350k a week is more than De Gea
Can't wait to see the back of him. Rather have a less gifted player that gives a damn.
De Gea is on 375k isn’t he?
oh maybe, I thought he was on 315k
Give him the money and renew. With the additions we’ve made, keeping him and adding a good DM we’ll be cooking with gasoline.
£350K is more than enough and I doubt there is a club willing to pay him more than that.
And I highly doubt Pogba would take a pay cut to join any club. This reeks of a ploy by the fat Italian to pressure United into upping the offer even more if you ask me .

so it's about money, huh? Shocker. If we haven't learned our lessons after the Sanchez and De Gea contracts, I really don't know if we ever will.
Good that it's PSG. We should get the best possible deal. Last thing we need is Real on a free or Juve penny-pinching. If he's going let's get it done quick.
You say that, but he's quite clearly doing a Rooney or running his contract down.
The former, he's done nothing to deserve such a contract and the latter is clearly a move we can't allow.
Him staying has very little impact on winning, it could have massive ramifications for squad harmony though.
Mitten said United wouldnt go crazy and to keep him, so im guessing the 350k /w which we offered isnt gonna increase. Pogba probably wants to be the best paid in PL (around 400k /w+).
BUT - he also says noone really knows if Pogba wants to extend or not. So Pogba has probably not rejected the offer straight up , he just hasnt accepted it .
Mitten is probably the most well connected man inside United thats not a brief journo

350k puts him at just under De Gea as our second highest earner. How much does he want, honestly?
400? 500? 600? Parity with Messi?

Why can't we allow him running down his contract? If PSG don't pay up we should keep him. We're not desperate for the money and by all the reports he's not an issue but a fairly popular figure in the dressing room. People have talked about him causing issues in the dressing room for years but no sources have ever said that's the case.
I’m assuming he will not sign. But I think I’d still take another year of him along with our new signings. If he leaves for free exit summer, so be it.
it's a bad look to lose him for nothing twice, I just can't see the club be fine with that. Apart from that we could certainly use the funds to further add to the team. The smart play is to sell him now.
do people really want this contract thing to be a constant distraction all year?
Feels like Raiola is stringing everyone along so he can leave on a free next season. Just move him on now.
Considering there's no clear cut replacement available for the fee we'd be getting, this is the way to go for me.
Given his brand I'd say Riaola is probably pushing for parity with Messi and Ronaldo, despite Pogba not being fit to lace either of their boots he'll of convinced him that's his worth
Ideally that would be great - but I just don't even that is worth it. All season we'll have to listen to the speculation about where he goes next and when we get to the business end of the season he's going to be careful in case he gets an injury before the end of the season. I say cash in now. If we can do that, bring in a Camavinga, Saul, Neves or Bissouma, I'd be happy with that.
Just think the optics for the club of losing him twice on a free, especially after bringing him back for a club record fee, it's just not going to happen.
I'm certainly not implying no one likes him or he's a toxic personality, but I was implying if he renews and gets more than 350 a week, I don't see how that doesn't cause issues.
Sell a player for £50m now, otherwise lose him on a free next season? People act like £50m is nothing. The club didn’t even make profits over £50m before COVID. It’s a lot of money for a player who doesn’t want to be here. Best to sell whilst we can get some money so it can be invested on a player who wants to play for United.
"If Pogba was offered enough money he would stay" Sigh..
If its about money then there is no better fit for him than PSG.
Lets sell him now and get this over and done with.
Sick to death of this circus

If its about money he will wait his contract out and sign a massive deal with who ever he wants that pays him the most
fecking bin this prima donna once and for all
Why there's no one linking him with Bayern? Surely the idea must have crossed his mind as would be an excellent footballing decision. Raiola wouldn't fancy it as they won't bog down to his demands.
There's no way Bayern wouldn't love to have him too. Easier to fit in that team and play like Thiago did. We get Goretzka plus some cash in return.
What do our resident Bayern fans think? Do you entertain the idea of Pogba playing for Bayern?

It is not about money, he wants out for quite some time now, but Covid happened as well.
£50m is a different story. Let's see how much PSG are willing to pay but I hope the club set a price, whatever that may be, and stick to it.
What's 600k a week for a year? 31 Million?
I'm happy for the club to give him a clause in his contract to boost his salary to 31 million for the year on the proviso that he wins the Ballon D'Or that same year.
No way he should get it just given to him on a platter. He has to work for it.
Optics is a key word in this disagreement. I think winning more gives the team better optics than avoiding some sort of imagined dishonor from letting him run down his contract like many others have recently.
I‘ll add that I’m not in favor of giving him some crazy salary; that’s always been my position. But letting him leave for free isn’t the catastrophe in this modern age that some are making it out to be.
think we'd be better off refraining from posting baseless incendiary stuff like this to be honest
honest question, what is it people have seen of Pogba in the last 5 years that make them think that keeping him will be such a key factor in winning? I struggle to think of another player where expectations and reality are so far apart. He's never demonstrated that he can consistently be the player for United that people want him so desperately to be. We really wouldn't have this discussion if Pogba was actually as good for United as we all hoped when we signed him in 2016. We've tried to make this work for five years, and it just hasn't worked. It happens.
I'd rather take the ~40m and move on.
PSG and Pogba are made for each other, sell and buy a midfielder
Nah I'll post what I want and the mods can deal with it if needed. Don't you worry yourself over it
If that £40M or £50M was for sure going to get reinvested immediately in a manner to improve the squad instead of disappearing into the coffers then I’d be on board.
I‘m not saying he’s going to make or break this season for United. I am just wary of the quality of our midfield and the dearth of ideal options to improve it.
Just because he's not been as good as most of us hoped, it's still difficult to replace someone of his quality. He will no doubt remain an important player for us if he stays for a final year.
Is it worth us using outgoing Pogba then in a swap deal for a player we could do with like Casemiro for CDM or Kroos for CM?
I don't really fancy any of the PSG midfielders though. Not even Verrati after McTominay handed his ass to him in the Champs League.

"The reliably informed Canal Supporters report that French international central midfielder Paul Pogba has turned down a contract extension offer from Manchester United, with his existing deal expiring in June".
"A provisional contract agreement is close between Pogba and PSG, who are actively seeking to acquire the player this summer – Pogba’s priority is to join the Ligue 1 club this summer".
Already they're moving on Herrera. 
Ole prefers to play Fred and McTominay in MF. We're in for a DM because Pogba can't play there. Pogba's only position left is LW. Our Front line is already sorted so it would seem Pogba is surplus in that position.
Sell Pogba to PSG, Jesse to West Ham, and buy Rice.

but that's exactly why I want us to sell Pogba. We need to sell in order to sign more players this summer, and selling Pogba (and Lingard etc) will help fund another midfielder. Now maybe that midfielder is not as good individually as Pogba, but might fit us better. We don't play McFred because they are so awesome, but because they are the best options for the double pivot (playing Pogba is simply not working there). So selling Pogba and buying a good DM give us a better balanced squad.
