Well, he’s a bit of a tit. His old French club said so too, expect him to become a traveller imo.

in england he was king of reserves but was unable to make a point on the big stages. If he had signed a new deal then he’d definitely have been a starter this season at OT.

But it boils down to MUFC a annual trophy winning club not having the scope to bleed in Pogba’s to get used to the league properly then being able to become a regular star performer. Maybe Serie A is, but he’d need to go on loan first to get used to it thrn come back to OT & show it.

Anderson looks great this season, so far so good + injury free!

this is the reason why england will never ever win the world cup unless english fans change their attitude.U simply cant recognise talent when u meet one. Selling Pogba was a huge mistake unless fergie can get us wanyama. Therz no one in our midfield thats as good as him. cleverly is not a class player. its our attack thats seeing us through. Lets see waht happens against Real Madrid then u can make opinions of manutd. Utd for life

Really? I saw him interviewed once. He spoke pretty good English with a Manchester accent. That tells me he was settled and probably spent a lot of time with his mates in the youth team.

Ferguson doesn’t often get it wrong but it’s looking like he did here. The mistake was not to even give Pogba a place on the bench early last season when we had so many midfielders out injured. Pogba got the message – the boss thought he was well short of Premiership standard. He didn’t agree, he thought he was ready for top-flight football now so he did a deal with Juventus. From that moment on he was on his way out, it wasn’t about the money. The kid’s got balls to stand up to Ferguson like that, good luck to him.

No problems mate. There is plenty more fish out there. These things happen and anyway the boys agent needed a few extra bob and there was no chance the lad was staying no matter what.

Pogba clearly didnt have it in him to fit in with what is expected of a Man Utd player in terms of personality and in the dressing room or else Sir Alex would have gone that bit extra to keep him.
As always with with Man Utd, there will be another with his talent who will fit in and will make it.

No player is bigger than the club and Pogba demanded a lot of money for what he offered. With hindsight you can always say what was right and what was wrong but at the end of the day he was trying to hold the club to ransom. He want to be in the first team and unless you are Lionel Messi you aren’t gonna be first team at 19. The Italian league is miles behind the PL so the jury is still out on him. Its a shame he left as he could have gone out on loan and gained experience but its his lose.

Well Spoken. And Pique requested the move back to Barca, he was homesick, his girlfriend was not moving to Manchester and wasn’t going to stay regardless. Another munpty writer.

No player is bigger than the club except the manager.

you need to pretty thick in my opinion to believe that selling pogba was a mistake.
no player is bigger than the club, especially a youngster with little or no experience. the club is run properly under Sir Alex so fortunately we wont have tp put up with pogba ruining the conditions that the manager so carefully goes about creating for consistent long term success.
players who think they can hold the club to ransom are clearly not part of his plans, and thank god!
long live Sir Alex!
