Because he was a world record transfer at the time and has allowed his agent to flirt around with other clubs, slate our club and even slate ex-legends here during the six years.
WOuld disagree every season he has been at least above average, he has been average for half of them and not had a single season that he has been world class for the season.
Hardly the first record transfer to flop, hardly our worst player...but I feel we expected more both as a player and in terms of loyalty and support to the club which hasnt appeared to be there with all the agent talk.
I think all the other players you mention have got loads of criticism, Maguire worse than Pogba, the booing in my opinion is that a player that has cost a fortune and is leaving on a free, hasnt looked like they are giving there all and leadign the side either.
Him wanting to leave personally doesnt bothr me, well within his rights, on that side I am more dissapointed we didnt seel him two seasons ago when he had value
Ok, I never said those words but whilst we are thereYet you’re surprised ?
Yes because he started to make those comments whilst he was underperforming and the fans were on his side
now we are sick of his shit, he’s underperforming, making comments that he wants to leave and has done for a couple years now. So he very rightly gets the reception he got
Fans were on his side
Pogba booed coming off and muted applause then for Rashford coming on. One waste of space for another
Pogba stats for today:
74 minutes played
77 touches
53 (90%) passes completed
2 long balls completed
7 dribbles completed
10 duels won
1 foul won
1 interception
3 clearances
9 recoveries
Is that really that bad??

Genuinely have no idea, how does that compare with other players playing that position today?
Ward Prowse vs Arsenal for example, what were his equivalent stats?
Yeah, it's Becks all over again.
It's a shame it didn't work out for Pogba and United, a crying shame given his undoubted talent, but that's just the way it is I guess.
Have to be honest I'm not much of a stat person. Tend to go with what I see, but stats seem to be all the rage and according to some I know these are decent stats made better (apparently) because of players out, how we set up, position played etc
Hoping someone can shed light on this. I posted hoping people who go by these things will respond
Our entire board should be fired for letting this parasite stay at the club for as long as he has been, and our coaching staff should be reprimanded for continuing to play him while letting a hard working, skillful player leave on loan...
What is his stat for jogging around or letting players run off him?
People can boo and let there feelings known and stuff but it’s us fans that are wasting our money watching the crap week in week out. Pogba won’t care if he gets booed, he’s still getting his weekly wage, same with rashford, same for the rest of the team. They don’t care about the fans. The fans need to stop turning up if they really want to protest.
He was his usual poor self today. A few flashy touches here and there, the odd halfway decent pass thrown in, but nothing especially key. Similar to Bruno actually. I thought both were poor on the whole and shamefully outplayed by Lingard.
While I completely agree that we shouldn't play him anymore, we are only 3 points off 4th place right now so there is a lot to play for. I just don't think Pogba is the guy to help get us across the line...
Or how does it compare with other players playing for United today would be a more relevant point
Nope. Just scapegoated for the teams performance as usual. Some around him were absolutely abysmal
They still want to keep him!
I will never understand the fans who boo their own players. What exactly do they hope to achieve?
Yes he’s been a flop in the grand scheme of things, but he wasn’t responsible for his transfer fee in the same way that Maguire wasn’t. Today he played as a lone anchor without any supporting defensive midfielder.
He’ll be off in the summer and fans will find someone else to boo. We should at least back him until then. It’s just so counterproductive to team morale and can have a negative impact on performance. You’ll never find Liverpool fans do the same to their own.

If a boo moves him one inch closer to deciding to leave, or the board one inch further away from deciding not to offer him a pathetic, desperate contract offer, then it's worth it.
In fact it'd be worth millions.
I think we can all agree his second spell here has been a nightmare and find it highly improbable he’ll stay.
Closet Liverpool fan boy ?
pretty sure if I Google it I’ll find Liverpool fans booing one of their players
I thought the booing was more related to him leaving on a free, depriving the club of millions that could go towards his replacement, rather than his performance which was pretty much stand for him these days.
I could be wrong, I haven't been to home game in years.
No idea, you're the one providing stats trying to imply he played well, you tell us? I saw the performance in person, I don't need stats to judge it today.
For couple years yesFans were on his side
Then we got sick of waiting
the guy could of been remembered as a great midfielder but instead he’ll be forgotten, wasteman
I don't know abot the stats, mate. I'm just going on what I saw from him today, which wasn't much if I'm honest.
Why would you back a player who doesn’t want to be here?
He is partially responsible, he and his agent will discuss wages
and we do because how else are we to get across our opinions to a multi millionaire man child ?
Yeah, for shirt sales. I've never seen a player with so much talent but no heart. He cares more about dance moves than winning. It's pretty bad when you can get out played by Mark f***ing Nobel on more than one occasion
Not since they’ve been successful you won’t. There’s a reason why it’s almost impossible to win at Anfield these days. They play with their team and scream for everything. We have such a disunity between the fans and the players, and even in the dressing room.
Isn’t that on the club though? They’ve had ample opportunity to ship him and his parasitic agent off. Just like with Lingard.
I didn't imply anything.
I asked the question if this was bad. Or good
I also specified, after, that stats aren't my thing but are increasingly used these days and I hope someone who understands them more can respond.
So basically you’re saying Liverpool fans aren’t booing their own players because they’re winning games week in week out . Do you wonder why Utd fans are then booing our players ?
Fair enough fella. To be perfectly honest I don't go by stats either. It just seems to be a thing these days. Don't get me started on XG
I didn't even go looking for these tbh. It was posted by someone else on a different platform to say he played well. Not sure personally of those stats are good, bad or indifferent.
The one thing that has got me going hmmm is some of the responses (not yours by the way). Does imply a one rule for one one for another type of thing.
So we shouldn't play Pogba an actual quality player but we should keep playing Maguire?
Not sure why people think the boos and chants were for his 75 min performance in the game.
He has pissed the fans of for years, and now he is about to leave the fans can let him know what they think of him.
He is free to do another interview whenever he likes to say how the season is Dead and he hasn’t been happy blah blah, but he shouldn’t expect a free pass from the match going fans.

Being booed and told to feck off today of all days made zero fecking sense at all.
To be honest a lot of our fans kind of suck.

To be fair he clearly did care with reacting to it at the end.
Pogba will leave, we'll still be shit until most of this squad is dismantled.
Those people that think that Pogba will leave and we'll suddenly become title contenders need their head wobbled.

This is like the Ronaldo being the problem situation, in the way that Pogba obviously has been a letdown and going forward maybe isn’t the right option but we have so many problems that he isn’t the main issue.
Our MF without Pogba consists of Fred and Mctominay so while Pogba is a letdown and should go we really need upgrades first in CM and defence

Literally nobody has ever said this.
I bet you can't find a single person that thinks that though.
