He is a beast. Would be extremely difficult to replace if he leaves. Hope he signs a contract and stays with us.
 
I don't thing he means anything as Mourinho praised him a lot in the presser, he just worded it badly. It happens. English isn't his first language anyway.
 
Hmm certainly doesnt sound great, seemed a little off angry moody in both his goal celebration and mutv post match. Hope he can kick on and play like this consistently. Important player for us.
 
Haha I knew as soon as I scrolled past that on Twitter it would get people on here worried

Nothing is certain but if he wanted to force his way out, he could have easily done that by switching off. He and Jose probably have a ways to go but undeniable that today was a step in the right direction.

If he asked to leave he wouldn't have played today let alone given the arm band anyway.
 
It had the hashtag #pogfeelings

Obviously alot of stuff has been written about him lately he might not like and we don't know what's going on in his personal life.

RNC state he wants to remain at United and he even mentioned his desire to win the Premier League post match so I'd try not to worry.
 
He was good. Just a complete performance. I believe this team can do something special with him playing like this every game. Of course, that needs the striker to actually contribute and the RW to no be a snail, but that's for another day.
 
I thought he was very good tonight. Exactly what I hoped would happen after the WC. Disciplined and hard-working, rather than indulgent and wasteful.
Yeh. That was a captain performance. And no need pre-season BS to be ready.
 
Doesn’t he just mean he’ll do his best even when he’s thrown into the first game with zero pre-season and ends up dead on his feet?

How often do players reference the manager when making these generic comments? Did Pogba even post that or was it his social media manager?
 
Sanchez right Martial left LUKAKU through the middle same midfield three and we could see Pogba become the superstar he is supposed to be .
 
First half was Pogba from last season. Second half was Pogba from the World Cup. He grew so well into the game.

If he just plays with the focus, intensity and intelligence we know he’s capable of but only shown for us in spells... he’ll be like amazing.
 
Should be our captain. Always focuses with it on. Hopefully with Valencia out it should be his for a while even when Young is back.
 
We need #pogtissue sponsor to wipe #pogface by #pogmama and big hugs by #pogbros to calm him down.

What a game by #captainpog. Need more of that for a succesfull #pogseason this year.
 
First game of the season and he's already been better than 80% players in the squad. We're so fecked without Pogba.
Ed must do everything to keep him at United
 
Worried about the tweet. But I think he'll stay. For now. And if he performs like tonight most of the games I'm okay with Angry/Sad Pogba.
 
When he gets on it, there is no stopping him. Resembles so much of Yaya Toure when running with the ball.
 
Pogba post-match quotes

on starting with a win

"We should start the Premier League with a win and we did it today. We knew it was going to be difficult because I personally didn't have any pre-season matches. I came back on Monday so it was difficult on my legs, the stamina but we played very well. The performance of the team was okay but we just want to go up and that's it."

on designated penalty taker

"We don't have a taker. The manager has names but it depends on how we feel. I decided to take it but maybe the next game I can leave it to Alexis - it is not a problem. The win is the most important thing."

on the run-up to the penalty

"It is my style of taking penalties. I've always done it. I know it is long. I know it can disturb the goalkeeper but that is how I take it. The most important thing is the ball goes in because if you miss it then I know what I'll hear."

on playing with Fred

"We started okay. I wouldn't say it was the best game but obviously it is normal. We've just started to play together. We started to train together. He's a very good player, I know he will really help us and with Andreas too - very young and showed his ability today. To be honest I feel very comfortable with him and with the rest of the centre mids I think we will be very happy with Fred this season."

on what he's hoping to achieve with United this season

"I'm someone who likes challenges. I want to improve. I want to progress. You have to keep working to get better and better because I'm still quite young - 25 - and I want to improve, I want to learn again and I want to win more trophies. The World Cup is a great cup, it'll stay in my mind but I want to win other trophies - Premier League, Champions League, European Championships we can win hopefully."

More here.
 
He means he will give his all no matter the situation. Not that something is currently going on.
 
He didn't word it well.

If he truly wanted to leave, it would have been known.

Plus the hashtag as well.
 
Fantastic performance considering that's the first game of football he's played since the WC. Dominated the game and was brilliant. I wouldn't read too much into the tweet, even he was desperate to leave (which I don't think he is) he knows that he can't go because we can't replace him. Simple as that.
 
I guess he played alright but my word,how about that hair...

My best Souness impression
 
He's insanely good and we are lucky to have him. Honestly hes so much better than our next best player.

He does have faults but the 'does not take game by scruff of the neck' crowd need to settle down. Pogba a the only player in the world expected to dominate offensively, defensively and physically. He has a huge burden no player in the world holds.

He needs more quality around him. He just won a world cup for gods sakes.

He is United's best player since prime Rooney and Ronaldo. Enjoy.
