Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
What do you not agree with?
Its quite obvious he's a Woodward marquee signing that backfired terribly.
Get rid. I think our biggest challenge is to find a club who will take him.
I'd like him to stay and knuckle down, but I don't see it. Even if he signed a new 5 year deal, you just know there'll be rumblings of him wanting out every window. It's tiresome.
We look terrible and utterly uncreative without him, but we are frustrating with him. He's unbelievably talented, but we rarely see him operating to full capacity. Not for us anyway.
It'd be annoying if he goes somewhere else and tears it up though.

Not sure I'd go as far as "quite obvious" but I think it's probably the case. Raiola would have sold it by getting Ed to believe that bringing Pogba "home" would be setting right a terrible wrong SAF did by letting him go. Little or no thought as to how we would play with him in the side, and alongside whom, or even if he was really the sort of player Jose would want to depend on. Given how long it seems to take for United to conclude even simple signings, I wonder whether the Pogba process started even before the decision was taken to get rid of LvG.
The player hasn't helped himself through his inconsistency, occasionally lackadaisical play and apparent flirting with Madrid, but the circumstances under which he has been at United certainly havn't helped.
Get him sold if he doesn't want to be here, the problem is he is a very good player and will be difficult to replace with our current standing and performances
Ideally I'd keep him but if we can't get the best out of him I suppose we may as well strengthen and form a midfield that actually is cohesive and tactically sound.
It’s similar to Phil Jones and his injuries. A good player might be in there somewhere, but what’s the point if you never see it?
When has Pogba performed like a 600k a week player over time?
Pogba is top top class when he is on song but feck paying that kind of money.Good post, at this stage he is causing more problems to the team than solving them.
1. He needs runners to help him.
2. If he was playing in a better team he would player of the year apparently.
3. Whatever position he is played in his wrong.
4. £100 million pound midfielders aren’t expected to score goals apparently, good job because it’s coming up on 8 months from open play (including the better team France)
5. Stupid fecking haircuts when he was been bumming around stealing a living
6. Rochdale reserve players look more accomplished than him
7. Wants 600k a week, what the hell has done to deserve that?
8. Let’s his family and agent talk shit about the club and has never ever once apologised for it.
9. “Injured” too much, someone mentioned world class players are playing too many games. In 2018 this bum played 47 games for club and country when he won the fecking World Cup.
10. Crap at penalties
When has Pogba performed like a 600k a week player over time?
When his last great game?
I wouldn’t pay him £600 a week
We are definitely not the biggest club dude.
Fans we most definitely are dude, performances maybe the shittest
600k my ass, he is wildly inconsistent, has an attitude problem, no fight or desire and isn't as good as he thinks he is.
Would be leaving the dumpster fire of a club that is Manchester United
Ask yourselves, who's been involved with your club since SAF left and performed at a higher than passable level, at best? Meanwhile, nearly everyone was/is/becomes better the moment he leaves?
When everyone has a problem with you, chances are you are the problem...
Got any evidence of this?
Why is he the focus of people bile again?
Because while being about as useful as a wet fart he would now like £600,000 a week to play like a wet fart.
If we can keep Paul Pogba and he is willing to stay we should. He’s pretty much the best thing about our side when he’s fully fit.
People don’t pay to watch McT and Perreira turn out for us. If he wants to leave though just let him and fingers crossed we reinvest the money on 2 or 3 top midfielders in their early 20’s.
Players like Van Der Beek and Declan Rice I wouldn’t mind signing but even then where do our goals come from in midfield? We need a third signing who is lethal as a number 10.

I think we know he's bouncing next summer, I just hope for once we are prepared and know how we are going to replace him, it's not just a case of buying one player, with a restructured midfield it's really 2.
I remember the fury here when Rooney (our top scorer and the guy who often won us games with his goals) asked for a pay rise while supposedly threatening to leave. So where are those people now when Pogba clearly wants to leave and is demanded £600,000 (feck know how much more than rooney wanted) while failing to dominate the midfield against rochdale. sooner we see the back of him the better. I'm afraid Ole's love of him says rather too much about the boss 
take the £150m and buy a real world-class player or two
take the £150m and buy a real world-class player or twomaybe because he was outplayed by rochdale's midfield
The fact Pogba was not the captain against Rochdale while Tuanzebe was, says everything.
Pogba wont be here next season. But I wont blame him for wanting out. The board has completely sabotaged the team with its complete incompetence in strengthening the squad.
We will be lucky to finish Top 10.

Who isn't nowadays?
He's paul pogba on paper.
On the field he's far from being paul pogba. He's a great player if he can be arsed. At this rate i dont think he cares about the club.

It's always polemic with Paul.
ThisWith our board and this manager?
Bingo!
600k a week for this fraud!? After 3 seasons why’s he’s suddenly going to turn it on for us. He has 5 minute flashes of brilliance and the rest he’s utter turd. Nobody doubts the talent is there but the application and desire to put a shift in for 90 minutes has been lacking since day one. Heart of a mouse.
Would people be happy if we sold Pogba and spent the money on Maddison, Rice and Eriksen ? I’m happy with either to be honest as I’m happy to keep Pogba if he puts in 100% and signs a new contract but then signing those three to replace him we’d be getting three players that always put in 100% every game.
I’d swap him for Maddison in a heartbeat.
Bite your hand off for Maddison Rice and Erikson for Pogba. Sadly we arent going to get anywhere near that much cash for Pogba. He will be in and out of the treatment room this year. Only hope of 100m plus is if Zidane is doing a great job at Real.
Pogba does not deserved the 600K salary and don't even deserved his current salary. Let him go for the 150mil and use the money to get someone similar like Lazio SM Savic who is of the same size with the same power. Probably United with have gotten rid of someone who has bad influence on the team.
Get rid. He doesn't deserve to be here. Let him go to Madrid and I'm sure they will not win a CL or La Liga before we do. They are finished without Ronaldo, as Barca will be without Messi.
Why are we even arguing over a fictitious news story made by the sun fecking newspaper?
haven’t you guys got better things to do then keep worrying about pogba headcases the lot of you!

headcases the lot of you!Really? When are you estimating us to even challenge for CL again?
People talking like the £600k story is real
Look, he's frustrating as anything but if he's willing to buckle down and stay, then I'm all for it. I couldn't care less what he's paid (it wouldn't be £600k in any case). He's quite simply our most talented outfield player and is the one quality midfielder we have. He's not Scholes, or even a Carrick but he's massively important to us if we want to progress as a club from where we currently are in the immediate and short term.
For what it's worth, I think if he does end up signing it'll be for something around £500k p/week. Which is a feck tonne of money, but after the Sanchez deal it was always going to be on the cards.
