He's been back 5 seasons? really?
Well this is his 5th back. So technically 4 and a bit seasons. Four and a bit... fucking hell, time flies when we’re having so much fun

Just shows how unremarkable his return has been bar a few bits scattered about

Not sure I've disliked a player of ours this much before. At least Rooney was superb for us for a time. This guy is an absolute cunt. Hope he gets injured again so Ole can't play him, do us all a fucking favour. Mine has gone past that now. I just literally have given up giving a shit with him. I like Lingard more than this drip. At least Lingard has a genuine love for the club.

Hes had one really good half season after Ole took over, that has been it with exception of the game against City at the Etihad and perhaps one or two other games. I'm under no illusion either that when he does leave he'll smash it elsewhere. But he won't do it here so I no longer care. He may have world class potential but he is nowhere near a world class player.

The sooner he fucks off so we can be rid of his fan boys, and play Donny, the better

Amazing passer when he has acres of space in front of him, but otherwise, he rarely tackles effectively, he gets caught out of position far too often and doesn't have the pace to recover, he also has ridiculously low stamina for a sportsman, he plays like he smokes 40 cigs a day. Furthermore he doesn't appear to have any level of football IQ either. He's been a failure as far as I'm concerned.
I would really like to see a Donny/Fernandes/Fred midfield. Midfielders that can raise our temp. We are just far too slow in midfield when playing from the back and we give the opposition far too much time to reset defensively.

We don’t need players who flirt with other clubs. Especially when these players contribute nothing when they play.

It’s amazing how little any of us really care. It# a true sign of him never realising his talent.

Tbh, Pogba can leave if we have a willing buyer. 5 seasons is a lot.

Winning the WC with France should of helped but instead has elevated his ego and emboldened him. Or maybe I'm equally as delusional and he was never that good to begin with.

For me the biggest thing in his 'courting' of R. Madrid is does he honestly believe that he's shown enough here in the last 4 years to even be on their radar? What a muppet!

James Ducker getting stuck in...with a deserved pop at Ole too...
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should not indulge Paul Pogba any longer By James Ducker, Northern Football Correspondent It was just so desultory. To even call it a half-hearted challenge would be overselling it. As Ben Davies cut inside Aaron Wan-Bissaka, there was something entirely defeatist about the way Paul Pogba just fell at the feet of the Tottenham defender and an almost apathetic look crossed referee Anthony Taylor’s face as he pointed to the penalty spot, one that seemed to say: ‘Really, Paul? Really?’ The penalty Pogba conceded against West Ham three months earlier, when he stuck his hands in the air to protect his face as a free-kick whistled towards him rather than take one for the team, made for risible viewing but the Tottenham penalty, in many ways, felt even worse, even more unprofessional.
If we are looking for examples to illustrate where Pogba and Manchester United now find themselves, those two incidents are as instructive as anything. They do little to dispel the belief among a growing number of match going supporters that Pogba checked out mentally at Old Trafford some time ago. It has felt like a loveless marriage for much too long and such opinions will only have hardened in the days after that spineless 6-1 surrender to Spurs when Pogba had the nerve to start fluttering his eyelashes once again at Real Madrid.
“All football players would love to play for Real Madrid,” Pogba said last week on international duty with France. “It is a dream for me, why not one day?”
The responses from United fans to Pogba’s latest courtship of Real spoke volumes. “We have something in common Paul,” wrote Ian Stirling, of the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust. “It’s my dream for you to play for Real Madrid too.”
Many United supporters, appalled at the money that has gone out to service the Glazers’ ownership structure, tune out when the club start citing the financial impact of the coronavirus crisis and it is similar when Pogba talks about his allegiance to the cause. Amid another brazen come-and-get-me plea to Real, there were platitudes about “loving” United and “giving everything to the max” for the club but such remarks no longer wash when the evidence on the pitch does not support it and the starker reality is he has been looking for an exit for the best part of two years.
The question, for now at least, is what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does about it because the manager can no longer keep tip-toeing around the Pogba issue and indulge the Frenchman in the way he has. What exactly does he offer these days but his attacking contribution from deep is negligible and, defensively, he is indisciplined and sometimes a liability.
It was very clear after the defeat to Crystal Palace and most fortuitous win at Brighton that United’s midfield needed reconfiguring and the defence protecting and that accommodating Pogba and Bruno Fernandes was not working but Solskjaer persisted with the same set-up against Spurs and paid a heavy price. He then compounded his initial mistake by removing Fernandes and not Pogba at half-time.
Solskjaer certainly needs to demonstrate some backbone with his team selection against Newcastle and, if he is strong, Pogba will not start. He has kicked that can down the road long enough.

We’ve triggered the one year extension in his contract. This at least means we can get a few quid for him next summer.
