According to WhoScored, it was 73%. 45 out of 62 passes.
We dominated and ran the game for 70 mins. How was our midfield poor.
Seems to take four touches to decide what he wants to do. It'd work so much better if he just played the obvious pass at times. So often had Mhki or Martial running outside of him, yet seemed hell bent on passing to Zlatan. 
Does it? Juventus won their league multiple times on the trot and reached a Champions League final. He played more or less every game.
Usually, I would argue that any team playing Victor Moses at right wing back couldn't top the Premier League, but looking at the evidence that would be bollocks. Rather like some of opinions in here.
His performance was terrible, for what it's worth. But he's far from the problem.
Thought it was his worst game for us. He tries to make things to complex for himself, eg going into a crowd of three to try and run past them all instead of a pass into the man in space. When he moves the ball first time and keep its simple, he makes it look so easy.
It seems like he gets bored at times and has to try and make it as difficult as possible.

But wasn't the main man there, IMO. Pirlo at 35 was still better than him.
Jesus. Why do people keep saying this? He wasn't playing as a 10. Himself and Hererra were playing ahead of Carrick. Which gave him license to get forward whenever he wanted. He blatantly wasn't a 10 though. He's been playing in the same position in almost every game this season but every time he plays badly we get all this crap about him playing in a position he wasn't actually playing.
That's piss poor.
Well he was right up there. Let's not get smart, Pogba was a crucial part of that successful Juventus side and they were good enough to give it to Real Madrid in a Champions League final.
Poor display today but he's been good for us, overall. If we could just finish our chances he sets up.
Wow that is shit.
He can be hit and miss but like the stat sky showed, he has created more than anyone else which normally justifies his erratic style but today it just wasn't working.
Have to say Jose should of brought him off, the more he tried the worse he got
He was excellent but so were many of his team-mates: from the keeper and the defenders to Tevez.
So you're telling us a very good, very succesful team had many players playing well?
What I'm saying is obvious from the context. Maybe you should take it into account?
Well, I'd like to see that replicated here at United.
He was shit. Should have been taken off for Mata after 60 minutes.
Losing faith in this guy. Less because of his performances and more because of the type of player he appears to be. Seems to always look like he's being played in the wrong position, no matter which position he's in.
I've no idea what you're saying tbh. The discussion was about whether or not Pogba can be a key player at a top team. He evidently can, whether or not his team-mates also play well. That's the thing about top teams, they have lots of good players.
Bad day at the office. he looked all over the place.
We looked better without him in the last game.
I think it's a bit odd having a player who's kind of a midfielder, and kind of a flair player, but not really totally solid at being either.
He's very good, individually, but slotting him into the team is, I think, starting to get quite annoying.
I'd love to replay that Everton game with this team...

Very disappointing performance, one of his worst this season. All players play crap games though, it happens. All in all, I think he's been improving throughout the season.
The feeling when I watch him reminds me a bit of Nani, often trying extremely ambitious plays. Days like this when it doesn't work its incredibly frustrating to watch, screaming "simple!" to the television.

He just sort of waltzes about doing nothing doesn't he? Except the occasional skied shot every now and again. He really needs to step it up a few gears.
He's been our best player this season. Opinions change on here so wildly and at the drop of a hat.
What was the point in signing him then play him out of position?
Was shite today....offered nothing to the team...he needs get this sorted out.
Because they gave it away a slight bit more than we did, is the answer. Carrick, Herrera and Pogba squandered possession so many times today.
He wasn't the main man at Juve. The post that we are discussing says that no top club should have him as their main man. I'm not sure about the latter as he is still young and could develop further as a player. My worry is about his decision making. It's not top class.
We seem to play better when he plays deeper in a two in midfield. With the players we have i don't think it suits him or the team for him to play further forward in a midfield 3.
It's not at all really.
You can be a very good player and just perform badly. In the same way you can be technically unbelievable but not have the mentality or intelligence to be effective.
For me there's no doubting his attributes, both physical and technical. As well as his star quality.
The issue is he doesn't fit in the team and seems to want to constantly do it himself at a snails pace, grappling with every opposition player and shooting from 40 yards with his weak foot whilst off balance.
I firmly disagree. He's been fine overall, while at the same time looking like a square peg in a round hole. Not our best player.
Defensive he was good, but nothing going forward.
He was poor today but most of the posts in the last few hours have been worse. Jesus.
His worst performance so far
Gueye did a magnificent job with containing him, and it was Pogba's poorest game in a while, especially in terms of attacking contributions. Incidentally, our worst game from an attacking perspective in a good while, as well.
He wasn't Juventus' main man. He's wasn't even their main midfielder. He shared the load with a good few equally talented (or 'more talented' players) - which is the point.
At United, he's expected to actually be the main man (with Zlatan) and he doesn't have it in him.
There's nothing wrong with that. Lots of very good players aren't able to be main men. Di Maria, for example. Ozil as well.
But until Pogba isn't the main man/star player, United wont be a top team.
It's a strange one because he's good at holding on to the ball. Sometimes it's great because it gives time for someone to make a run or get into a better position, but other times he seems to do it unnecessarily and it ruins our attack. It was all the latter today.
Where did I suggest he was their main man? I said he was one of the key players in their side, which is true.
So we broke the transfer record for someone who can never be our main man? Somehow I doubt that was our thinking at the time.
Elephant-itus performance today.
For me, the jury is still out.

Unfortunately, yes.
It happened with Di Maria too (but obviously just a club transfer record.)
