I'm pretty sure we'll make that mistake though. Really hope Rangnick would have a say here.
Rangnick would proably like to use a younger and hungrier player who can contribute defensive work and pass the ball forward. That player does not even need to be as talented as Pogba.
I think RR just looks at him and sees an injury prone player who is nearly 29 and has had his work ethic in games non stop questioned since arriving here. Unless he signs a new deal he’ll get no real game time. Ole was way too close emotionally to him, RR won’t give a feck.
Hopefully we can offload in January although I think it’s highly unlikely as fat man will want a cut of his free transfer
At this point I'm completely relaxed. If he can adapt to play the way RR wants then he'll be extremely valuable. If he can't, or won't (I'm not sure he wants to work that hard), then we don't need the distraction, and inconsistent performances.
…..what a way to fecking bring some standards back to the club and not give a shit about begging and pleading to any player regardless of who it is. And this is coming from a Pogba fan. Just a great way to set the record straight for all current players at the club and any future players + said agents.
No more having to offer outrageous £300k+ wages just to retain players that aren’t keen on staying. This is the United way. SAF will be most definitely proud. He had a similar standard and used it with players that are many times the player/talent and fame of any current players on the team. This is proper authority and respect for the club, simple as that. In the past, if players felt they were special like on some sort of pedestal with management/managers having to cater to them — it won’t be the case anymore. They can pack their ego and their bags because no more such treatment will be had. Things will be laid out straight with Rangnick spearheading the club and it’ll be as simple as agreeing to be on board or see yourself at the door.
Loving this!!!
It’s refreshing to hear…it’s crazy looking back under Ole, players could have 12 months of poor form and know they’re playing next game anyway. They’re was no reward for training performances either….so you’re either in or you’re out. No wonder we ended up in a mess.
May I ask what Raiola said?
Yes, reading between the lines it sounds that the level of interest that they expected is just not there (I mean he basically said that he touted him to Bayern but they have no interest). And it is not really surprising. He is 29 in a few months, had quite a few injuries over the last years, very inconsistent at United. For all his ability it is a huge risk to give him a sizeable long contract now. With his salary demands he always had very limited options, probably only PSG and RM now, and it is not certain they would be that interested, they could offer a contract but I do not think they would give him crazy money/signing on fee, as he would not be a "get-at-all-costs" priority as he could have been 3 years ago.
