He probably tells Ole he is keen to sign next year so he picks him, only to move on in summer.
Paul Pogba / turned down United offer of 300k as “nothing”
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
I reckon he's already decided to leave on a free. Otherwise, we'd be hearing a lot more rumblings about how the contract negotiations are going.
Like Donnarumma last season, he and Raiola will wait till after the last game in May to announce it.

That fat cnut will only wait until we have a crucial Champions League tie to announce it.
Seen this before from him, he’s one of the more vocal in the dressing room and one of the leaders.
Supposed to have done the same in the WC final they won.
That doesn't make sense. They are different players who play different positions. Doing some statistical goals/assists comparison is nothing short of stupid. Saying Pogba played further forward he'd score less is pointless since that's not his position. Bruno in midfield would end in tears in itself so why do it?
I agree. One thing that Bruno isn't is consistent. He's sensational when he's in top form but he is anything but consistent.
‘He’s class of course but. . .’, said most Caf members before they go on to tell you Player A is better than Pogba. I’d get onto your Bernardo points but I’m unsure if it’s him or Iniesta you’re discussing.
Look at him encouraging his teammates & demanding they up their standards, an absolute cancer in the dressing room. Deschamps must be furious. France really need a Maguire type if they’re ever to do anything.
Because in our team, there is no balance unless we chose to play Pogba as a 10. Which is where Bruno plays. I've said it since we signed Bruno pretty much, he was the replacement for Pogba because on the pitch, playing them together means one goes out of position. At least in Uniteds system. But any team he'd have to be the most creative/free midfielder out of a 3 for it to work best which is the same as Bruno. Different players but they effectively play the position and why it's one or the other for me.
Bernardo is no Iniesta but he is a class player in his own right. And it's not that he's a better player than Pogba. He's more suited to what Pep wants which is pretty obvious.
The good news just keeps coming doesn’t it? Shambles.
who knows how a potential manager change might shake things up. If not we took a gamble to keep him but doesnt look to have paid off.
Meh, not bothered. Him and Bruno can never be balanced playing together. Plus, he carries a lot of fecking baggage with him. Get rid, find a player for half his wages that will do a better job. There are plenty.
That directly contradicts what Pogba himself is publicising.
From his recent story:
No it doesn't. Pogba showed respect to the club by tweeting (the least he could and should do really) but still wants to leave. Two different matters.
It's Ogden, the opposite of what he's saying will happen.
We'll see if he does eventually get his wish to leave. So far, Pogba himself hasn't leaked out much about whether he wants to stay or leave, and recently, Raiola has mostly been quiet about Pogba and his future.
If he tweeted something like "I love this club but my career is short and I want another challenge in a different league so I won't be extending my contract", would he get any points for honesty?
Or would he be better off keeping his mouth shut?

Pogba is a brilliant player on his day, but needs certain players around him, and doesnt have his day too often whilst playing for Utd. I dont think he will be that big a loss, certainly how we are set up at the moment. Serves the Glazers right in a way. They could have got 50-60 mill the summer before this. Even 30 mill this summer. If a player makes excuses why he wants to wait, you can take that as hes running the clock down and the niavity of the board to not see this is astonishing, well any other board it would be.
Can't believe people are actually worried/bothered Pogba is going to leave for nothing next summer.
The best thing for United would be him going regardless of the lack of fee. We've wasted five years trying to shoe horn the self loathing show pony into our side.
I can't wait for the day we no longer have to find a position for him in our side, he's not worth all the hassle he brings.
Goodbye good riddence.

The latter. The mob on Twitter won’t appreciate the honesty. At best, he’ll get a ton of hate, at worst (and honestly most likely), actual abuse.
I’d be keeping my options open and my cards close to my chest if I was him.
You lot never learn. He’ll go pull trees elsewhere like he does on international duty, and we’ll replace him with another limited footballer who can barely pass and whose only quality is being physical and running fast.
I agree with you that it hasn’t worked out for him here on the whole, but he’s done things on the football pitch that none of our other players can even dream of doing. Too bad he played under Mourinho with all his issues and a rookie manager with primitive tactics.
Sell him in January and loan in players from China or the United States to play CM. Sell Pogba for 20 million pounds. I would sell Pogba in January and use Sancho in Central midfield for the time being. Our team is very strong so we can do that. Pogba doesn't have discipline to play cm defensively yet has the physique that other players don't.
I've learned over the last five years he's grossly overatted.
He had one of World footballs best managers in Mourinho before him and he was equally as inconsistent.
And was equally as outspoken, he needs to go and I will wave him off happily.
Di Maria and Pogba, I'd have them as my most disliked players ever for United.
At this point, I honestly want him to leave and play for another club. I want to see if we see the national team Pogba or the United Pogba over the course of a season.
Pretty ambivalent about his situation. Ultimately if another club is offering him higher wages, fair play to him. It'll also leave a space for the next manager to fill in with what he wants.

I’ve put up a barrier recently so I’m just numb to anything United-related right now, so...yeah...whatever.
Those sources will be Romano after Ogden was on his podcast earlier.
He’ll probably go somewhere else and pull up trees but it could be a blessing in disguise for United as a new manager could go out and get one or two premium midfielders of his choice and not have to worry about the Pogba puzzle.
Yeah Romano parroting Ogden like always. He had Ogden on his podcast earlier, I listened on way home (no idea why) and Romano is literally telling Ogden that his latest info on the Ole situation was ‘really interesting’ and blah blah. Yet a few hours earlier he’s tweeting word for word what Ogden had said himself as though it’s his own information after speaking with ‘sources.’ Laughable.
Is Ogden even considered reliable by people who believe journo’s?
These idiots know less than us on the caf unless it’s specifically a briefing that comes from the club, in which case multiple sources are told at the same time.
You ok?
Meh
Good riddance, dont let the door hit you on your way out
Yeah, yeah... yeah, let's do that!
Mourinho certainly wasn't one of the worlds best managers by the time he was managing us.
Seems to me that it’s best for everyone that he moves on. It hasn’t gone as well as anyone would have liked. He’d prefer to be elsewhere and he’s not played well enough to justify us spending the sort of wages he’d want. Right now he’s playing under a manager who doesn’t trust him to play in his natural position. He’s not suddenly going to become the player we need and we’re not suddenly going to afford him the indulgence to play the way he’d prefer while winning trophies.
