Man Utd Thread:

Pogba was never a keane or a Vieira type footballer he needs to have workers around him like he does with france. This utd team has too many individuals and the grafters aren't good enough around them. Fred and mctominay it's all last minute tackles and not losing the ball. I don't think pogba isn't trying that's just his game. Italy prob suits him better as he gets more time on the ball. He just didn't work at utd but I think that's as much a fault of utds transfers and his work rate. There are more problems at utd than just pogba. He will leave in the summer. No one would pay the fee for him as the likes of real barca and juve don't have the cash. But they won't hesitate to take a player of his quality for free.

He won't be cheap, even on a free. You'd wonder would he go to Newcastle if he was offered a bundle of money? He seems to lack ambition and drive.

World Cup winner  best Young player at World Cup, multiple title winner lacks ambition. People are strange.

Watch him play. Doesn't give a shite.

Pogba has been at United years now and has had a handful of excellent performances. Just isn't as good as we hoped.

I would suggest quite the opposite, he's clearly too good to be wasting his time playing with Fred and McTominay.

I used to think he was going to be a superstar, but doesn't have all the attributes. If he worked as hard as Fred or McTominay he would have realised his potential.

Have to laugh at this nonsense. The man has won League titles, cups, the WORLD CUP! And all sorts of individual honours.  He has nothing to prove to anyone. It's not his fault Utd couldn't buy a half decent midfield to build around him.

And after the team is built around this one individual, what happens when the individual gets injured or decides to leave the club?  Where does this leave the 'team'.  Never understood the logic of building a team around one individual.

You do that with someone like Ronaldo or Messi in their prime who will score 50 or 60 goals a year. Not some prima donna.

What makes you think he's a prima donna? Are you just buying into the lazy racist punditry favoured by British ex-players?

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Ffs. Another spoofer ruining every thread. Just whats needed

[StPatsAbu]

The contract he was offered gave him prima donna status. Those emojis of him swirling around the hoardings ffs. Someone needs a boot up the hole for agreeing to that

[Saffronaldo]

His contract? As usual, when you scratch beneath the surface of these types of claims, there's little or no substance behind them. It's quite often a cover for innate prejudices which is really sad to see in this day and age.

What does his race have to do with him looking completely disinterested? He's more well known for his haircuts and social media shit than he is for anything he's done on the field.

City havnt scored in last 3 league games v Utd. Utd going defensive with 5 at the back today, will be interesting to see if another clean sheet is on the cards.

Can't see it being anything other than a high press game by City and mistakes will follow, Grealish to draw about twenty fouls once he comes on

I have no idea what his race has to do with it. You'd have to ask those who factor it into their prejudiced views.

As for the other point, I know Pogba as a brilliant footballer with an impressive range of passing. I've never encountered this social media stuff you speak of, strange that you have to such an extent it overshadowed the football. Do you follow him on social media?

[Saffronaldo]

United look like they're missing Pogba's influence here already....

[bennydorano]

United lucky it's only 0-2

You mentioned race, no one else. Brilliant footballer when he can be arsed, total liability when he can't

[Captain Obvious]

Would be 0-0 if they knew on how to defend properly. Bailly scored for Manchester City and the second was worse than an OG, as cardboard cut outs would do better defending than Shaw, Maguire and Degea did for that second goal.

[J70]

I wouldn't be too hard on DeGea. Shocking defending. That ball should not have reached Silva. Shaw totally indecisive too. And the ball came at DeGea from two feet away.

And except for him, it's at least 4-0.
