Funny how everyone keeps saying this yet can’t answer the question. I have googled it and can’t find any evidence of Pogba spending season after season in Dubai during the winter.
Pogba's contract offer
- Thread starter Mylock
- Start date
Without doing the authoritative research (through a PL or MUFC source) to back it up, it does seem as though Pogba has been in recovery from injury for a very substantial period of time during his 6 seasons under contract with United.
But even if that's a myth, is it not factually undeniable that Pogba has spent most of this season out with injury?
Could be pure shite, but this is what MEN claim as of 10 November 2021, before he

Since he joined United five years ago Pogba has missed 71 matches sidelined through illness or injury with a combined lay-off of 304 days spread across 13 separate setbacks.

Last winter when he was rehabilitating from injury he was sharing Instagram posts of himself in Dubai. Just look at the dates of his Instagram posts.

I don't have anything against taking a short holiday to Dubai during breaks by the way. But when the season is running you should be at the club training ground.
Another google search shows it was approved by Ole. Really don’t see why it’s a big deal he’s in Dubai if he’s not even fit enough to train let alone play. Do you want him to hand out bibs or something?
A quick search reveals that Pogba has had 3 independent spells in Dubais - October 2019, November 2021 and January 2022, although there was no mention of how long each stay was, though Im sure none of them was just a weekend break. In all he has missed over 100 matches through injury and has played 252, though theres no record of how many he actually completed. Anybody who thinks that this is a record any professional sportsman or woman could be proud of is either obsessed with the cult of Pogba or just daft.Because I'm at fecking work!Google it yourself, I'm not your secretary
Not just Dubai, i remember he went to France when injured helping his brother out in a charity match when we played Burnley
I couldn't give a feck who approved it I care less he did it. All I was doing was responding to a post where someone criticised another poster and claimed Pogbas trips to Dubai weren't documented, the Google linked shows they were and he did go several seasons during the winter.
Pretty sure Van Dijk was in Dubai after doing his ACL.
Pogba has mostly had muscle belly tears and some ankle issues.
If he's got the proper support and he's doing his time in the gym, I don't see why it's a problem if it's in Dubai.
Should he have been in Manchester binging Friday Night Lights?

Nice choice place to commit that.
Or could try to bring drugs to Singapore or Thailand, much challenging than Netherlands.
According to The Times, he had agreed personal terms with city, but pulled out of the deal due to fears over backlash. Personally couldnt care less if he did end up at city for next season.
I'm not sure if he was worried about a backlash from City fans or United
Wow so he's missed almost 30% of available games and under Mou he was dropped too.
Cant wait until hes gone

Why the feck would anyone consider playing him against Palace?
Play someone who will give a shit about what competitions we'll be in next season.

Assuming this isn't just made up (how can we get 'POGBA' and 'UNITED' into a story about the pitch invasions?), what on Earth is Pogba worried about here? He's never received any particular malice from opposition fans before?
Actually screw it, 99% that's just made up - I don't understand how ESPN is so spectacularly trash for football, when it's pretty solid for all north American sports. Between Ogden and Dawson, 9 out of 10 articles are negative, over-the-top ABU click bait.
Good. He shouldn't be near the team anyway.
It means from United supporters, United are the visiting team
Ah, fair, but still. What's he worried we're going to do - say some mean things about him from the stands?
(for the record, really think the hatred towards him is ridiculous - he's a footballer and it didn't work out, people need to get over it)
Why would anybody at Palace "target" Pogba? I think hes been asked to play and simply doesnt want to so came up with this as an excuse. But why would Rangnick select him anyway? The sooner Pogbas out of United the better!
Zero ambition if he goes to Juve. Makes no sense at all, the suck. What a joke.
Does anybody really think our own supporters will have a go at Pogba? Many, probably most, may not want him at United but I cant believe he would be physically threatened in any way; maybe he might get called a few names and, though I dont agree with that sort of thing its hardly life threatening.
I think it's just the disrespect shown towards United by his family, agent etc that grinds United Fans. Him being a expensive flop certainly rankles but not as much as his being quiet when everyone around him were shouting their gob off!
Something like 90% of games he missed due to injury have happened in autumn/winter. All of his lengthier ones have occurred around that time, in fact, except for last year when he was out in February and March.
2017: missed 12 games through September and November.
2019: missed 17 games from October until the end of the year.
2020/21: missed 19 games from December until the end of the season.
2021: missed 10 games in February and March.
2021/22: missed 14 games from November to February.
PSG and Pogba are a match made in heaven. He'll have 4-5 difficult games tops per season which will leave him ample time to change hair styles and dab. If only he can persuade them to sign his mate JBeanz as well
Not saying that he did anything in Dubai, and it's no one's business what he does anyway, but I know for a fact he got up to no good (as did Martial) with a girl I know who worked at United.

If true, good riddance. Bon voyage. Arrivederci. Ciao. Adios.
United → Juventus (free) → United → Juventus (free)
We sign him back in 2 years?

Possibly the worst series of deals in football history.
Bring him through our youth system. He fecks off for free. Wins a handful of league titles at Juventus. Comes back for a world record fee. Is absolute shite and toxic. Fecks off again for free.

Paul, is that you?
Just glad it's all over for both parties. What a waste of time that was for him and the club.
I'm sure he'll give lots of interviews where he'll say he was never loved at United, that he never should have left Juve in the first place, that Juve is his real home and that's all ok: He's not our problem anymore
It's finally over!!!!

It's finally over!!!!Feels right he's back there, can see him doing well. Coming to United was like going against the grain somehow. Both parties really should've done more for a move 2-3 years ago.
Isnt that A LOT lower??
His desire to move back there is really weird to me. They aren’t going to compete in Europe any time soon.
Good. Bye. Thanks for the memory.
Easy street ain't it, league titles left and right and made to feel a hero.
What an awful career trajectory he has had.
Can't believe Juventus have got Pogba for free twice while we had to pay £80m for that spell, fecking robbery. He'll definitely be class too.
The hate people have on here for Pogba is really unhealthy I've rarely seen such bitterness towards one footballer and have to wonder why.
I know people will make up nonsense about his family or agent but even if true is still extremely bitter hatred for little reason.
In five years time when he's long gone people here will still posting how much they hate him.
