First 10 seconds: Pogba appears, energetic and buzzing, rubbing off on the players around him. Next scene, on comes Rooney, the Captain, sulking and frowning. Says a lot really.

I noticed that.

Pogba, Schneiderlin and TFM walked on looking buzzing and raring to go. Rooney and Carrick followed thinking 'we are fecked' :lol:
 
Like with Rooney, I'm assuming his marketability won't be looks based unlike Beckham
He's got an infectious level of charisma about him. Look at all those adidas videos and promo pictures. He can get away with the dancing, the poses and the clothes because he pulls it off well.
 
Had Pogba remained in Italy then he would not be suspended for Juventus' first Serie A match of the upcoming season. The disciplinary rules of the Italian Football Association (FIGC) state clearly that any ban picked up in the Coppa Italia -- Italy's domestic cup competition -- only applies in that particular competition.

Article 19, section 11.1 of the FIGC's disciplinary regulations states that any sanctions "in relation to Coppa Italia or Regional Cup matches organised by regional committees are to be applied in the respective competitions. As such, the Coppa Italia is to be considered separate from the relative leagues."

The next section, 11.2, goes on to detail how the disciplinary rules in the Coppa Italia differ from the Serie A rules in that an automatic one-game suspension applies after just two yellow cards.

In Serie A, a player is banned after five, 10, 14, 17, 19 and 20 bookings. Pogba was shown 10 yellow cards in the league last season, and he consequently missed two league matches, including the penultimate game of the season.

He was also booked twice in the Coppa Italia, with the yellow card in the final victory over AC Milan consequently ruling him out of his next appearance in the Coppa Italia, but not affecting his eligibility for any other competition.

However, the FA does not make the same distinction between league and cup competitions in English football. Under Article 12 of FIFA's regulations Pogba's ban has been transferred on to what would have been his first Premier League appearance since he came on as a substitute in a 5-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on March 18, 2012.

Desperate as I still believe he is ours :lol:

But I think I can hang on till Southampton game as I'll be there to witness it :D

Can't wait for this season!
 
Patrice Evra should be our ambassador of banter.

I honestly don't think there is a more fan wide loved ex player than Pat.

Scholes maybe, but after his miserable punditry career thus far, maybe not.

Sir Bobby would be a good shout as well, but many fans seem to think he stood in the way of Mou replacing Fergie.
 
It's absolutely ridiculous how we can compete with Barca and Real in terms of money and status even though in the past 3 years we've gone from Sir Alex to Moyesy and Van Gaal, with no CL football (except that one year with VG where we did, but didn't get past the group stages) and playing ugly football. To top it all, Barca and Madrid have a TV deal that gives them 80% of the revenue and have won CL's in these years, as well as other trophies while we have had one FA cup. And not to mention while Real Madrid and Barca have Ronaldo and Messi as their poster boys, we have fecking Rooney.

Imagine if Mourinho had taken over after SAF... We would have been the richest club by far. It really boggles my mind how Moyes got the job, that's something I'll never figure out.


One reason why when we look back I am glad Pogba left, I would dread seeing Pogba played under the clueless one, and the stubborn one. Think the club were in their own arrogant bubble back then, where they thought any hack could take over and the level of success would continue over. The club have learnt harsh and cold truths, that no levels cannot drop, and to stay on top the best guys have to be hired
 
Vidic/Rio?
Evra has a more volume public personality - you rarely see Vidic saying something and Rio doesn't have Evra's imagination and sense of humor, although I'm sure he is loved here massively and it's always nice to hear him speak about us.

Beckham is a great shout though, @unitedbhoy, his return to the OT was something else!

Love Becks
 
I know a lot of people here think Ronaldo is a cock, but he's shown nothing but love and respect towards the club since leaving. His close relationship with SAF scores huge amounts of brownie points as well.

Not Eric, Becks or Evra level, but he deserves a place in this discussion for me.
 
Evra should definitely come back to United as an ambassador once he retires. Like his old mate Ji-Sung :drool:
 
It's a close one but I think Pat because of his love for the club!
Pat is just unreal because 1. He loves the club and 2. His personality is off the charts.

Eric ans Beckham comes closest but non have Evra's level of banter.

Cantona personality was one of the reason why he was King. They even made a whole movie about how loved he was by the fan(s).

Beckham daren't say a bad word about anyone. He's as much an ambassador for Arsenal as a he is for us.
 


Just know he posted that for us as much as Pogba or he'd have written it in French. Won't be surprised to hear in a few years time that Evra played a part in Pogba deciding to come home - just can't say it right now while Evra is still at Juve.
 
I don't think there has ever been as obvious an ambassador as Evra. Now him and the Pog needs to gang up with Griezmanns brother and tap up the Griez severely.

What a dream signing he'd be in behind Zlatan.

Completely agree. He might not be the favourite former player but he's the favourite former personality. Embodied everything good about United.
 
This reminds me of when the FA banned Scholes and Rooney for being sent off in a friendly. But then it's to be expected - ingerlund are a joke so they need to vent their frustration on successful foreign players.

If those pathetic shit houses at the FA are hitting us with petty punishments again, it's probably another sign we're back on the right track.
 


(near-naked wingers aside) good to see that Pogba is fitting in with the new signings :lol: went for dinner with Mkhitaryan the other day as well

It's still surreal seeing pogba and Zlatan in United gear :drool:

Hey before we last played Arsenal he said "Come on United!"

Also had digs at City when he was playing for LA.

But yeah he is very respectful to all his ex Clubs, including Preston North end
 
You can tell he absolutely loved it here when he was first with us. Watching the behind the scenes of his signings. He was so hyped. The fact that his family never left the area is also telling. Unlike most signings, he doesnt need any settling period, off the pitch.
