This. And I'm a huge Pogba fan
You're deluded if you think Pogba is in the same class of peak Xavi, Iniesta, Zidane, Scholes, Pirlo, Gerrard, Fabregas and so on, he has the potential to be in that class someday tho. People look far too hast to put Pogba in that bracket, he isnt there yet.
We are signing him. 
I doubt he'd choose Arsenal over us.
Arsenal can bugger off if they know what's good for them.
Why's that?
You never know tbh. There's the lure of London, as well as his national team buddies Ozil and Mertesacker
kagawa will probably tell him to go to them.
They seem to have less of a need though.
But then again you don't watch him every week so you're arguing in the blind. He'd have won a ballon d'or if he was miles better than anything pogba has shown. Come on now, who's a better midfielder than him in Italy?
London is overrated. The north is where it's at.
Because we are a bigger club. The lure of playing for United will be greater imo.
Don't think this will be all that important. Granted there are some football friendships born out by nationality (Herrera, Mata, De Gea) but as to whether those 3 are friends is anyones guess really.
but, but, but....Hummels to United yeah? Plus he is so obviously a United fan. It is on!
van Gaal/a team on the up, higher wages and a club with more purchasing power which is likely to indicate a higher chance of winning trophies the next few years. I can only see him choosing arsenal if he's got a serious hard on for Wenger and or London.
Oh, and we're the bigger club.
Arse could quite easily sign Gundogan. They have signed quite well the past few years, and if anything they are also a team on the up who are now willing to fork out.
Whilst I completely agree with the sentiment, I get the feeling London's a very different place if you're earning 100,000 a week or so. For someone like Gundogan who's had a bad injury you'd think that he'd go for footballing reasons/career progression rather than any other factor though.
Gundogan and Ozil seem pretty close.

They definitely could, but in my opinion the chance of doing so is slim if United are serious about him.
It's not the way it was in SAF's final few seasons when Arsenal were quite a level below us in terms of pulling power. Arsenal have some momentum behind them and are willing to spend.
Choosing Arsenal or United is far closer than some people think.

Arsenal are a small club with small ambitions.
I can't see Arsenal signing him unless they let someone go, such as Wilshere who has been linked with City in recent weeks.
dunno if I want him, I would love someone more powerful. it's not like he's world class playmaker either, I mean if he goes for cheap, get him fast and bring on another, or wait here give chance to andreas
Ah yes the age old argument that if someone has a different opinion than you they clearly don't watch the team, a silly way to argue but I'd like to inform you I watch Juventus as often as I can (which is very often) as I have kept an interest in Pogba myself since he left us. Pirlo was still a level above Pogba before his injury. Whilst being slightly off the pace lately Pjanic has outperformed Pogba for a solid year and a half. Pre-injury Vidal was significantly better than Pogba, whether he can get back to that level remains to be seen but he too outperformed Pogba as well for a solid season.
Not for many foreign players it is not
Tell that to Cazorla, Sanchez and Ozil. 3 of the top ten players in the league. They will spend again this summer, and certainly get a decent striker in finally, although Giroud isn't that bad.
That is painful
A good number of foreign players have left Arsenal for Manchester over the past 5 years.....
The lure for playing for United over Arsenal is.
Of course it is.
Aaron Ramsey?
Robin van Persie?
That was more a case of a young player choosing the best club to develop at. In that sense Arsenal run us pretty close reputation wise.
This, and he is not even the best midfielder of Juventus, let alone in Italy.
Arsenal are the joke of the Premier League. They haven't even won a league in over a decade and have haven't seen the CL quarter finals for over 5 years lol. Even Moyes got further than them ffs.
Just under 3 years ago we took their player and captain. Assuming we are back in the CL then we should not be losing out to Arsenal for players.

That's not comparable. Ramsey chose Arsenal over us because Wenger said he would keep him at Arsenal to train with the first team, while we said we'd loan him back. Ramsey felt like he was wanted at Arsenal, where as he didn't with our offer.
it's like some of you people try to live up to the stereotype- Status
