It’s just a silly cartoon depicting an argument between two popular figures who have been arguing in public. Like it wasn’t funny but it also wasn’t racist.

Pogba on the differences between Ole & Mourinho

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I would rather that than to be getting offended at every second thing I see and on other people’s behalf. If something is actually worth calling out then I’ll do it.
Indeed. Then again, if I remember correctly, this story doesn't amount to Big Ron positively ostracizing or otherwise mistreating the players who weren't "his" (unlike Jose, you could say).
So, the players who weren't "his" at any particular time might have considered him a bit of a twat for having favourites - but then again might not have downright resented him. I dunno, to be honest - it's just a story at the end of the day. But I do think it's a more or less true story.
What was the deleted cartoon?
A cartoon of an angry Pogba shouting at Jose who is sitting chilling on a sun lounger with a drink not caring.
Or maybe he really doesn't care? Its not like PP has lit his own performances on fire at United. Save for his latest purple patch that has made fans forget PP "wanting to leave united" and his agent telling us how we're not good enough, he's hardly been worth it. Jose was a cancer, I am glad he is gone. But I wish we focus on winning the league and put every other distraction aside.
Sounds like a shite cartoon.
Pogba wasn't angry at all. And Jose wasn't chilling at all. If anything, most people seem to agree that his "don't care" stance came across as a bit desperate.
Well that's what opinions do, spark debate. Debate is fine, indeed important. But fair enough.
I used to think he did it to motivate them and wasn't very good at judging who it does/doesn't work for, but if it is even that to start with after a while it just changes to pointless spite. Like when he basically claimed Luke Shaw was too stupid to play at left back. Or the "this is why I don't pick these players" rubbish because we lose one game with Martial and Rashford up front instead of Lukaku.
It was always a bit of a two way thing with Pogba as he likes to play out drama to the media himself which I don't like about him at all, but the difference is with Mourinho there's a nasty and toxic side to it. With Pogba it's more just a character trait...he doesn't end up actively trying to fall out and cause problems with his own team like Mourinho does.
True, and you begin to wonder how did Jose have so much success earlier in his career. Did the Real job change something in him? Was he just lucky to have players with the right mentalities at Chelsea and Inter? Whatever it was, it clearly isn't working anymore. I'll admit to having a soft spot for him, despite all this, but I'd never want him anywhere near my team these days.
Sorry for The Scum link, but this is a handy summary of the history of the Pogba / Mourinho beef and a useful reminder of how grim times eventually became under Jose

Rashford can be world class, so can Greenwood. Shaw is the best LB in the league right now. No other club has to pick between two GK's the standard we have. AWB will only improve. We haven't seen the best of Donny, Amad.
We have PLENTY of good things going on at this club bar Pogba.
It's not as black and white as people make out. Yes he's a good player, but he isn't the SOLE reason we do well. He's just a player, like everyone else
If anything it should have been the other way around because Pogba couldn't give a feck for the most part when Jose was actively trying to get fired.
