I'd rather we part with the wr fee than expose Pogba to Moyes the Idiot and Van Gaal the deranged. We would have surely lost him for good if he had stayed and got lost under those two like we almost lost De Gea - the one WC player we had during our time in the wilderness.Any which way you see having to buy a player back for a world record fee in 4 year time always shows a mistake happened. Playing a player of his quality will never diminish our chance of title so our success that year has nothing to do with it.
That said I think it turns out to be the best for all parties though. He got to be the world record. We still got him while he's reaching his peak and having playing abroad and rejected by Real Madrid money men, there's a bigger chance now he will stay with us for many more years than if he had to play through Moyes and that crazy guy after him.

He's been very good recently. He's never had a dominating performance against a big club/in a massive game in his career.
The stage is set.
That you've watched. He was great against Bayern in the semi's and was quite good in the final against Madrid.He's been very good recently. He's never had a dominating performance against a big club/in a massive game in his career.

A 14-minute interview with the POGman.
Shows he's a humble lad who just wants to win, good interview. He's the main player I fear on Sunday, he's also a bit better than I thought he was. If Hendo is fit it's going to be a midfield battle of the titans on Sunday
Mourinho is a negative manager though and restricts players' natural games on the field so Pogba's comments are strange
lol
Negative manager? Please tell me, in the last 5 weeks or so, have you seen any negativity?
No. You haven't.
EDIT: Just noticed the white text. Damn you.

Fecking love him. Most complete footballer in the world, star quality, understands the club, loves it, stylish and a leader. After Rooney, Zlatan and Carrick are done, he needs to be captain.
I'd like Herrera to be captain for a bit. He shows real pride and work rate for us.

Juan Mata's heartHerrera's a passionate and committed player, but what does he have that Pogba doesn't, especially when it comes to the captaincy?
Rather not. Don't think you should burden your star player with the captaincy.
It should go to a Herrera type presence on the pitch and character behind the scenes. Someone who will not get analysed to death and can spread their focus and energy across the team.
Look at the captains at Real, Barca and Bayern.
"Paul will always get into positions where he will have a free-kick or a shot from 20 to 25 metres. So I always feel, in every game he will have conditions to potentially score.""
There's a little bit of mind games going on here and it makes me certain we will be starting with Martial and Mkhitaryan. I think Mourinho wants to encourage Liverpool to press Paul on the edge of the area and cut his shooting angles... our quick wingers are the obvious ones to try to punish the space that creates in behind.
It also means no Rooney as Mourinho won't want him congesting that area and slowing it down when it needs a quick transition as soon as that happens.
Mourinho said: "I've worked with Paul, tactically as mentally.
"I did nothing special. It is part of him. His technical and psychological qualities are part of him.
"Tactically, I have tried to adjust him and give some guidance and try to make a dynamic player for the team where he can be dangerous and can arrive in certain positions where he has the potential to score.
"I remember when I arrived at Chelsea in 2004 and, in my first match, I played a 4-4-2 where Lampard was the inside player on the left side.
"It took me a couple of months to understand that this guy had so much potential to score goals that I had to change for him.
"It is the same with Pogba, but these are the little details when you work with players.
"With more time, you try to understand them and try to get the best out of them."
And Mourinho said: "Paul is very happy in the way the team plays and the team allows him to play.
"I think he can score goals. I don't want to set targets for him, but I just feel that in every match he can potentially score a goal.
"Paul will always get into positions where he will have a free-kick or a shot from 20 to 25 metres. So I always feel, in every game he will have conditions to potentially score.""
