsh yellow, instead of being a fool and getting sent off he opted to relax and let his skills talk.
Great finishing, goal and assist, taste of what to come in abundance hopefully.
MOTM material alongside Bailly.

Someone in the matchday thread wanted him subbed for Fellaini. 
What about now?
Surely you can see that the breadth of qualities he offers is something you very rarely see? Last week we had the "unbelievably weighted pass" and the effortless finish from range. Today we had the bullet header for the first, the clever interception and delicate chip for the 3rd, the acceleration and composure in the 4th...and it's not like he was coasting by like a luxury player the rest of the team. He was right there in the thick of things on and off the ball.
To me it's difficult to understand how anyone can see his full array of talents on display and fail to acknowledge the fact he's a genuinely special player.
He was at sixes and sevens in the first half and possibly lucky not to be sent off, but luckily for us he got his shit together in the second.
Not his best performance, and I'm surprised he's leading the man of the match vote, but ultimately he will be judged on his numbers, and like last week, he bagged himself an assist and a goal, which he took superbly.
He has the ability to bag at least 10 league goals this season.

That would have been an extremely harsh sending off. None of those challenges were even remotely dangerous.
I think his defensive contributions are underappreciated. His all around game and understanding has developed significantly since he first rejoined United.
I was a bit worried he was going get sent off, he looked frustrated in the first half even though he threaded through some nice passes, his discipline in the second half was great and he's killer on the counter, lovely composure on his finish.
The numbers will never reflect his performances for us I feel. He will get a few goals and assists but that doesn't show how every important play we have runs through him.
After a clumsy 30 minutes, he was very good, growing into the game with a more mature approach to tackling and some very clinical attacking play. He is clearly benefitting from Matic as an anchor and Lukaku stretching opposition defenses creating him space to do his magic. Very good he is also scoring which contributes to his confidence.
I enjoyed his performance, but again let's wait til mid-November (after we've played other top 6 sides + CL games) to see if he has made the next step up from last season into becoming genuinely and consistently world class game changer. Fair?
Goal and assist today. Superb player.
