He is constantly injured I don’t think so
If United had signed Bernardo Silva a few years ago, the tone would be the same right now. Pogba would be brilliant for City.
I could easily see Pogba sign the contract and be out injured for the next four seasons. After all, cashing in a £400,000 check every week is strenuous.
He'd rip it up at City, but I'm just about done with him here now so, it is what it is. It's took me a long time to accept it justbisnt going to work out here, but I think I'm finally there.
They're welcome to him.
They'd be mental to sign him.
Wouldn't be surprised if this is a last ditch attempt to try and get Utd to offer him a megabucks contract.
Given his performance and injuries over the last 2 years, I'd be shocked if anyone is offering what he's looking for.

How much would they have to pay Stormzy to do a short rap about Manchester being blue for his introductory video?
It's exactly what it is I think. City play games with us. It's happened with Fred Maguire. Sanchez and Ronaldo.
Call their bluff. I bet they don't even offer him a contract. It's all BS.
That’s some paranoia mate.
Pogba is as anti Pep as they come and yet people still believe City are interested in him?
Don't think it is. They know how much of a shambles we are and like to twist the knife.
For a player most of you despise, his thread strangely always finds a way to stay top of mind.
This is genuinely bizarre.
He's leaving, why do people care so much where?

Genuinely insane that after five years of watching him here, United fans can form such an opinion. I expect it from ‘narrative and agenda’ pundits like Micah Richards and Jamie Redknapp. Micah Richards described Pogba as some one who “scores goals” he’s got five league goals in three seasons…..
Paul Pogba is 30 in a few months. Pep Guardiola is the most meticulous coach in the world. All of his midfielders are required to be agile, nimble, decisive and work horses.
And yet people think he’s going to sign someone with none of those attributes and further yet that he’s going to be a success. A player who can’t last 60 mins, a player who showboats, holds onto the ball too long and has the defensive awareness of a toddler.
He’s 30 years old in March, there is no change in his game coming. People can blame everyone else for him not being a success here but even under Ole we were decent for a good year and he played zero part in that. He never ever carried this team the way Bruno, Rashford, Ronaldo have done at various stages over the last few years.
I wish city sign him and drop Foden, De Bruyne and Bernardo to play him. Unfortunately Manchester City aren’t run by idiots and don’t have an idiot manager and so Pogba won’t be joining them.
love how people make him seem like bad person.
The 2 agreeing that he'd be a good signing is enough for me to know that he isn't.
I doubt it. We don't matter to them like that, we don't compete with them.
Probably because it might be City.
He's a Manchester United youth product who left under a cloud on a free to Juventus when he was 18. He then came back for £90m, then a world record fee. He's been largely disappointing in light of a world record transfer fee and is no leaving on a free again, possibly to our bitter cross town rivals!
It's a massive story for United fans for quite obvious reasons. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that some fans are apathetic towards him joining City.
It's not bizarre at all. Hate is a negative emotion and negativity attracts more attention than positivity.
In theory, a player performance thread seems pretty innocuous but I cannot think of a more negative energy outlet than this. If someone were to ask me what I'd think I might see in any given performance thread, I'd say things like key passes, passing accuracy, ball recoveries, duels won, progressive passes, passes in the final third, shots, average player position etc...I've never seen much of any of this kind of analysis in Pogba's thread. It's basically tabloid grievance stuff coupled with unfavorable comparisons to the glory years.
Change the the title of these threads to properly reflect what they actually are (random people's personal beefs for not worshipping at the MUFC Church of 'How to properly act as a player'...or actually moderate them accordingly.

Ornstein has said he’s turned down city and favours “the whole package offered to him by another club”.
I don't actually believe City have offered him a deal anyway. It's pure BS. He's not good enough to play in that team.
This here is an example of why it's bizarre. Hate is such a strong emotion that can only be justified as a response to extremely despicable conduct. Why would anyone hate Pogba? It's fair if you think he's been a waste or doesn't work hard, or has been angling for a move for some time. Those are all good reasons to want him gone (whether they're true or not), but how are those sufficient reasons for hate?
Usually, it would be a massive story - if the player were a Rooney type player adored by the fans. But you've forgotten the part where the majority of fans here have been desperate to see him gone.
This is not a beloved youth product leaving to our rivals. It's by most accounts, here, a very poor player who nobody wants around. Right? I mean, prior to the news of city interest, it was all "good riddance", him getting booed, Mourinho was right, etc.
Do you care if your garbage ends up on the lawn of the neighbour you hate the most?
So I would expect to see the same level of apathy as when Own Hargreaves moved to City. It was a very similar move, wasn't it?
- Cost a relative fortune
- Was just a decent player (even a poor one who never put a shift in according to many)
- Always injured at the end
And the thing that really baffles me is that most of the posts aren't even about the particular act of Pogba moving to City, they're mostly arguments of how he would fit in there or whether he won't.
It's as if, at this point, people want him gone but also want him to fail to prove they were right. That is just sad.
I dont give a toss about Pogba but I think any player going from ours to City direct is going to be discussed. Even if they signed Brandon Williams.
Honestly I'm baffled as to why you think it is similar to Owen Hargreaves or why people wouldn't talk about Pogba on here. Pogba has been at United for 10 years of his life and he was a world record signing for us. He's a key protagonist of the post-Fergie era. He will continued to be talked about on here long after he's gone.
The show pony can go to City and manage to unite the two halves of Manchester, simply out of spite for him.
Imagine the chants at the derby, Stretford End: We hate Pogba. Away End: We hate him more.

I gave you a reference. Was there even a 10th of this level of interest in Owen Hargreaves moving to city?
Of course not. He only had one knee at that point. Tevez however…
I'd say Pogba swings much closer to Hargreaves here?
Tevez was loved and wanted and the fans felt the club should have done more to keep him.
Yeah there was a discussion, but also worth noting he was finished as a footballer by the time he moved over.
Tevez was marginalized the season prior to his departure. While he was obviously a better player than Pogba, as I recall opinion was split in regard to his going or staying before City came calling. I might be mistaken about that. But either way Pogba is much more Tevez than Hargreaves who was a crock for us before moving to City. Let’s not kid ourselves here.
In terms of fans wanting the player it's not even close. Most Fans wanted Tevez and I think the discussion centered around the cost of keeping him rather than his value to the club, and most sympathised with him feeling sidelined; most were indifferent to Hargreaves; but most actually hate Pogba and want him out. There are those who will also argue that Pogba is crocked as well.
There's a huge irony in saying "can't wait to see the back of him" then camping out in his thread forever.
Not sure I agree.
For one, Pep takes no prisoners - no one in Pep's teams is allowed not to work hard. Aguero, Yaya, and other more productive big players have either had to adapt or leave.
Basically, Pep's system works because they all put the same amount of work in - it's different to Juve and France. The best result for City, if he does go, would be that they have situations in difficult games when they need some individual brilliance to bring something different if Plan A is not working.
I don’t see the irony. If he inspires such hatred he will obviously inspire more posts in this thread. This coming from someone who has barely ventured into this thread for months.
On the rest let’s just say his departure will cause more of a stir than Hargreaves as there is still the question of whether or not he could do the business consistently in a well functioning side in a clearly defined role. Sounds an awful lot like things we heard about Tevez at the time as I recall. And it was true.
Don't care where he ends up. I'm just looking forward to a Pogba-less squad
I saw this yesterday. Surely Redknapp and Micah dont believe what they said right?
Carragher is right. Now that Pogba is linked with City, they are now saying hes this guy who will work hard there and fit their system.
If he does end up working hard for them, its just a bigger indication of what type of person and player Pogba is. I dontk now which would be worse. (probably for us, him going there and working week in and week out)
As long as he leaves. I’m not one bit bothered where he ends up
Latest brief is that he's not joining City. It's between Juventus, PSG, and Real Madrid. Are we supposed to be thankful he has rejected our neighbours? 
Pogba is struggling to get the deal he wants…not as many takers as he thought they would be. Time for a pay cut I recon Paul.
United should wish him well and never have anything to do with him again.

Can't recall if Redknapp said he'd give you goals.
He's had 1(?) season where he's broke into double figures.
I agree with Carragher (ugh), although looks likely he won't be staying in England, he is definitely not one for City.
In all honesty the Premiership is to fast and physical for him.
Carragher always does an accidentally great job representing United fan opinion on these things.
The other two are deluded. But then there's always a ridiculously high level of delusion about the quality of United players as soon as they leave the club. Happened with Lukaku - who then reminded everyone how useless he is in the Prem this season. Will happen with Lingard and Pogba. Will happen with Rashford whenever he goes.
