Paul Pogba - fighting back

Mino off altogether. He's not done any of those things, in fact he's hinted that he'd like to leave himself numerous times. He should be scrubbed from the history of the club completely.

There's no way in hell he could ever play for the club again, he will be rightly rounded upon by our own support. I get the feeling the rest of the squad don't want him in the team either.

Correct. If he hadn’t been such a fanny and actually put full effort into playing for us, we’d be in fourth place at worst now with Champions League football on its way next season.

This is the frustrating thing. IF he wants out so badly and wants to go to Madrid or wherever, surely the only option for him this season was to play out of his skin and earn the move

Entitlement mentality.

Riola has already agreed a deal with Juve imo. This latest dance is to make Pogba's position at United untenable and force our hand into 'letting' him go.

In his head he’s probably thinking he will declare himself fit in April, get straight into the team, have a couple of decent games which will be exaggerated by his media team to build up a buzz around him to help him Transfer to Madrid.

In my opinion if we are making progress and fourth ( I know ) is looking possible, he should be nowhere near the squad - we aren’t his shop window

Interesting balance of power that I fully support...

Would love his euros / transfer / champions league to be put on the last few games and Ole just comes out in public...

"Nah, £#%&! him"

What An absolute monumental error it was not selling him last summer

Don't think we had the option to sell him tbh.

He wanted to go that much is obvious, instead we dug or heels in and insisted that he stay. Now we’ve ended up with a dis interested player for a season, injured for months on end that’s of course when he’s not off gallivanting around the Middle East or weddings

There clearly wasn't a viable option for him, or he'd have pushed far more than he did. Reckon he went into the window expecting Real to come knocking, hence his comments early doors, then they blew their monies on Mendy, Jovic, Hazard and whoever else and showed no signs of being genuinely interested, Juve batted their eyelashes, but seemed to be trying to raise funds rather than spend with Dybala and Higuain.. honestly don't think anyone else showed the slightest interest. That's why I was convinced he'd get his head down and play this season, what has actually transpired is either incredibly unlucky or a damning indictment of the man.

Don't think it was us insisting he stay
Nobody really came in for him

Madrid's main target was Hazard and Juve's was De Ligt

This summer will be different if he has a good Euro's

Would only take one goal in 6 games, a new haircut and a Predator advert to convince/hoodwink everyone that he'd had a stormer. Same as the last world cup. He was OK but a goal in the final for the winning team and history is already (mis)remembering him as the world champions dominant midfielder.

I don't think it will tbh. Not many top sides lacking a luxury player atm.

It'll be tough for him to have a good Euro's having not played all season..

The summer before more like.

Raiola to throw a massive wobbly after hearing Scholes (rightly) say Paul wouldn’t get into the starting lineup these days

You’d bring him on for Bruno instead of Jesse tbf.

Make a very capable understudy.

In your own time, Paul. No rush!
