Please for the sake of the team, drop him from the playing squad tonight. Let's have a team of players with even a half decent mentality and can actually turn up for the big games.
Obviously it affected him. He hasn't looked himself at all this season.
His legacy? His lack of professionalism and his antics both on and off the pitch will be held up as example as "everything that is wrong with modern footballers". We paying a world record fee for a overrated egomaniac who has been nothing but a headache and a destabilizing force. It will be held up as one of the driving factors of the clubs fall from grace post Fergie
.
Hopefully we getting rid of this virus and his uncouth swine of an agent can mark the beginning of us healing and going back to the top.
The only bad thing about this is how smug Sourness is going to be

If others want to moan about Pogba and call him names fair enough, I didn't mention previous posts which had similar sentiments.
I had those 2 specifically because they're the first to cry toxicity if their favourite character at the club is getting critiqued with strong language. If they want to freely insult someone who winds them up, then they have to accept when others do the same.
Either improve your own behaviour, or live and let live.

I don't think it's a lack of professionalism or attitude. I just think that the role he plays currently doesn't suit him.
His ego is bruised since Bruno signed. He used to hide behind the 'can't do it in a average team' excuse. Bruno has shown you can.
Honestly don't think he should play another second for us now. Let him go on January even if it's a loan to buy. Need him gone now.
I don't think it's a lack of professionalism or attitude. I just think that the role he plays currently doesn't suit him. He has no defensive awareness whatsoever and clearly likes to play higher up the pitch. But you are not displacing the machine that is Bruno. I also don't agree when people say he should have no defensive responsibilities for him to flourish. I think Jurgen Klopp said it best, that unless you are Messi or Ronaldo, you have to do your fair share of defensive work. Maybe COVID has also played a part this year because while he has never lit up the world during his time here, he has not been this bad either.
I think that if he ever comes back to OT with a different team, he is going to receive a worse reception than Di Maria for sure.
A major part of the blame also has to go to Woodward and Jose by the way. They sanctioned this deal with no clue about how to use him. The club and Paul have both wasted each other's time.
Who will he target at Utd ?His legacy? His lack of professionalism and his antics both on and off the pitch will be held up as example as "everything that is wrong with modern footballers".

Who will he target at Utd ?
I don't think his ego is bruised by Bruno. Those two get along famously and we played our best football last season with a midfield three of Bruno, Pogba and Matic in the post lockdown. Pogba was our only creative outlet from midfield before Bruno. No one in midfield even now has more assists and goals than him since he signed. You have to consider that he was also asked to play various positions in midfield while Bruno is in a settled attacking role
One of OGS’s many rich experiences is seeing directly how SAF dealt with such situations. So long as the club has full faith in him, I’m confident Ole will know how to handle the situation and media controversy or squad issues that is caused.I will be delighted when I stop seeing posts starting with "he's the most talented player we have, however...".
Has there been any comment from united?
This is how I see it as well. Don't think it will have overly negative impact, he has not been an important cog in the machine this season. Rest of the team will have a point to prove.One of OGS’s many rich experiences is seeing directly feeeling how SAF dealt with such situations. So long as the club has full faith in him, I’m confident Ole will know how to handle the situation and and media controversy or squad issues that is caused.
likw others have said, it now seems obvious that Donny was bought in advance of selling Pogba and that was part of the ongoing ‘cultural reset’ project Ole has been overseeing.
Remember that Raiola made a statement a few months back that he was confident Pogba would sign a new deal. I think the reason Raiola and Pogba have acted out is that MUFC denied him a lucrative new contract a few weeks ago.
I don’t think Pogba has any allies he can negatively disrupt in the squad. Many are Ole signings and others like Rashford,Shaw, Lindelof or Matic are happy and feel privileged to be at the club. I imagine it’s now just Pogba moaning with Lingard and that’s about it.

Totally agree and very well said.
The fact that he believes that he is 'unable to express himself ' is down to himself and nobody else.
I'm sure we'll get our side of the story the second Pogba's out of the door, I should imagine our journalists are licking their lips at the prospect of it.One of OGS’s many rich experiences is seeing directly how SAF dealt with such situations.

Leave him with the reserves.
I think the truth is Ole doesn’t want him anymore! Lots of credit to him for benching Pogba so often and making the team and fans believe we can function perfectly well without him.I'm sure we'll get our side of the story the second Pogba's out of the door, I should imagine our journalists are licking their lips at the prospect of it.
How can you think pogba is world class? He really isn’t.The difference between World class players and world class luxury players is;
When the team are playing crap and nothing is happening, the likes of Ronaldo, Messi, De Bruyne, Fernandes grab the team and drive them forward for the win and take the responsibility on their own shoulders. Thats world class!
Pogba, an extremely talented world class player, but a luxury player goes missing and doesn’t have that elite maturity to drag lesser talented players forward and set the example needed to be a leader!
Not entirely , I think he means he wants to play in the number 10 position and/or offensive left midfielder in a 4-3-3.
But if he hadnt openly flirted with Madrid last year we might not have gotten Bruno , so.
fans who attach themselves to individual players rather than a team.
Pretty spot on I think.
But bad time Frank, we are trying to sell him.
What you fail to realize is that most Pogba supporters are not even Manchester United supporters. Its a bit mad that i dont care whether he stays or leaves. i just want the club to prepare for his departure which should be much easier now than last year when this clown fiesta started.When this dabbing prat finally leaves I hope this cancerous part of our fanbase follows him.
I genuinely feel sorry for any Utd fan who idolises this fool. I'm only 35 and he's not even in my top 50 United players. Maybe not even top 100. I'd take a Nicky Butt over him any day of the week. Might not have the natural ability but more than made up for it in fight and balls.
Pogba will go down as one of if not the biggest flop in PL history now. Its all on him.
Good riddance to the circus. Its finally leaving town.
