    Funny how we keep hearing the same thing over and over from his teammates. All he ever wanted at United was to be in a team that could compete for the highest honors and the club failed him there for most of his time since he came back.
    If he leaves, he leaves: we'll deal with it just as we have when other major players left. But I still hold out a bit of hope that he'll change his mind, especially if he can be a part in us finishing the season strong.

    He just wants a massive contract extension. He will revert to his inconsistency later

    Bordering on being inevitable right now, which is only good stuff for the team and their aspirations for this season.

    Three of his five biggest clients (Haaland, Pogba, Donnarumma) could all be in play this summer - so maybe trying to wind his neck in a bit?

    Would be over the moon about this, if it were legit: been very clear recently (if there was any doubt left) of how essential Pogba is to us.
    At this point though, will believe it when it's been officially announced...

    Nothing would surprise me. I've felt since Ole was able to integrate him into the team in multiple positions and get the best out of him and our midfield, there was a better chance of him staying but I still think that if the right opportunity came around, he'll be gone.

    Meet the real Pogba: the teetotal polyglot who helps unite the United dressing room.

    Meet the real Paul Pogba: The teetotal polyglot who helps unite the Manchester United dressing room (telegraph.co.uk)

    Going to be a stressful summer in regards to him alone. Have to hope that something can be worked out and he'll decide to sign a new contract with us. He's such a great presence to have around, not just on the pitch but clearly off it also.
    Definitely feels touch and go though at this time, and it's only exacerbated by the fact that Pogs (and Raiola) hold most of the cards. Let's hope our leadership can impress him, not just in terms of a new contract for him, but in doing enough to show him that he'll be in a team that is able to compete in some way for the coming years.
    When it's all said and done, we'll move on as a club regardless: would rather it be with him, than without though...

    I think any short-term deflection Mou enjoyed from his Ole comments has rebounded with interest :)

    The spotlight is being well and truly shined by the press back on his management style and relationship with players given Spurs situation.

    Mou should just retire after he gets boot from Levy, his style of management will never work.

    He's done. I don't mind Pogba having a dig at Mourinho, as I've never come around to him in any capacity. The only reason I am kind of sad to see his star fade is because it's yet another indication that the old guard of football that I grew up watching is well and truly out the door.
