Pogba: "Playing for Zidane at Madrid would be a dream"

Your bar for ludicrously improbable is extremely low, and misguided.

Did Zidane ring everyone else and get them to down tools as well?

Is that why Matic took a decade to close down Sigurdsson at Everton and Shaw was ambling back against Huddersfield?

Not seeing any conspiracy in Matic taking a decade to close somebody down

That’s not how group dynamics work. There’s usually more than one reason at play amongst the squad. Does this really need explaining?

Pogba working his ticket for Madrid, de gea unsettled over contract negotiations, split in dressing room due to foreign contingent thinking the English are getting special treatment with contract renewals. The Sanchez issue with the wage structure. Fitness issues.

99% of football management revolves around people, not tactics or any of the other computer game shite.

aw... thanks, creamers.

I truly don’t understand how you can be both a United supporter and defend Pogba. I hate that the likes of him have become the face of this club.

It's all well and good blaming the team around him etc but he's not exactly surrounded by league 2 players, we have some good players. He should he leading them on the pitch.

Muffers!

Welcome back pal.

I’d kind of get used to it. Or bail out. This is the direction of travel. I think that bit about being a united fan will be the thing that gives first.

Got to a stage where I’ve gone from idolising united players to despising them

There’s no way back - it’s for a different generation who admire different things which is fair enough.

I think there's some confusion here. Saying Pogba is still the best player in a bang average United side is barely even praise of Pogba, let alone mounting a defence. It's just the reality. His performance level is woefully inconsistent, but truth is that most of the good stuff we do still goes through him and he's the guy in the team most likely to produce the best moments.

Pogba barely deserves defending, but going in the opposite direction with this 'he's only played five good games' %@#$&!s is pointless.

He's our best player. In other words, he's better than Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, Ashley Young. It's not a huge accolade.

What are his best moments (city comeback aside) since his return...

What great moments have come through him....

5 good games is probably about right.

Name me 10 ? He's £#%&!ing awful.

I understand people being willing to sell Pogba. Denying that he produces moments of quality like the above is silly.

Mate, you've just posted a through ball.......

A half decent through ball that would be nothing without Rashfords movement..

Thank god your memories a little poor.

There's not much in the pot.

It's a brilliant ball. Too much hate ruins the argument pal.

Whenever you watch old United goals, any £#%&!er could play a ball like that as standard.

Thin gruel these days.

Poggers had a good run last season though. Probably when we were doing well. He was getting plaudits.

It's not a standard ball. The weight on it is perfect. Pogba is an insanely frustrating player, but going down the road of denying the talent or ability to produce immense quality undermines the argument..

He’s one our best footballers - easily. But that’s only because we are so shit atm.

And it’s entirely on his terms - when he wants and how he wants. But can he encourage a team, motivate a club, extract better performances? Can he £#%&!.

He’s a luxury and we can ill afford them. Moreover he’s divisive , and he’s agent ensure he acts the @#%&!.

Could have been a legend but he will retire a multi millionaire without any hang ups because there’s too many people making excuses for him. Those that support him and his attitude are ruining the game - it’s that simple.

He'll probably join City a few years down the line

Have to admire your patience here.

The quality of that pass speaks for itself
