MotM.
This is where is strongly disagree. He was always playing like that, always class, only difference being he was playing in a putrid system where he was expected to do literally everything.
Sign the contract!
Excellent game, his passing is ridiculous. From deep he was spraying passes like peak Scholes. Made some great runs and passes, his dribbling is so good too. Complete player.
Great game for Pogba. His attitude has improved so much... maybe the Bruno influence? Plays it simple when he should, plays killer passes when they are on. Pace and power running with the ball. And a great goal.. good to see him happy at the club again ii think thats down to Bruno.
This.
A lot of Midfielders are rated in their teams ability on not there own.
Think of Henderson chap is a good midfielder but nothing exceptional, but as soon as Liverpool are having a great season he is the player of the season? And this is a season where KDB is most likely going to break the assot record. Nonsense.
Pogba had the opposite problem. He always created, he never hid from the ball but as long as he operated in a failing team he was the one blamed for every single dropped point. There was no way he could win.
That last 20 minutes was Pogba last season.
But I still prefer him at the back spraying passes.

Pretty much. If he played like he did tonight in a team that otherwise struggles for goals (like we previously have been) then he gets panned for being passive.
Agent training. Fixed it for you.
Good performance tonight and a good goal. I like Pogba being a little more under the radar, and I hope he likes it too.
Good solid performance. Glad he got a goal too to buoy his confidence and team contribution. Hopefully can continue such form all the way to Europa Final.
Motm absolutely supreme
Can't fathom selling him. Even 200m won't get us a better midfielder.
Been a while since I’ve seen muppet salivating of:
‘We can definitely afford it:
In:
- inferior player
- inferior player
- inferior player
Out:
Pogba - £100m
Some other rubbish for 50p.’
Best player on the pitch..
We're finally seeing the Pogba of France, allowing the attacking players to play.
He no longer has the burden of trying to carry a half arsed team every week.

He sounded skipper like in the post-match interview when he was asked about Greenwood and said that he's going to keep pushing him to get to the top
Can only imagine how much his developement would benefit from having Pogba around

The damage on the team will be far greater than whatever sum we'd accept for him. He's an absolutely vital cog.
That feeling of a gulf in talent and physicality compared to the rest of the pitch - I don't know who matches that. Maybe peak Yaya, but he wasn't as quick with his feet.
Like we always said, play him with good players in a confident team and he will shine.
He is world class (genuinely) and would walk into any team on his best form.
So glad he scored and he looked delighted. Not worried about his answer after the game, nobody talks about contract stuff in the public.
Everything he is saying is positive and i'm sure if we continue like this he will have no reason to leave, he is at home here.

Keane made a good point after the Villa game.
We've always assumed Pogba wants to be the leader, the captain, the guy who pulls the team out of trouble. Maybe that isn't the case.
At the moment Maguire is taking care of captain duties, Bruno is adding the zest we need to open defences, Rashford/Martial are scoring so all the pressure is off Pogba. He can do his own thing now without all the expectations and that's what he wanted.
He can be the top man in his own position and know that when he isn't always 100% there's others to take some of the weight.

I wouldn’t sell him for any price and there isn’t a single midfielder in world football we could get who would give us what he can.

This is the guy we all been waiting for, class apart.
Imperious really, he's a hell of a footballer. We really didn't have any reason to subject him to the nonsense we have since he's been here.
Agreed, he should honestly be on DDG money, and a 4 year+ contract now, really hoping he renews because the squad as it stands needs a few additions and its looking frightening.
Does stuff like this on a regular alongside just pinging balls and dictating the game from deep. Guys a menace on the fieldTweet

I remember when people asked what exactly does he bring to the team
What did he say after the game? And yeah discussing any contracts in public is silly... if you say you’re ecstatic to sign, you may lose leverage for wages. If you say anything it can really have an effect on the final contract
Never seen a fanbase so clueless about a player. We'd have been in lower midtable if it wasn't for him. He literally makes things happen from thin air.
He (and Bruno) are the only two that deserve that mega wage. Others should be lucky to play for United.
A 6"3 player should simply not be able to do things like that. His skill is just unfair, absolute freak. Make me sad that after he retires I can't see a player like him coming through for a long long time, just a unique talent.
Same, didn't want him feel like he was missing the party despite playing excellent since his return.
He’s playing with such discipline. Making the right decision all the time. Keeps it simple when nothing’s on. Great to see. Delighted he got a goal.
Look at how resigned Grealish looks as Pogba runs off
Delighted to see him get a goal and yet another really mature disciplined performance.
Still pretty pissed about Pogba every time I see him play with such composure and seriousness. This man can rule any midfield if he puts his mind to it, i don't know if i've ever seen a player with such a combination of physical and technical skills.
That is outrageous. The flick of his back heel to keep it away from grelish was unbelievable.
