You can't say he had everything when he's never had the right mentality. It's just as important as any technical or physical attributes.

He also lacked a crucial physical attribute in terms of being fit and able to play.
Still everybody else's fault I see.
Hopefully the board see sense in the summer and pay 90m to bring him home now we have Casemiro to help him reach his true potential.
That's what was implied when I talked about the fact that he didn't fullfil his potential, that and physical fitness as Pogue Mahone mentionned.
Lasted 20 minutes, injured again. What a disaster of a season for him
Really?? What’s up with his body?
Feel bad for him now.
Feel bad for him, played really well for 20 mins then went down in tears clutching his thigh.
1st start this season as well
His first start since leaving United too. That’s rough
Also felt he was quite slow tbh.
That’s crap. Poor lad.
He's completely finished
He's done as a pro player now, it comes across as a ong term injury.
Finished as a player. Looks like that is this season over before it even began. No doubt he will now be injured during pre season and be behind where he needs to be for next year.
I think at some point we all need to realise that Pogba is very talented player with very less commitment and not a level head.
He was advised bad by Mino Riola and then the circus which came with him. He always wanted attention like Ronaldo but didn't have the hardwork of him.
Thank God he didn't sign an extension with him because we had enough of drama queens back then

He’s had a better career than 95% of players will ever have.
How come he keeps getting injured so much?
Probably not accurate
Remember when posters here were convinced he was faking injuries for us.
Pogba has multiple league titles, a CL final, a Europa league title and a World Cup under his belt with some other miscellaneous domestic titles
He’s had a career most professional players can only dream of
It's insane how Juventus offered him such high wages considering his injury history.
Whoa. Thank feck we got rid.
Anyway, not his biggest fan, far from it, but wish him a speedy recovery.
Lots of exciting stuff happening in Dubai.
We offered him 350k/week.... Thank God he turned it down

Waiting for the morons to blame him for getting injured just like they do with Martial.
He never recovered from that one big injury he had here in 2019, probably. Something like 30 games that season with his ankle.
I’d wager a guess at that point the rest of the body overcompensates for the weaker areas in the legs and then injuries in other places become more prevalent? (No idea how scientifically accurate that is — sounds logical in my head)
We were stupid enough to offer him a bumper deal.. Raiola and his ridiculous demands saved us..
got very lucky here...
got very lucky here...
It's actually amazing that we offered him any decent contract(let alone long term contract that was over 250k which was reported back then) considering his injury record, just goes to show that we really have some idiots in our club. And that wasn't long time ago either.
I was sad when we lost him the first time, and over the moon when we got him back in 2016. I fondly remember that silly season, the transfer thread, and finally signing him!
A shame that lack of mentality combined with an awful lot of injuries the last few years stopped him from being the player that he showed that he could be during some spells.
Lost most respect for him when he started acting up and lashing out at the club around the Pogmentary release. Doesn’t seem too smart now, does it? Obviously I still wish him a speedy recovery.

At least he can get back to skiing now.
Bad? He wanted money just rewatch that shitty docu series of his and you'll see how full of himself he was.
Have no sympathy for him.
He's broke.
I’m unsure how I feel about Pogba. I never warmed to the guy when he was here but I still want him to do well but I think it’s over for him now. He’s achieved a lot medals wise but ability wise he never reached the heights he could have
Ole happened.
He had niggling problems under Mourinho but nothing serious and were never out for more than 4 games at most. Then Ole rushed him back from his foot injury in Dec 19, he immediately relapsed and since then his injuries blew up exponentially.
And Jones
Pogba, Neymar, Hazard, Ozil, Sanchez. A shame to see players who were world class in their mid 20s and even before, end their careers like this.
