We aren't a normal club.In a normal situation, the club shouldn't have extended Bruno before ETH was made official

And people wonder why we're in the state we're in now. Extending the contract of a player who's done jack shit for 5 seasons would be a step in the wrong direction.Rumour has it that Ten Hag is a big Pogba fan, and is trying to convince the club to keep him.
I hope this is true. Win-win if that's the case! Our midfield needs work and losing Pogba, who is our best midfielder, would be a step in the wrong direction.
Indeed, but even if Bruno wasn't offered a new deal, he would still be contracted to the club till 2026, the extension was probably to raise his pay, not the right move by the club but it won't be a major issue for the incoming manager.In a normal situation, the club shouldn't have extended Bruno before ETH was made official
Menos que un club.We aren't a normal club.
5 years of rubbish and half arsing it and some fans would still be happy to kerp him. The stupidity that runs through this club is bafflingRumour has it that Ten Hag is a big Pogba fan, and is trying to convince the club to keep him.

I think Pogba is central to ETH's plans, which means that it is well worth offering him a new contract!Unless ETH is coming in with a big fecking plan that includes pogba getting a team around him this summer, he needs to go otherwise hes going to be close to useless and on the decline by the time the squad has been reshaped.
Then the board need to spend some serious money to make pogba effective in this team over the summer!I think Pogba is central to ETH's plans, which means that it is well worth offering him a new contract!
It's just another clue among many, Rangnick has not even ounce of power over anything in this club whatsoever.I don't actually believe it but if the club have offered him a massive bumper contract we're going fecking no where until the people making these decisions are removed from the club.
We had a poll, 85% didn't want him signing a new deal.Anybody who thinks its a good idea we offer Pogba a new contract of £4-500k a week needs to have a word with themselves. Thats as mental as not seeling him when he was supposedly worth £70m odd a couple of years ago. Forget the ability and world cups, hardly been our worst player but he isnt worth half the salary and lets not forget he is 30 this time next year
I can clearly see that happening mainly because club's sheer inability to find proper midfielders in place of Pogba.Anybody who thinks its a good idea we offer Pogba a new contract of £4-500k a week needs to have a word with themselves.

I think Rangnick's influence has waned along with the results. He said when he came into the role he would have a say on who the next manager was and he may even recommend himself for another year (or until Enrique is available I believe), and he also said he would move upstairs for 2 years as a consultant.It's just another clue among many, Rangnick has not even ounce of power over anything in this club whatsoever.
Ten Hag will need to shake entire club with a shock therapy or I can't see one thing happening.
Interim option can do a lot, we've seen that before, but to look at it from perspective, we hired quite a good manager in Rangnick, if he'll be ignored in the end, it's such a travesty.I think Rangnick's influence has waned along with the results.

Now he's saying he's just being kept in the loop regarding managerial interviews and the consultancy role is becoming a "we'll call you if we've got any questions outside of the first team" gig instead.
I don't think it's any coincidence that it's come to this after how shit this season has gone.
Which is madness. Forgetting Poga during his spell here the player is far frim irreplacable, he hasnt been very good, lets be honest, only 2/3 genuine spells of top quality, but there are literally loads of potential signings for the central midfield spot, some we have already missed out on, some very expensive, some I am not convinced by that are heavily linked, but numbers wise there are lots....there were last summer too, crazy we have onl ysinged VDB which was a poor signing anyway at the time I thought but amidfield signing none the lessI can clearly see that happening mainly because club's sheer inability to find proper midfielders in place of Pogba.
OK 15% of people on here nee a word with themselves thenWe had a poll, 85% didn't want him signing a new deal.
And theres absolutely nothing to say he'll be any different under Ten Hag; we should get rid of him!And people wonder why we're in the state we're in now. Extending the contract of a player who's done jack shit for 5 seasons would be a step in the wrong direction.
Sometimes it's best to just part ways no matter how good the player was for another team or in a different system or whatever. He's not done anything here to warrant a new contract on high wages.
Its a mess from top to bottom.Interim option can do a lot, we've seen that before, but to look at it from perspective, we hired quite a good manager in Rangnick, if he'll be ignored in the end, it's such a travesty.
Instead of Ten Hag wasting time on another squad assessment which may take year or two, he could already have key answers on the plate for Hag, who should be ready to go and making space for new players this summer.
Honestly Pogba has been so sh!te that an average midfielder could do what he's done for us for half the money.I can clearly see that happening mainly because club's sheer inability to find proper midfielders in place of Pogba.
That's the funny thing. He's been so poor for us he can't threaten to go to Real or PSG. No one would buy it. That's why we should offer him less pay and see if he takes it imo.Hes looks so disinterested and abysmal the last couple of games. Also looks pissed. I dont think we've offered a new contract and looks like he hasnt gotten great offers like he expected .
Do you mean the Board needs to spend some serious money on the big fat guy? Possibly in the form of weekly payment, any annoying comment from you, no bonus this week, that should last for 5 years...Then the board need to spend some serious money to make pogba effective in this team over the summer!
International football is another beast, pogba at least herein united has become an increasingly luxury player and his dalliance on the ball looking for the right pass usually leads to a loss of possession and a counter attack aside from his rather mediocre defensive awareness lead to him being a huge liability.I'm not sure I'm buying ETH is counting on Pogba, I mean if he gets a contract renewal then it means the rumors are true, but the cost for the current return, it would mean ETH is massively confident of being able to quickly change the team to get the best from him, and it would take a lot of changes in many areas, up front, central, Pogba is definitely a lot better than people give him credit for here, he's usually always one of the best players for France for example, but United is not set up anywhere close to what he sees with the national team, and I don't see how ETH changes that in a transfer window or two, but let's see.

The point isn't to compare the two, the point is to illustrate that when surrounded by certain players, Pogba consistently shines within the proper set up, and if there's any truth to those ETH rumors, which I don't believe are true, then it's about replicating similar conditions. I don't know anymore if Pogba can actually sustain a good level throughout a season if he's in the right set up, but he's capable of far more than he's shown currently at United.We need to stop drawing comparisons between international and club football
There's no such thing as consistent in International football though. Its a set up where players can reset and go on patches of good form. The max stretch is what, 8 ish games if they go all the way? That suits Pogba to the top, who is a very patchy player.The point isn't to compare the two, the point is to illustrate that when surrounded by certain players, Pogba consistently shines within the proper set up, and if there's any truth to those ETH rumors, which I don't believe are true, then it's about replicating similar conditions.

At the end of the day, it would take such a massive shift to come anywhere close without any guarantees it would even work out, better to let him go because renewing him would cost a lot of money that you couldn't possibly justify to anybody in that locker room.
Hahahhahaa I like it how you winding up people on here ...keep goingI think Pogba is central to ETH's plans, which means that it is well worth offering him a new contract!
My logic which is usually right, says no way he gets a contract at United.Is there not a little bit of you that thinks United will still go and give him a bumper new deal despite what anyone on the football side of things says.
If there isn't then I question your connection to reality.
