I have a feeling (dread? nausea?) that Fellani will stay. He's playing hard ball but if Jose wants him as much as it seems...
When I look at where Manchester United should be, and where we are now, the list of players Jose will be willing to get rid of is almost endless:
Phil Jones
Marcos Rojo
Chris Smalling
Michael Carrick
Daley Blind
Ashley Young
Luke Shaw
Zlatan Ibrahimović
Antonio Valencia
Marouane Fellaini
Matteo Darmian
Jesse Lingard
Ideally the new squad will look something like:
De Gea/Romero
RB/RB/Bailly/Lindelof/Fosu-Mensah/CB/LB/LB
Matic/Herrera/Pereira/McTominay/CM
RW/RW/Mata/Sanchez/Pogba/Martial
Lukaku/Rashford
That would bring us up to speed with Manchester City.
In reality we're likely to have to keep some of the dross, so the squad will be more like:
De Gea/Romero
Valencia/Jones/Bailly/Lindelof/Fosu-Mensah/CB/Young/LB
Matic/Herrera/Pereira/McTominay/CM
Lingard/Mata/Sanchez/Pogba/Martial
Lukaku/Rashford
I totally agree but we lack options in the transfer market. A player of his quality who (might) be a better fit, would cost well over 100m in today’s inflated market. Unless someone is willing to spend a ridiculous amount on PP, it wouldn’t make sense to sell him. We are losing Carrick and possibly Fellaini, they need replacing, especially Carrick. McTom’s recent success might save us from signing 2 midfielders, remains to be seen however how he gets on for the remainder of this season.I jest. He was playing well until his injury. And until his sending off against Arsenal. And until Sanchez was signed. And when we moved him to the left side of midfield. And...
I like Pogba but my God he could have done more since re-signing.
£15M for Darmian is pie on the sky, unless we can find a club that hasn't seen him actually play in the last 3 years.Carrick
Zlatan
Fellaini
Blind - £15M
Darmian - £15M
Shaw - £20M
Pereira - £20M
I thought Pereira would cut it with us, I'm so disappointed we might sell.Carrick
Zlatan
Fellaini
Blind - £15M
Darmian - £15M
Shaw - £20M
Pereira - £20M
We are notoriously bad at getting value for our players in the transfer market.Carrick
Zlatan
Fellaini
Blind - £15M
Darmian - £15M
Shaw - £20M
Pereira - £20M
We are notoriously bad at getting value for our players in the transfer market.
Can't see us getting anymore than 10m each for Blind, Periera and Darmian maybe 20m for shaw.
Can also see Smalling and/or Jones going £20m each
Pogba 50/60m maximum
And maybe even Martial if price is right . So include Zlatan, Carrick, Fellaini and we have a massive transfer market ahead of us
Carrick
Zlatan
Fellaini
Blind - £15M
Darmian - £15M
Shaw - £20M
Pereira - £20M
I hope he goes, his personality is not suited to a top team, he is like a young child with his tantrums.Rumours will always be there but no way that we will sell pogba.
1) he is 25 year old
2) we payed him 100 mil
3) he is our only creative midfielder and he is our best midfielder despite his current bad form
4) carrick will leave. Maybe fellaini. So we will be short in midfield
5) he is our and adidas brand
yesNot meant to bash Pogba, but humour me. If Real come to Manchester in the summer and offer 150M for Pogba. Would you take it?
Why would they offer that much money? He's done nothing to deserve that. If they came with that money it'd be the sale of the century!I jest. He was playing well until his injury. And until his sending off against Arsenal. And until Sanchez was signed. And when we moved him to the left side of midfield. And...

Because Jose has fallen out with him, combined with his poor performances. I think it will be a perfect storm of a manager who wants him gone, a player who wants out and an agent who will welcome another payday.Based on what? Because he is going through a bad patch?.
I think we would do well to recoup what we paid for him, and probably won't.That would require an attractive club, willing to pay his current £17m (ish) salary and a transfer fee £100m+. Most of the top sides don't appear remotely interested. PSG might have been an option but they are already committed to buying Mbappe for a huge sum.
Pogba is stuck at United whether he likes it or not. His contract is until summer 2021 + 1 year option.
Not a chance, he’s a long term project.As I said in his performance thread I suspect that Pogba will be gone in the summer.
No, there a reason why they might offer 150 million. It's not because he's shit.Not meant to bash Pogba, but humour me. If Real come to Manchester in the summer and offer 150M for Pogba. Would you take it?

Long term project for footballing or brand purposes?Not a chance, he’s a long term project.
I actually think the club would get rid of Mourinho before Pogba actually. If he’s potentially one of the best players around and Mourinho can’t get a tune out of him then it’s bye bye Jose.
I hate Stephen Ireland with a passion - the fittest player on the field, who came on in the 66th minute, failed to track the least fit field player (actually probably the second least fit given Neville started), who started, in the 93rd minute. Scholes scoring in the 93rd minute, or indeed doing ANYTHING after 70 if the five foot six stocky ginger asthmatic started rather than coming on as a sub, was an indictment to the other team from 2008 onwards.Pogba will go too as i think ever since the League Cup Final jose has seen a problem with our midfield when Pogba neglects his defensive duties - watch the home game against Stoke Stephen Ireland should have scored 2 goals that night as Pogba never tracked back leaving Matic to do it all on his own at 30 years old no wonder he looked tired
I wouldn't. He can be a special. Our manager has to get the most out of players like Pogba, Martial, Sanchez etc. If we do that we'll be a frightening team for anyone to face.Not meant to bash Pogba, but humour me. If Real come to Manchester in the summer and offer 150M for Pogba. Would you take it?

There’s such a huge amount of average players in our squad. It was said when Jose came in that he liked working with a small squad, so I don’t really understand why he’s kept so many average players on. Rojo I can understand, he was in good form last season, but you can’t tell me Darmian and Blind were ever going to play a part this year.I've been more dissapointed with our lack of outgoing transfers than incoming ones for a while. Does Jose really need 3 seasons to get rid of Darmian, Rojo, Blind? How many more years are we going to be satisfied with having full backs poor in attack like Valencia/Young and limited midfielders like Fellaini? At what point are we going to realise that we need better than Smalling as first choice CB?
