Clumsy with the ball and without it.

Actually thought he played better in the front three and if he does play that’s where it should be.

Still think we will challenge.
 
Unfortunately we can't play him in the same team as Bruno. It is too unbalanced. Bruno and Fred like to play quick football, McTominay and Pogba like to get hold of the ball and run with it. Two different midfields out there.
 
Someone do a montage of that second half. It was a horror show. You would swear he was a pub player he was so bad.
 
Do you have any actual evidence that he is a "Woodward signing"?

Evidence, not some stupidity like "Well, he's a big name player that was with us, and Woody wanted to get the fans onside" type BS...
I think its fair to call him a Woodward signing.
Arrived same time as Mourinho and Woodward had been arranging it for months and months prior to Mourinho.
Not sure he can be called a LVG or Mourinho choice although at the time everyone wanted him of course
 
Maybe just apologise for being such a liability rather than “ooooh I was a bit tired”. Little kids wouldn’t come out with this shit.
 
At least he influences games.....now he just needs to work on influencing them for the team he plays for :lol:
 
Not a great game but he was the only one in the diamond 4 that used the ball well and seemed to understand the shape, he made a mistake on the penalty but it's fine margins, he should go in the summer as I think it's best for both parties, but he was far from the problem today, people thinking two CM's with dodgy 1st touches and no passing range is the answer is a bigger concern.
 
When the bad is outweighing the good it's time to go.

He's been dreadful this season. 100% his last season here, you get that very certain feeling.

I think what says it all, is that we are forced to play two fairly average, but whole hearted players in the position he should excel at.

When you struggle to fit in your supposed top player, it really does seem a time for a change of club is needed.

How was he not the problem?

He gave away yet another fecking penalty.
 
He's one of the worst "great" players I can think of. He's still living off of a reputation from years ago at Juventus but without that you're left with an average player who's a liability more often than not. We should've cut our losses long ago.
 
I’d rather he didn’t attempt to defend at all. The manager needs to tell him just to leave his runners. He cannot do it.

We were quoted 120 million a year ago. It is about 35 million now. Goes down a couple of million with every bad performance.
 
Ffs the guy is a joke. Literally the most overrated player ever, he has made his name barely because of social media.

he has a good game every 15th game.. Just not good enough.

Expecting him to talk about Real Madrid the upcoming days again. Just f****** go already.
 
“I was a bit out of breath from running”- a professional footballer on c. £300,000 a week.

Would anyone have paid it? Even a year ago, he wasn't worth even half of that if you look at what he contributed to the team over several years.

I would say if we sold him after the world cup we could have got most of what we paid for him back. We would be doing well to get 40 million now.

Ole really should just drop him ASAP. Against the top teams or away from home you just cannot depend on him.
 
Complete liability at both ends of the pitch. Should be a bench player moving forward and sold in the summer if a suitable offer comes in.

That's already two years ago, but yes, I reckon we would've got a good fee for him then.
 
Tempted to say he's the most overrated player I've ever seen at Man Utd. Guess I just did.

Holding on to the ball so long wouldn't be so bad if you weren't so sloth-like when you have it. Poor decisions, weak mentality. We'll be better off when he fecks off, and so will he in a slower league.

The problem is, if they sack Ole the next guy will try the same all over again and appear justified when doing so. Just get rid.

It has gotten to the point where we cannot start him against any top 15 sides in the PL or away from home at all. He is a liability, an expensive one at that.

That is my nightmare. And then the next manager will be sacked also.
 
He has to be dropped, it's so obvious we are a better team without him playing. Solskjaer needs to make the decision or it could cost him the job.
 
He's the most overrated footballer on the planet, let alone midfielder. Loses possession constantly putting us under pressure, tries to dribble his way out of every situation and even when you'd forgive him for doing it in the attacking third, it also rarely comes off. I just can't get behind Pogba as a player or take him seriously.
 
It’s just bizarre watching him play like this. He’s always had so much talent, but if you watched a highlights package of today, you’d have never thought it.

I’ve not even been that bothered when he’s been pressed off the ball in dangerous positions over the last few years, because it always felt like he had too much too do in that midfield. But now? It just feels like a relationship that’s faded so much that both him and the fans are just going through the motions and waiting for the inevitable break up.
 
I don't know why he ever decided to be a midfielder anyway...should have been. Centre forward. I don't think I can recall a midfielder who is as bad at defending as he is... Plus at least if he was a forward he could afford to stand around and do nothing.
 
Just when we got to see Bruno and Pogba in the same 11 they both end up having a nightmare. Maybe they don't work together, but damn, Pogba in that 2nd half.. what the feck was that?
 
Just keeps handling ammunition to critics without any self awareness.

The most random and unfazed player on the planet.

He's not supposed to excel in the double pivot though, and the reason Ole persists with Fred and McTominay isn't for Pogba's benefit, it's to protect our slow, immobile CB partnership.

He gave away yet another fecking penalty.

It was fine margins, look at the use of the ball of the other CM's which meant we never got control of the game, look at the lack of hold-up play in the front 2, giving away the penalty was a mistake that could happen to a player having a brilliant game, the issue with the overall performance of the team wasn't on him today.
