Isn't that the role he played for France when they won the WC?
Paul Pogba / turned down United offer of 300k as “nothing”

Bring in Grealish for Pogba.

If he wants to leave, let him go. Thanks and goodbye.
Just hope his fanboys leave with him tbh.

I think Ole is favouring a change of formation. It would look something like this for me if we could sell Pogba and get Grealish.

Well I don't know about others, but you've convinced me
That's a valid point, especially if we're considering giving him huge payrise. Being injured for 2 months every season is a problem, not an excuse like some people on here would suggest.
So true. It's funny how people judge him as an offensive midfielder for France because apparently it's Kante job to defend. Against Switzerland, where Pogba was having a great game according to some, France midfield was full of holes as a Swiss cheese. This is exactly the same Pogba that plays for United, it's just much easier playing for a dominant team like France.
Such a shame our season didn't start in December.
My chief aim here.Well I don't know about others, but you've convinced me
By that I can assume you were also judging Kante by his creativity...
I think the club are doing the right thing by calling Pogba's bluff on this one. If he wants to go elsewhere, fine. If he wants to sign a new deal, fine, but it won't be on ludicrous money.
Personally, I don't think I have ever been as divided by a player as much as I have by Paul Pogba. I can flip between thinking he is one of the best footballers on the planet to literally believing he is the root of all of our problems from one game to the next.
My current view (subject to change!) is that Pogba is a "10+1" player. By that I mean, if you have ten other brilliant players and a defined role for Pogba, he is virtually unplayable. In this United side, especially in the PL, I feel we could probably get far more EFFECTIVE (not necessarily 'better') players in that midfield area.

Lost all interest in this saga. Time to give him and the fat man a deadline.
Either sign a 3 year extension on same wages, find a new club or start the season on the bench
Pick one one by next friday.

Yeah never mate. Little bald guy aint he?Grealish in a double pivot
You've never seen him play in your life have you?
Plot twist..
We offer him a significant pay rise but only if he sacks his agent first. I would love it

My prediction is that nobody will buy him so he'll sign an extension with a pay increase.
Or he leaves for free.
That won't happen. Zero chance.
My money would be on that being the current most likely outcome, no? More players seem to be doing that at the minute. Whether that is due to the pandemic or a change in the times, I'm not sure.
No white text? That's the most possible scenario.
Who was the last top player that that moved from a big club on a free?
Lewandowski many years ago?
I can't think of anyone recently. Big clubs just don't let it happen.
Oldies (30+) excluded of course.
Alaba just did and got a hefty contract.
Pogba will be 29 if he leaves on a free so not far off being an ‘oldie’
Another huge thing is the fact that he doesn't even fit into our current system. We give him a new contract and play him where exactly?
What could we do to stop him from leaving on a free?
SAF was right when he sold this toxicity.
I want Pogba gone too but thats a joke lineup. He would present the same problems as Pogba unless played as an lw or am.
Grealish out for a midfield who can defend and run and it’s not bad at all.

Give him a fat pay rise.
Sell him? Refuse to play him this season?
Isn't going to happen
That never happened.
Somehow on this forum, top players moving on free is believed to be the norm. As if players would reject a big contract at their existing clubs during their last year of contracts.
Either he signs the renewal or get sold. Enough of his drama. We are no longer dependent on him for creativity after Sancho signing.
We'll see.
A pay rise and stay is far more likely than him running his contract, if history is anything to go by.
He hasn't kicked a ball for us yet.
From midfield, we still are.
I think it's most likely to happen.
Does Ole trust him in midfield?
Pogba is such a talented player and I really hoped he would make it here. I think he has been good and sometimes very very good, but the whole circus with his greedy agent needs to stop asap. It is the one big negative on our summer.
The sooner we draw a line under it the better. Right now I am hoping we can sell him for £40M+ and reinvest that into someone who wants to be here.

Giving him a pay rise completely undermines the manager and destabilises the club. There are other players who will rightly have their noses put out of joint or hold the club to ransom when they come to renew, like Bruno for example.
Paying Pogba north of £350k+ a week is the thin end of the wedge that gets us moving towards a Madrid/Barcelona situation. We didn't sign young players to have them all on over £250k a week before they're 25, unless they're clearly world class. Nothing positive will come from paying Pogba and Rialoa what they're demanding.
How about the best goalkeeper on the planet?! Only 22yrs old too.
