Don’t worry. Pogba is a proper leader who as World Cup winner will show the others the way


All talk
Good to see the United players really playing for the new manager and the fans. None of the big players especially Pogba seem bothered. They've sold all the managers short for a while and they'll shaft Solskjaer down the river too. A real lack of integrity and fight

I think it’s simply they aren’t good enough. Lots of effort, just not at the same level as Liv or City.

It's hardly surprising that Pogba has had a quiet game when playing in a midfield that includes Fred and Pereira, he's a one man midfield and no matter how good he is or how much he cares there's only so much he can do.

Has pogba really played that poorly tonight.

I mean he’s got Fred alongside him! I’d envisage they’ve all covered plenty of grass. They simply lack ability.

Pogba has all the ability in the world but zero desire to apply it

SAF wanted him out the club.. his ego was greater than the club.. it’s a massive insult they not only brought him back but paid £100 million to do so

That sums it up - a real lack of quality and any quality they do have shows zero effort when you watch Pogba stroll around the pitch , passenger for most of the match. It was always a bit of false hope they would get something out of the game

Look at the performance at the weekend. How many clear cut chances have they created since the Lingard one? Aside from the first 25 minutes when they controlled the ball how much have they dominated. What has Pogba given them in second half?

The highlighted quote is questioning their effort, the second one has more to do with ability than effort.

Utd offered him a new contract. He refused.

Because he wanted 40k a week or something stupid for a player who had next to no premier league games under his belt

I’ve never seen money blamed. The main reason that goes around are that he chose Juve as Fergie let Scholes take his spot out of retirement. Scholes has even said so on numerous occasions. The rest is pure speculation.

Questioning there desire tonight is just a ridiculous statement,compared to the weekend it’s chalk and cheese.

How you put it comes across as someone who hasn’t a clue,maybe try and put it across better.

The answer is we are individually and collectively are not as good as City

Thought Fernandinho going off would be huge, but Bernardo Silva has slotted into the centre of the park superbly. He really is one of the best players in the league and is unsurprisingly one of the first names on the team-sheet for Pep.
