it’s all economies of scale. 4 years is basically the same as 18 months for an averagely fit professional.

Another clown that plenty on here wanted to give another contract too.
Fitting end.
Lots of talent. Obviously brainless. Should always have trusted Fergie’s judgement.
He is appealing
What a waste of talent.
Is he currently doing a documentary? Watching his live reaction to the news and how he plans to overcome this would be perfect degen entertainment.
Love how Juve had to pay him and got practically nothing out of him too.
What a waste of a career
Great talent but always felt he would be a better match for Harlem Glob Trotters than for Man Utd
Will overturn it because that's what they do

Not really.
Even if he would go bankrupt right now with 0$ to his name, an instagram account with 60m+ follower will easily keep him a millionaire for life (if he isn‘t braindead enough to manage this account purely by himself)
He was a talent until he came back to us. He basically retired after he won the the World Cup. Awful awful transfer that initially promised so much. Then going on about how we disrespected him with 300k a week with all his nonsense going on in the background? We have been an absolute shambles. Himself Greenwood Sancho Rashford Martial : the spice boys.
Only one of them was on the spice
Feel bad for him. Career fell apart after the world cup, we played our part in that but also mainly it was his body just not able to take it anymore
Many Men.mp3
Was always more an Instagramer than an actual footballer.
And Jose
Anyone care to dig up any of those Juve fans laughing at us for them nicking him on a free a second time?
I wonder what Graeme Souness thinks about it?
Going out sad
How to waste one's talent
Absolute dope.
No sympathy what so ever for him.
No sympathy what so ever for him.
Calm own Jeppers
One of the biggest 'what if's' in recent football.
His last league title was when he was 23. He is now 30 and won one league cup during that time period. The world cup in 2018 is the only meaningful moment of the past near decade.
You have to be taking the piss to suggest that is not a waste of a career. He may as well have retired aged 25 by your logic. There has to be some relativity to the argument.
Pogba didn't have an arse career, man. Behave.
I do agree it should have been much better. It is what it is.
Whats Souness’ thoughts on this ?
I don't know, with the ability he had, winning the last major trophy of your career at 25 - and on an individual level not being particularly close to any honours or TOTYs after your 26th birthday, is a shame and somewhat of a waste compared with what he could have been. He's had a career most players would only dream of, but realistically it could and should have been so much more.
The joke is probably still on us tbh. We paid £80 million for him and let him leave us for nothing twice, where as losing a player you signed for free (and was mostly injured anyway) is not a huge deal in comparison.
The joke is on us for buying him back, sure. We did the right thing by not offering him an outrageous contract to stay and Juve were daft to offer him a contract to persuade him to join them.
Yeah, if you’re being charitable you can write off his United career as being dragged down at a dysfunctional club but to have had the luxury of walking away on a free contract, at such a relatively young age, should have set him up for an amazing next few years. And look what happened. You won’t often see a player with his reputation achieve so little in his late twenties.
I don't think there is much "what if" with him as he still played at a high level for his entire 20s. Even if Pogba had reached the heights he supposedly should have, I don't think he'd have dragged a dysfunctional United to a league title.
Oh no.
Anyway..
Anyway..
Not really.
Go away pedant
