English tabloid media cater to England fans (and are scummy as feck in general), so it's hardly surprising if they're less inclined to feel sorry for Pogba being booed (compared to Maguire).

That has nothing to do with how United fans perceive the players in question, though. And to imply that the latter (United fans) are unduly influenced by the Sun or the Mail (and their pro-England bias) is both a cheap shot and quite untrue in my experience. Most match going fans I know personally don't care about England - or very little at any rate.

Is fasting really the issue?

He hasn't looked right since he got COVID.

If, and I mean if, he hasn't recovered properly from the virus then says a lot that he is still playing

It doesn't have to be an issue, but you should definitely have a word about it with your manager and vice versa. I find it amazing that they haven't even discussed it yet.

Its got nothing to do with caring about the England team.

Yeah, I am not blaming him, it just goes to show the atmosphere in the team for me that they aren't even talking about it. It's not like it has happened yesterday, it's more than two weeks now, and Pogba generally has problems with stamina.

Yeah its a shame but I am not surprised one bit. Hopefully things change with the new setup but the knowing your players and man management at the club has been dire for a while

Oh yeah I agree with you there.

I just think, reading social media etc, fasting has become an issue for some folk whereas I think he was struggling to put in 90 minutes before Ramadhan. Seem to coincide with his getting the virus. His fitness/stamina normally has never been an issue even in past Ramadhan.

On a wider point I think it was Newcastle who first became "sensitive" to Muslim players. Putting in a prayer room etc at James park. Surprised it's not been as highlighted at 'bigger" clubs.

He has definately had fitness issues since coming back from his covid layoff. Whether or not its due to covid or some other injury he had (he has had quite a few long injury layoffs lately) who knows

With regards to muslims players. I noticed some criticism of Salahs form of late which I found interesting.

Well, it kind of does if the implication is that United fans are influenced by the (pro-Ingerland) gutter press.

And if that is not the implication, there's no need to mention the media at all (especially since 99% on here will agree that English (gutter) media is an abomination).

Yet we have seen the same kind of things like ‘he cares more about haircuts that football’ said by United fans on this very forum.

Its got nothing to do with the England TEAM is what I said.
 
Why are people trying to make this about race? Paul Pogba came with the price tag and reputation of one of the best Midfielders in the world and he's not even been as good as Jordan Henderson has for Liverpool in same time period. Not to mention the chaos surrounding his agent.

This is why fans have had enough of the BS. Fans feel badly let down by him because we all know he has the talent to be whatever he wants to be. Sadly he doesn't have the heart and attitude to match.

The connection to the England team is obviously via Maguire - whose case (of being booed) is constantly compared to Pogba's at the moment.

As far as haircuts are concerned - sure, we've seen comments of that ilk on here. They've been largely reduced to meme status by now, though. It would perhaps be more to the point to ask whether we have a substantial subset of fans who were always prejudiced against Pogba (because of...haircuts) - to which I would answer no, I really don't think so.

The vast majority of United fans (on here and elsewhere) welcomed him back and desperately wanted him to succeed. And the vast majority of those who now say "good riddance" do so for reasons that have nothing to do with his hair.

You wrote the above.

Im saying its got nothing to do with the England team. English tabloid media is just xenophobic in general
 
Imagine he moved to City :eek:
Could see it, don’t think he’s interested in uprooting his family, worth keeping an eye on.

There's no chance.

Pep likes his players to press and to work hard.

Two things that Pogba doesn't exactly excel at. Plus, I doubt Pep would green light Pogba's annual holiday... I mean... recuperation... to Dubai.
 
Feck this useless coward off tonight and take his fanboys with him.

What a waste of space he is.
 
I said few weeks ago tbat I am expexting him to miss this game with mysterious injury, but I wasn't far off. As soon as he saw we are losing he probably faked or overreacted to a nothing injury.
 
Imagine he feigned injury to be taken off as a final feck you to fans for being booed. :lol:
 
I'll miss his injuries when he leaves. These were some good 5 minutes played here. :lol: :drool:
 
I didn’t watch the game but I laughed out loud when I saw he’d been subbed off after 10 mins or whatever. I was certain he’d be “injured” in training before the game. And then seeing his sub on livescore just cracked me up….
The idea that he is genuinely injured is hilarious.
Hopefully that’s the last time he ever plays for us. Will be glad to see the back of this cnut and many others in the summer.
 
I've stopped caring about him. In my mind, he's already gone. Quicker we all move on, the better it is for everyone. Realistically, we haven't benefitted from him too much this season anyway.
 
Faked the injury. No question. Sent off on purpose at old Trafford. The embodiment of Woodwards reign
 
The fact that pretty much everyone agrees that he is not injured says a lot about him really.

I don't think anyone here thinks he was actually injured.

Well he’s very injury prone so I think that’s more likely than a professional footballer feigning injury.
