I hope he's reading this...although hes much more likely to be dabbing on instagram, wondering what cryptic statement to throw out next whilst loads of fans defend the idiot
Pogba's says his future is at United and has many years on contract

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Not saying Pogba should be sold for peanuts or below a ridiculously inflated sum. He’s got a contract at United shouldn’t sell such a commercially valuable player too quickly.
But looking at it from the buyers’ perspective: Why would Barca or Real actually splash 200 Million pounds on Pogba? Maybe PSG because he’s French. But imagine the players that could be bought for a combined sum of 200 million pounds. I think he’ll stay at least 2 more years unless someone pays insane money for him.

Imo it wasn't him getting dropped for Fellaini and MCT last season, but rather Mourinho's comments after the WC that are what's causing Pogba to be saying these things to the media.
Whenever there's a rift between the manager and player(s) it's the club that pays the price.

I think he’s been busy tonight.
You should definitely go and do that.
Grand. Get 150m for him, sign De Jong from Ajax and maybe Kante. Sorted. Getting tired of his shite now.
More like Krusty the Clown.
Let's hope he's as "busy" on September 15.
I reckon you were also sick of it back when Mourinho was openly flirting with PSG last season?
He was good at the WC, you're only hearing what the media wants you to hear. Pogba does not come across like that at all. One player who did come across like that at the WC was Greizmann, the darling of the Caf, Pogba was all about the team, Griezmann was talking about himself.
The amount of abuse Shaw has got since his injury was disgraceful as well. Hopefully he's back to his old self. Obviously Shaw is a very good player, obviously Pogba is a very good player, obviously Martial is a very good player. Hopefully all 3 will be brilliant for us in the near future. They're all young and will be more consistent over time.
PSG won't be able to buy him because of FFP unless they give us Mbappe in exchange which will never happen unfortunately.
Pogba+Martial for Mbappe+Verratti would be
The funny thing is people think he's been shite but want 150-200m for him. Probably just frustrated. Who pays that for an apparently shite player?
That's caf logic buddy. They want the price to be for the player he could become under the right manager.
I question whether a supposed imperfect relationship has been bigged up by a Raiola influenced Pogba knowing he can either get more money or go somewhere with more chance of winning things. Possibly both. Whether it's this or not, I don't like it one bit.
We should back the players and manager. Infact our manager has come out and said things much worse than Pogba in the aftermath of the Sevilla defeat blaming the heritage of the club instead of taking responsibility. We still back the manager and the players should be the same.
The same sort of people who think Mourinho is making all the players in our club underperform.
Well everyone knows what he's capable of. It's just that he doesn't do it anywhere near enough. I don't rate how he's played for us overall. Really a handful of games where he's looked like what we've wanted, and as many shocking performances. I expect something like just over 100m for him though in this market.
In a team that relies on him less and a system that works better he'll likely look more consistent, or it'll at least be less obvious if he isn't.
I believe Jose is at fault for not getting the most out of our players. But it's also been clear that Pogba hasn't been giving his all at times.
All he has to say is "I'm a United player- next question"
Even better he says "I want to win trophies with United"
Best would be he actually commits himself and plays consistently at the highest level possible rather than switching it on when he feels like it.

Probably so.
How the fans are fickle. All it takes for them to go into full rage mode against a player is few I wager purposely misquoted sentences.
UTD fans are always complaining how the media has got an agenda against the club and the manager yet they proceed to trust bunch of shitt from the exact same media they complain about.
He isn't shite, of course not. He's one of the most talented players of his generation. He's inconsistent and a bit of a pussy. Much has been made of the social media following Juve gained after signing Ronnie, Pogba is also one of those highly marketable players, which obviously increases his value in the crazy landscape of the current market. But we bought him for 90m pre Neymar market inflation. Since then he's won a World Cup and become even more marketable. When you have to spend 70m on a decent defender Pogba is not going to be sold for 100m. I said this before in the thread, but if he goes, the likely scenario isn't that we get 150-200m, but that we get quality in exchange.
So basically he’s saying that he doesn’t know if he will still be here after his contract expires?
I agree. Mourinho have made similar comments before. Remember when he pumped up the rumours of him leaving and called PSG's project 'special' after saying he won't be spending the rest of his career here. He could have just said 'I'm staying'.
Yep, don't see what @.Rossi is being so hysterical for.
Doesn't sound particularly happy to be at United, though.
He just needs to do his talking on the pitch and get us towards the top end of the table.
Happens to all managers, especially about money. Even to Sir Matt
Interested to know what you will talk about after you leave behind London. It's a long road to Spain.
Doesn't matter for some people though. He's not good enough, get rid. While ignoring the fact he's probably been - alongside Zlatan - the best signing we've made post Fergie based on performances.
Sounds like a typical interview with a high profile footballer. Not surprised this place has shat many mars bars over it though.
It’s nothing new, and will happen forever more as long as money is involved in the game.
Yes. In today's market, OK to good, occasionally very good, players are worth 150m. Neymar is good but still lacks something at times and has an attitude problem.
We live in a YouTube world where players can be hyped and are a brand in themselves, and Pogba is the epitome of that. He often does flashy, skilful things and it masks the patches of shite he produces in games. He has been hyped after the World Cup but Kante was still way better than him for France.
I would love if all this blew over and he starts consistently producing 7/10 performances, it's always good seeing an academy player do well for us but if this rubbish keeps going, I would expect that sum for him, because of his hype, potential and contract situation.
P.s. After reading into these quotes a bit more, it looks like the translation was twisted a bit.
Yeah, I think that's more down to his attitude, and rightly so. If he's not motivated to be at United why would you want him to stay? It's disruptive and his agent is a bag of trouble too. I was over the moon when we re-signed him but if he is adamant he wants out I'll be happy if we get shitloads of money to then reinvest in the team or exchange him for a player who will improve our first XI.
Here's the full quote, from Lequipe:
And in these quotes, he doesn't say in the near future, he actually says : "I have a contract, at this moment i play there, but who knows what will happen in the next months".
You do know only two players have cost more than that?
I wouldn’t be playing under Mourinho if I was him. He’s doing his job regardless.
Well he's already varied in quality wildly from god awful to the point of even mentioning it himself to quite good, so I wouldn't say he's quite done what he's supposed to.
fecking hell
They will talk about this on The Debate on Sky. For me I want him gone next summer, he isnt worth the hassle anymore .
