So you think Pogba and Mkhitaryan should return to us next season because they played well for us 5 years ago?Because Mkhitaryan was also one of our best players in this tournament

I think people have to be honest about superstars in big games. If the team is not playing well and can't support them, any no. 10 is going to struggle. United already have massive issues in building up against easier opposition, imagine how difficult and isolating it would be to be a creative attacking player in those games. It's far easier for the goal scorers, as one moment of weakness for the opposition can lead to an opportunity, but for a creative player who has to receive the ball in a midfield that is shut out by the opposition, it's almost impossible.Ranking Pogba's talent is pretty tough considering he's been consistently awful in almost every big game against decent sides in the last 4 seasons or so, quite similarly to Bruno.
Sure he can ping passes about against Fulham or Newcastle but against your Liverpools or even Arsenals and Leicesters he's just constantly bullied with the ball and makes only negative impact without it. If the opposition dont give him time for extra touches and are physical against him he's absolutely hopeless.
No doubt someone will say something about his 2 goals against City, but he was shit in that game as well, aside the runs for the goals.
2+2 =7?Probably why we told Judge to feck off??
He has been used in multiple positions at United and been accommodated a lot. He has also never shown he is world class over a season anywhereYes off course he does same as any footballer he has to take some blame if he performs badly but in his case he has shown he is world class when used properly.
That's not his fault at United
Pogba played under Mourinho and Jose hated him. Now Jose may be past his prime but he is still a top manager and if you cannot show your quality under him, chances are you are not world class.People really don’t know ball anymore if you think Pogba is our worst midfielder.
Idiots lying to themselves because he and the club have been badly managed since his arrival.
Pogba still our only WC winner and might have another by the end of the year.
Me tooI really hope we give him a huge raise and sign him for another five years just to see the meltdown on here.
He also won't be offered the same money he is getting here from anyone else, so it's not really by choice.He will leave for lower pay.
Unlike some, I do not believe he's motivated by money.
I dont believe he's motivated at allHe will leave for lower pay.

If you have a couple of star players in a dysfunctional team the obvious tactic is just to eliminate their influence from the game. Any team that plays United knows that if you stifle Bruno and Ronaldo 80% of your job is done. This has been our problem on and off for years. Our players rarely know where their teammates will be or where their next pass will be so they have to stop, take a look and take stock of where everyone is and then make a decision. City, Liverpool etc don't have to do that. They know where their teammates will be. They know where there will be an outlet and because 90% of the time they don't even have to think, when they do have to make a decision, chances are good that they have a bit of time and space to make that decision because the opposition hasn't had time to rearrange and close down their options.I think people have to be honest about superstars in big games.

Yet you are here instead of working for a top club. I wonder why that is?If you knew what people in here have in coaching way (level of licence) and sport CV you would not talk like that. So my advice is that you stop saying we are idiots. We don't need to lie. Everyone can see what he does and doesn't on the pitch.
David May is both Champions League and Premier League winner but you wouldn't say that he is better then some centerbacks we had last couple of years.
Sums it up very well, injury prone 29 year old, 400,000 a week, no thanksPogba is a brilliant passer, undeniable

to me, Pogba will be great in the right team, in the right league. That’s not us and it’s not the PL. he slows the game down too much, gets caught in possession often which usually results in him lunging to try and win it back. Further the team looks unbalanced when he and Bruno play together.
he’s had a contract offer on the table for a year and hasn’t signed. That’s clear that staying isn't his first choice. We should withdraw the offer now and build without him. Good luck to him wherever he goes but it just didn’t work at United.
...except isn't the offer of the same money, which would be £290,000?Sums it up very well, injury prone 29 year old, 400,000 a week, no thanks
That's true... but I mean, we are a club that still got Jones and Mata on the books. Keeping Pogba wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.The biggest issue with Pogba is that he spends at least half the season injured these days. I have no doubt ETH could probably make use of him in some way or form but he’s become way too injury prone. No point having a player around who is missing half the time.
Fair enough, but if he goes, they must get someone better in the market.No we don't, delusion helps no one.
If Pogba stays and ETH has to shoehorn him into his plans then his United tenure is over before it began.
Need a few more rounds of feck off Pogba tomorrow to remind the board he's not going to get support if he stays.
Pretty much spot on.Pogba is a brilliant passer, undeniable

Firstly, doing this to one of our own players would be shameful. Also, not quite sure how chanting feck off would be a quiet hint.Loud "Feck off, Pogba" chants tonight to quietly hint that he's not wanted here.
Horrible fanLoud "Feck off, Pogba" chants tonight to quietly hint that he's not wanted here.
It's been done already against Norwich. No harm doing it again.Firstly, doing this to one of our own players would be shameful. Also, not quite sure how chanting feck off would be a quiet hint.
Fanboying for a player who effectively deserted the team during some of most humiliating defeats ever endured by the club. Sent off at Old Trafford against Liverpool after 10 minutes, skulked off after 5 at Anfield.Horrible fan
Horrible playerHorrible fan
There's a big difference between wanting a player to leave and the crowd chanting "feck off Pogba" at him.It's been done already against Norwich. No harm doing it again.
This holier than thou horseshit does make me laugh. He's shit, on an obscene amount of money and has no love for United but people still go all Helen Lovejoy when people want that kind of rubbish gone from the club.
Calling somoene a fanboy because he doesnt agree with chanting ''feck off Pogba''Fanboying for a player who effectively deserted the team during some of most humiliating defeats ever endured by the club. Sent off at Old Trafford against Liverpool after 10 minutes, skulked off after 5 at Anfield.
You're the horrible fan. The bewitching hold Pogba has over some people wrecks my fecking head.
He was the 3rd best midfielder at Juve as well in a poor league back then when Juve dominated. To be fair he had Vidal and Pirlo to contend with but even still.He has been used in multiple positions at United and been accommodated a lot. He has also never shown he is world class over a season anywhere
What's that going to achieve besides spreading negative vibes through an already morale depleted team?Loud "Feck off, Pogba" chants tonight to quietly hint that he's not wanted here.
I'm sure he's already aware that he's not wanted, so I don't think this is necessary.Loud "Feck off, Pogba" chants tonight to quietly hint that he's not wanted here.
I'm a Pogba fanboy because I don't agree with shouting abuse at a human being who's not committed an illegal or immoral act? Damn.Fanboying for a player who effectively deserted the team during some of most humiliating defeats ever endured by the club.

I wondered this. Will there still be the outrageous fees involved for all the players affected? Haaland, Pogba ….Wonder how his agents death will effect things? Obviously the agents company was counting on a large signing on % fee.
