Yeah, if he’s asking for top money and he keeps up his injury and form he’s another Sanchez waiting to happen to some club

No longer our problem in a few months. I've nothing else to say on him.
Just so unfit at the moment. He looks heavy and can barely run.
Please let him go, he is so up & down and it’s not going to work out for us.
No excuse for him not to be able to play beyond an hour. Why is he so unfit?
If he starts versus Atletico we are toast.

No idea what was the position he even played today. One good pass for the goal is the only time i even remember him having the ball. Shocking performance just like the rest of them
Is he even any good as an AM?
can't wait to see him leave
I liked his position in the first half . He was used as a target man to bypass the press and receive the vertical balls. But he isn't that type of player.
I think in our system at the Bruno role he’d still be very good (fitness aside) the thing is with these guys it’s a pretty much a free role and Pogba fitness and motivation wise is not even approaching dependable. For that kind of money, on all balance, we’ve already got Bruno who is just as good aka : prone to go missing in the biggest games but obviously a baller in a team that isn’t very good. Bruno is fit more often, seems more motivated to be here, will only be hitting current Pogba money on his next deal and has shown form. I’d like to keep Pogba on realistic money and see how we can still fit him in too, he’s currently better on the left or as a 8.5 than someone like Rashford but then it’s hard to leave Elanga or Sancho out? Without Ronaldo I think we’d be doing a little better by now on the balance but morale and motivation look shaky either way to say the least.
He was playing almost like a striker today?
Yes, but when he was (occasionally) deeper in our own half, he created more problems for us than for City. It's the final third he is effective.
I do not think we will ever learn though. He will be back in midfield soon.
Unfit you're saying? Aye that's one way of reading it! He's not unfit, he's simply not mithered.
Rangnick would never play if his issues were down to laziness, I have no doubt that. The man, in his current shape, cannot perform more than 55-60min before he shuts down completely.
Yep. We got rid of van de Beek because apparently he was bad at trainings (so I've heard on here).

Aye, maybe. The thing is that, from what I've seen so far, I don't rate ragnick either.
It's a bit different to that. He should be putting himself in the shop window to get his big move to his dream club. I thought we'd see the best of him in his last months.
I wonder if he's being subbed first everytime now because of the heart monitors the players wear which I think indicate who is flagging. There's a possibility that his Covid is still affecting his breathing too.

What I find hilarious is that there are still people who believe this waste is world class. Let him go dominate in France. Can't wait till he's gone. Don't wanna see him play again for united.
One moment encapsulated him yesterday. Par for the course. Gave away a stupid ball, then jogged back. He was bailed out on that occasion. But when players like he, maguire are your senior pros, no wonder tools are downed at the first sight of adversity.
We need a massive clear out. Noone should be safe.

But it's not like he has decided now he is looking for a move. This situation has been going on for almost 1,5 a year (when his agent announced Pogba wants to leave). So it's likely he already has a move arranged. He's a senior player, I doubt interested clubs need another few months of assessment.
Not rating him is fine but he's showed he doesn't hesitate to sub and/or bench any player in the squad (except Bruno
)I'm sure Ralf wouldn't have minded keeping but the damage was already done by Ole and Ralf did little to convince VDB to stay
Not sure if our offer still stands but we should let him go and take back the offer. We need to burn this squad and keeping ( trying) Pogba will be step in wrong direction.
Maybe, maybe. At the moment I question everything that he does.Not rating him is fine but he's showed he doesn't hesitate to sub and/or bench any player in the squad (except Bruno
I'm sceptical he has got a move arranged at this point. I think he's holding out for Madrid but if they get Mbappe then they won't get Pogba.
He's been like this for years now. He's looked heavy on his feet for at least the last two seasons.
The problem is trying to play CM whilst being built like a light heavyweight boxer. It doesn't work.
It's fine against teams like Burnley who don't bother with midfield play but it will always get shown up against teams who move and shift the ball quickly in central areas.
It's quite amazing what those Dubai facilities can do for your fitness, right @JPRouve ?
I know. I just find it funny some people believe vdb was bad at training and after 3 sessions Ralf decided to send him on loan.
Don't quote me with this kind of things.
I don't understand why we have offered him a new contract. He doesn't suit the team we are or the team we are trying to be.
Oh yeah we did. That was months ago too, gone radio silent since then? Surely he wont take it and move on
Commercial reasons.
I’m surprised Pogue or Nou Camp haven’t posted this….You’d have thought they’d be all over these stats. Absolute disgrace isn’t it? Supposedly world class….World Cup winner and he’s THE reason for these stats
Is that it? He made two good passes, hardly great
As is regularly the case when we play City, Pogba is the one player capable of playing at that level. Then he gets criticised because the team shat the bed. We lost any composure when he left the field.
Yep. The only one capable of accurate long passes into space, we needed him to stay on to break the lines. Starting to think many in our fan base are clueless, expect the few genuinely good players we have to drag the likes of mcfred, maguire, an out of form rashford to wins in big games.
How would you describe Bruno’s performance then?Is that it? He made two good passes, hardly great
Probably the most unfit 'physical monster' of a player I've ever seen.
What ragnick needed to do last Sunday was simple. Bring out fernades for rashford, mctominay for matic and move Pogba deeper let him and matic get the ball forward to elanga, Sancho and rashford. He instead took off Pogba for lingard.
Haha. A 1 minute clips that shows ... a few decent passes, but leaves out his misplaced ones and jogging around when giving the ball away.
Good old YouTube.
Capable of brilliant moments. Always will be. But way too much of his time being lazy and useless. Thank God his contract nearly up.
