Feels strange and ambivalent. I still remember following the transfer saga 24/7 for most of the summer in 2016 and being over the moon when he was finally announced. A shame that it never really worked out like we all wanted apart from a few purple patches here and there.
Paul Pogba officially leaves Manchester United
- Thread starter L1nk
- Start date
He was the catalyst for Ole’s unbeaten run that gave Ole the full time gig. There are articles from around that time calling him the best player in the league. He also topped all United attacking assists prior to Mourinho. Your post is just wrong.
Good Riddance
Jogging all the way to Turin.
What a waste... Good luck not him but can't say I'm even remotely bothered about him leaving.
Yep. Absolute joke shop.
Then he went on international duty in March, mouthed off about leaving and downed tools for the of the season. It cost us top 4.
Twice a red, always a red!
Happy this saga is over. Completely overrated twat.

Glad we announced this so that Pogba could focus on his long list of suitors 
The little matter of trying to leave for the past 4 years aswell
Thank you and good luck Paul! (Except playing against us of course.

Only Juve with a wage cut of 50%
As always, more complex than "he was shite". Wish him all the best and happy for both parties to move on.
I would be furious at this guy if he was at my club. Left as a youngster on a free, came back on a club record and didn’t really give a fk and is now leaving on a free again. How bad has this deal been? From free transfer to free transfer with 80+m in fees involved and he was mostly useless.
The statement the club put out is laughable. There was no need for the PR spin, it could have simply been left as confirmation he is leaving. That would have reflected the feeling of most observers well enough without being unprofessional.
I was addicted to his transfer saga. Feel indifferent about him leaving. Right player, wrong time. Imagine adding Pogba to a full functioning ten Hag team - really would be cherry on the top. For now, we have to focus on a rebuild.
I’m just glad we can finally wash our hands of him once and for all.
Relieved. Part of me was genuinely concerned he'd sign a huge contract with us considering the radio silence from the other supposedly interested clubs.
Good luck to him, but also good riddance to the circus that came with him.

Good luck now.
Thanks for all the meh.

Awful deal!
The only saving grace is that he was super marketable. I'm sure he made the club a fair few £ off the field the last handful of years.
What I never understand with the united board is that they know Pogba is not renewing his contract and had known this for awhile but will allow the media to portray this notion that he may renew. If it wasn't for Rangnick confirming we would have been told on 1 July.
This is the same with Lingard.
A lot of clubs say it outright when a player will not be renewing his contract.

What's important to remember is we are keeping a lot of players much worse than Pogba.
Our Midfield is in tatters. Without 2 new starters next season we won't have a hope.
Even if we get FDJ. He will fail without a partner

I deal in facts not in these scenarios you’re conjuring up. I merely replied to an erroneous statement that he only sustained good form for a brief period when Mourinho left. That’s not true and it’s easily verifiable.
Either way, this is the thread confirming he’s leaving so no need to pick up arms. He’s gone now.
This thread is gonna be a train wreck
The idea of Pogba is always better than the reality. He's been nothing but a disappointment for me. Hasn't justified his price tag one bit. Wants the prestige of being a big name without putting the effort or desire for it.
However, for the club to let him go twice and not make any money on it is shameful. That money could have been reinvested into the squad. At the same time, we all know nobody would stump up the cash for him anyway, so we've got a player who doesn't do an awful lot, who won't bring in money for us with a transfer, and who is leaving on a massive loss. Terrible signing, all round, and terrible club management of him. Big fecking meh.

Goodbye my Pogba
Goodbye my friend
You aint been the one
You aint been the one for me

Good player just never consistent enough
Definition of a modern day player- Football is just a job for him
Won’t be missed

In the end it just didn't work out. I'll always have a soft spot for him regardless.
What a relief. Huge misadventure. Such an overrated diva of a footballer. I wish him well for his future, but won't be missing him one bit.
1 down, lots of more to go.
Obviously speaking from the fan's POV as this message was addressed for the fans no ?
If you look at the most expensive signings in history of football, a ridiculous percentage of them have completely failed at their club.
There is a lesson to be learned from all of this

Rejoice I guess
Down to the bare bone in CM
What disappointed me was the huge gap between his potential (Yaya/Vieira) and his on pitch reality, what annoyed me was his failure to slap down his agent, what pleases me is that the saga has finally ended.
We need 3 signings there (maybe 2 if VDB is to be used)
Honestly, that would be hilarious
Quality signings too. I hope De Jong happens.
Good riddance.
They never miss the opportunity for social media interactions
