This is what happens when you apply Zen to football. You end up becoming a football *********** like Brendan Rodgers. To be fair though, He was on another level among us mere humans.

Charlton, Kleberson... Off the top
Why does he deserve more holidays away from his employer, when he won the World Cup with his country? Two completely different things.
Young and Lingard played the same amount of games as Pogba.
The season starts in 5 days. If I had the privilege of earning £1million+ per month I’d be doing anything to be ready as early as possible to help our club try to win the first few games of the season.
He certainly doesn’t deserve more holidays then the rest of our squad just because his team won the World Cup anyway.
Blanc, Barthez, Schweinsteiger, Charlton, Kleberson......There may be more
True. It does show how much care he has for Manchester United.
Who said he deserves more? He deserves his set 3 week standard holiday quota, which ends today. No more, no less.
Stop ranting for absolutely no reason.
Mata as well, was in the Spain squad in 2010.
I plugged this into google translate and it redirected me to Yoko Ono's homepage.
Ah, your post made it sound like Young and Lingard had returned today but not Pogba.
He's back tomorrow right? Isn't that when his holiday would be over? I'm fine with that.
And your original post said Pogba deserves his holiday because he won the World Cup. In my eyes it doesn’t make any difference that he won the World Cup when it comes to being ready for the start of the season.
I’m happy for him obviously. But I’d rather they all return ASAP to get ready for the season. It’s one year every four years where you might not get 30 days a year. Big whoop. They’re remunerated enough to make sacrifices in special circumstances like this in my opinion.
He will return when due.
All players deserve their 3 week holiday, I don’t care how much they get paid or how glamours their job is.
Pogba deserves 3 weeks the same as every other player in every other club, and Pogba’s 3 weeks ends today/tomorrow. He didn’t have to return early and many other players did not return early also.
For the first 4/5 days of his holiday he spent it travelling around with the France squad celebrating, my original point was that as soon as the other players were defeated they went straight to the beach or wherever. Beside all that, they all deserve their 3 weeks and are entitled to take every last second of it.
Concerned his return might be joined with a transfer request what with these rumours of Barcelona
I dont think you got the point mate. 3 goals french team scored in group stages were all with pogba major involvement. All the running balls and all. I think duels won key passes stats are presented in this thread already. Last season when united were outscoring city at start was because mikhitarayan was playing well until pogba was injured. Check those games. Crticisms are good but sounding like gareme souness for a players dislike is not good.
Yes, Pogba doesn't care about United and that's why he's not back 
Pogba played in the U-20 World Cup final in 2013, on the 13th of July. First match for Juve was Supercoppa final on the 18th of August. Missing the whole set of pre-season friendlies.
Pogba also reached the quarters in World Cup 2014, lost to Germany on the 4th of July. Was back for the friendly on the 6th of August. Serie A started on the 30th. Missed two friendlies.
Pogba also played full minutes in the EURO finals two years ago, that was on the 10th of July, spent most of the summer on vacation in the USA, signed with us the 8th of August. Our season started on the 14th of August, he made his debut after coming back on the 2nd gameweek, 5 days later. Missed the pre-season.
The latter should prove that he wouldn't even hurry if he wants a move away from his current club. Stop moaning.

He's the first United player to win the world cup while at the club since 1966.
Stop talking senseYes, Pogba doesn't care about United and that's why he's not back

If he'd have wanted a transfer he should've asked for it before the world cup when we'd have time to find a replacement. There's not been one single reliable source all summer linking Pogba to Barcelona, we are all aware they've already signed 3 midfielders in 2018 alone, right? It doesn't make any logical sense whatsoever and it's daft to believe any of it.
I have no idea how people can complain about a player not returning early from a 3 week holiday. It's only 3 weeks out of a year. He probably needs some time off.
He deserves his holiday but I must say, there’s still some lingering nerves for me until I see him back.
Please ask yourself why Lukaku isn’t having the same issues with Mourinho. Because he follows instructions. That’s all Pogba needs to do but instead his agent has gone shopping him around hasn’t he.He bought an AM for a world record to play him in a midfield 2, benched him for a no-name and he even tried to belittle Pogba when he won the World Cup .
If it isn't a stupid man management...
The goal is the top 4. Just look at the team. You are deluded if you think that you can win the league or the CL with that average squad.
And obviously Sanchez/Lukaku aren't WC.
Only rated here
Ask yourself why the relation between Pogba and Conte/Allegri/Deschamps is great but not with Mourinho.
And you'll know why Pogba want to leave.
Manchester United isn't the only club in the world and Mourinho isn't the only coach in the world.
If Pogba isn't happy, he'll look for a new club and Pogba is a superstar, it's not lowers clubs that will look for him but Barcelona or Juventus.
Maybe just maybe, Mourinho should show more humility...or the world will laugh at him as it was for Fergie when Pogba left in 2012.

Don't think he will leave this summer, but I don't see him signing another contract extension with us. Think his aim will be to run his contract down and move to wherever he wants.
I don't see him staying after this season. The club has to match the ambitions of the player. Pogba is capable of winning Champions leagues in the right team and we are currently a tier 2 European side. The rumours are worrying but they will only get stronger the longer we continue like this.
I just hope pogba and martial stay this season. Mourinho will be gone and the next manager might change their minds.
Nobby Stiles and John Connelly were in the ’66 squad with Bobby Charlton.
Sooner he’s back in Manchester the sooner I’ll rest easy.
You couldn't blame him if he left for Barcelona, he deserves better we make him look shit.
When is he due back for training?
Why do the Spanish media always go rabid when it's a United player one of their darling big 2 is interested in?
Seriously any other club gets a free ride. Imagine if we had Kane and Hazard. It'd be every day shit

Sorry, please explain how, for example, his abysmal performance against Spurs at Wembley was somebody else’s fault?
Lukaku is already back and his World Cup finished just the day before Pogba.
His manager is a negative dinosaur.
No chance we’ll let him go so late in the window.
I’m quite concerned he’ll be off next season, though. All the more if Mourinho is still in charge.
Embarrassing post.
Lukaku had issues with Mourinho before.
That's the worrying thing. If you're a top player why would you want to play for this Mourinho team?
We're dull as feck, just defend all game long. I bet he regrets coming back now honestly.
You're embarrassing.
