I too will be relieved for the posters who have found the Raiola circus such a deeply traumatic experience.Hope he stays but be glad when the Raiola circus is over.
Best when? Certainly not whenever he plays in a midfield two in our 4-2-3-1 formation. Either he needs to play on the left of a three or we need to find some god-like partner to sit alongside him in a two and cover for all of his defensive shortcomings.Pogbas one of the best midfielders in the world. How the feck are Fred and McTominay being picked there instead of Pogba playing there.
Or just a defensive midfielder that can run, tackle and pass.Best when? Certainly not whenever he plays in a midfield two in our 4-2-3-1 formation.

Pogba has never consistently performed in a midfield two in his entire career. Not for Juve. Not for France. Not for us. When do we stop blaming his partners and recognise that he himself doesn't suit that role?Or just a defensive midfielder that can run, tackle and pass.
Is it too much to ask for? A player than can do all 3?
Matic can't run and Fred and McTominay can't pass.
Fergie always knew.. that’s why he stuck with a Giggs O’Shea midfield 2 and pissed Pogba off into leaving for Juve.Pogba has never consistently performed in a midfield two in his entire career. Not for Juve. Not for France. Not for us. When do we stop blaming his partners and recognise that he himself doesn't suit that role?
Even for France, against weaker opposition than what he normally faces in the league, playing at a slower tempo, and with Kante himself next to him...France pretty much always use a third midfielder when Pogba plays. Interestingly enough, they are much more likely to only use two midfielders when Pogba doesn't play.
I don't really understand why ole doesnt put him in a 3 man midfield with 2 runners, then make Bruno part of the forward line.I disagree....ever since Ole has gone to the McFred CM pairing in big matches we've been pretty damn good which is from the covid return.
No, Pogba isn't an also ran however we don't have Kante playing beside him either. Scott nor Fred can play that role next to Pogba b/c they don't have the engine that Kante does to cover for two people.
Pogba also got found out in the recent euros that against top level players he struggles playing in a two person midfield
simple....bruno is better on the ball and he's more effective playmaking from the 10 roleI don't really understand why ole doesnt put him in a 3 man midfield with 2 runners, then make Bruno part of the forward line.
Because we would have Bruno, Cristiano, Sancho, Martial, Greenwood, Cavani, Rashford fight for 3 places. And both Fernandes and Ronaldo are pretty much automatic starters.I don't really understand why ole doesnt put him in a 3 man midfield with 2 runners, then make Bruno part of the forward line.
I mean, you could play split strikers, which is basically how greenwood and ronaldo play anyway, with bruno staying in no10. And our whole frontline is most effective when it's interchanging anyway.simple....bruno is better on the ball and he's more effective playmaking from the 10 role
I think our formations tend to be kind of fluid up top, so I don't really think a 4312 is different from a 433, just with slightly different starting positions.Because we would have Bruno, Cristiano, Sancho, Martial, Greenwood, Cavani, Rashford fight for 3 places. And both Fernandes and Ronaldo are pretty much automatic starters.
Also, only formation I see this working in is 4-3-1-2, which I've almost never seen us use.
Fergie never had a problem with Pogba. Just his agent.I wonder what Fergie thinks of Pogba and the contract situation? I don’t think he’s been quoted much on if he felt he’s improved or how he’s done since he came back? It’s been pretty quiet on that front right? I can’t remember seeing anything anyway
I agree with this but Fergie tried everything to keep Pogba so I’d say he knew he wasn’t miles away either way. I’d just love to know what Fergie thinks about his second stint here. How we could get the best out of him or if we should have went for a different player instead. It’ll probably never come out.Fergie never had a problem with Pogba. Just his agent.
And it turned out Pogba was right to leave. Same with Sancho and City. When your young you have to look out for your career.
If not you might not get your break.
I'd actually kind of rate him if he went NewcastleHe will be Newcastle’s first big signing. The first £m/wk footballer. It’s in the post.
There are no valid points. Just people who are too in love with the player to see his many flaws.Forgetting off field circus, forgettign how dire our midfield is, forget his abilities, forget the supposedlack of quality around him....
Please can somebody justify how Paul Pogba, individually the player so far at United in 4/5years in central midfield here or as a left winger with all the options we have, approaching 29, justifies a whopping new contract of £400k+ a week, to be here for another 4/5years?
Its not even what side of the fence you sit on with Pogba. I just cant see how even fans can see this as a good footballing or financial decision, I would love to hear an valid point regardign this?
All the best to him.He will be Newcastle’s first big signing. The first £m/wk footballer. It’s in the post.
Gives me hope he will go back and won't accept our improved contract offer of 400k or whatever silly money we will offer him.Tweet

Probably this.Pogba and his agent couldn’t give a toss about United. Pogba will wind his contract down and the Raiola will negotiate a massive salary for Pogba and a huge commission for himself.
This is what he’s supposed to do. You guys always try to frame players looking after their interests in a negative way.Pogba and his agent couldn’t give a toss about United. Pogba will wind his contract down and the Raiola will negotiate a massive salary for Pogba and a huge commission for himself.
We all know that nobody honestly believes that, it’s just another thing to use against him.I find it amazing that people actually think that he was asked specifically about his contact at United and his reply was "I like Torino "
