Wouldn’t sell him for any price this summer.If he has another average season,then Barcelona/Real/Juventus won’t be interested in him next summer....If he has a great season and if he still wants to join Barca,then we sell him for 150 million quid next summer.We can reinvest that money to sign whoever the manager wants....But wouldn’t consider selling him for any price this summer...
What would be an acceptable offer for Pogba?
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date

Dembele + Rakitic + 100m would be hard to turn down.
Unless it's a ridiculous offer then wouldn't even think about it.

Hand this man a beer for telling it just as it is.....
I do realise that probably a lot of the options we'd like in return might not fancy joining United at the present time, but that's not really the question, it's more what people would find acceptable. Which varies quite significantly, though most seem to at least want 150m + and of course at this super sensitive stage, players included in a deal would be quite necessary.
If we do end up giving him a new contract, I'd hope that we curb any pay off to Raiola. We'd probably extend the contract for a year or two but it might make sense to include a release clause that's quite high but not bonkers either. So when Raiola starts doing the rounds we could simply state that the player has a release clause any club is free to trigger. That could be 200-220m. Which is betting against market inflation.

If they want him this window when we are unlikely to replace him, then it would have to be for utterly stupid money. It would have to break the world record again in my opinion, because it royally fecks us over going in to this season when things are already a bit bleak around the club, it seems.
Otherwise, if they can wait until next summer, somewhere around what Coutinho went for.
Getting Dembele coming the other way would also help, since we need a RW probably a bit more than a CM. I doubt they, or he, would be up for that though. Getting players in return is a risk if they're not really up for it. You just end up with another player who doesn't want to be here, and likely demotivated by being the makeweight for another player.

Pogba doesn't only bring ability, but along with Messi and Ronaldo, he's the face of the footballing world. People love him. Sponsors love him. He makes a lot of money for, not only them, but United too.
So you wouldn't be just buying a player, you're buying a franchise. If a team wants him, then they have to have that in mind.
I wouldn't sell Pogba for anything less than 150M.
Cannot believe we're in this situation, though.
Jose talking his usual nonsense about football heritage. Buying his own players and making them unhappy. Absolutely ridiculous!

Whatever matches or exceeds his potential commercial worth over the next three years of his contract, plus a valuation of his exit transfer fee in three years time.
How long left on his contract?
Until 2021 with a 1 year option, so 2022.
Barcelona can't afford him if it's what you're asking. Not so much the transfer fee but what'd he'd cost in annual salary. That's where they're really hurting.
Nothing less than 200m
One of the best in his position and commercially is a brand.

I'd take Dembele, Rakatic and the 89m we paid for him.
Well 3 years left then 110m.
how much is his buy out clause?
Chelsea has just payed 80 million for a keeper I have never heard of (might be my fault for not watching La Liga).
So, rough estimate; 800 million?

4 considering that we can exercise that option for an another year without player's blessing.
I wouldnt sell him at all. He's been made the face of the club since he came back and him wanting out of the 'Great Manchester Utd' does not look good imo.
Would take a trade of rakitic and dembele for Pogba in a heartbeat tbh. Rakitic would probably be far better then what Pogba has shown in the last 2 seasons, while we'd get a long term replacement on right wing and a proper winger with pace and quality.
In terms of just fee, it's hard to say because you know we wouldn't reinvest it properly, but maybe similar to Coutinho. Also hard to say because the form hes shown for United and what we think/hope he can reach is drastically different. Coutinho showed far more in the premier league then Pogba did and had that consistency the last year at Liverpool, while Pogba is the epitome of inconsistency.

We should never make a deal with Barcelona until they stop being so cynical. What they offered already telling they have zero respect for Manchester United or anyone else whatsoever.
Unplug the fax machine and wait for some change of attitude because this is not even worthy of seconds of your attention.

how can you even post this call for open mindedness with such a clear interpretation of mourinho.Yeah, my skewed opinion of his agent shared by Alex Ferguson and loads within football.
Pogba absolutely did not shine throughout the World Cup. He was widely criticised in group games, the first half of the final and had 3 good to excellent games.
Only a weak person would Blame style of play for dreadful performances. We could play 8-1-1 and that doesn’t excuse blasting random passes over the far touchline and not showing up against weak opposition, or strong opposition for that matter,
You haven’t been watching man united for two years of you think Pogba has shown an ounce of anything to value him over any manager- even if it was moyes or basil fawlty. Roy Keane wasn’t allowed to run the club, Paul Pogba who left us once already (at his agents insistence) absolutely shouldn’t.
Pretty much.
The Best acceptable offer for Pogba right now would be. A LB, a CB, a RW, and a Little Magician up Front
Every offer should be rejected. He is our star player and the team needs to be built around his strenghts. What if he is sold now and goes on to have his prime years away from us after the effort made to get him back ?
If they truly truly truly want Pogba, send us their new boys Malcom and Arthur. Seems like a fair trade...

Say what...he's our star player? Which games are you thinking about?
Sandro, Toby, Mahrez (after convincing him that Money > Pep) and Fekir was a window we could have achieved. Then sell Pogba quickly and buy Savic or two good midfielders with the money, or keep him if its' too late and only sell next summer. It isn't even that difficult, yet here we are with zero impact signings apart from Fred and having to deal with that cnut Raiola.
I'd sell him to real in exchange for Modric, Varane and Asensio.
Apparently he wants the same wage as Sanchez. I'm getting sick of these greedy footballers. £180,000 per week must be a real struggle.
Would be stupid to sell him this season. Coming off a WC victory, if he puts in a good season for United, his value will only go up. Could see him being a 200m player next year. Besides, we need to replace him with a good player, not panic buy someone on deadline day. You never know though, Jose could be sacked this season, we bring in another manager who plays attacking football, and Pogba settles down with a new contract.
In fairness to Pogs he's only been here 5 mins and his performances stand out...oh wait....
We really need Sanchez to put in a great season so we can at least point to the bar and say....match that and we'll talk.
Because Pogs add's so much to our attacks.....he'd be better suited to a team who plays like they don't give a shit in the CL against Sevilla.
Messi and we pay them 50mil.
Selling Pogba would mean we've given up on ever competing with City because our only other outfield player who can be considered world class is almost 30. I simply cannot see us selling him under any circumstances.
I kinda guessed there would be someone knocking on the door when I read how much Sanchez was getting. This always makes for trouble in a club, especially for what we got from Sanchez last season, 2 goals.
Southampton debut, Leicester Home 16-17, Fenerbahce Home and City last season. He was incredible in those.
I can't believe people actually believe Pogba is worth or a better player than Coutinho.
4 games. He's just had 4 good games in the space of a month.
Well, it's up to Mourinho to find out how to make him do for us what he does for France, it would be wrong to give up after just two seasons...
I wouldn't even consider selling at 250m. Selling him now basically means we've already given up in this season.
The board obviously might disagree but don't see Barcelona offering us anywhere near that much

I think 150m Euros would be a good deal.
Get rid of the greedy bastard. Not like he’s been brilliant for United is it? He’s got some nerve as far as I can see.
