the manager said he would be involved today hence the worry
No no no
But Fergie has said in the last days that Pogba will play against Fulham and now he isn't in the squad.
If he isn't injured then i don't understand him........i'm pissed off about it right now
Why? Fergie knows what he's doing, stop questioning him.
Seriously are some of you lot gimps? He isn't going to get ahead of Cleverley and Scholes as our midfield options on the bench. He will have plenty of time if he ever decides to sign the fecking contract one day
OMG this is the first time SAF has said one thing and done another, Pogba must be off!
Or....
Contract signed, job done. He can now go back to the reserves
seriously though he can't expect to be in every squad

Bye Bye Pogba!!!!
But Berba was on the bench.
how do you know he didn't pick up a knock in training? We should probably wait and see
I thought this would be the busiest thread after the game. We shall have to wait until friday I suppose to find out why Pogba wasnt in the squad
Forgive my ignorance? What's on Friday?
Press Conference.
And only if somebody asks a question about him, which isnt guaranteed.
Fergie could be testing him maybe. Now he thinks Pogba is going to sign he doesn't include him in this squad in order to see if his character is up to it. He might fear Pogba was only going to sign because he thought we'd go out of our way to include him in every game, which obviously won't be the case.
Its weird, Fergie actually said on Friday that he would be involved and then leaves him out completely.
I reckon he's playing with him a little, seeing his response to it etc.

It's weird that he was taken off early on the reserve game and got told he would be involved tonight but with all our midfield options coming back there really wasn't any space for him on the bench.
Amos, Smalling, Jones, Cleverley, Scholes, Berbatov, Hernandez is one of the strongest benches that we've been able to field this season, I don't see where Pogba could get in there currently.

fecking Riaola!!!!
I was slightly alarmed that he wasn't included since SAF said he will be involved and he was taken off early in the reserves game. Well, I trust SAF knows what he's doing. Maybe he had a little knock? Don't know, we're all just guessing here.
Even if he was in the squad the lack of news regarding his contract is indicating he's more than likely gone and his agent is just feeding us nonsense.
"Trying to make up his mind"...
Riiiiight.
"Trying to make up his mind"...
Riiiiight.
He's starting for the reserves.
He shouldn't be on the bench over Scholes or Cleverley.
And these constant questions and speculation don't help the situation either so get a grip. As good a prospect as he is, United has lost bigger players than Paul fecking Pogba before. Fergie knows what he's doing and if Pogba has any idea what's good for him and his career, he will stay.
whats wrong with you Macheda, you are still on our payroll.

He won't be next season if we manage to find him a club that will offer us enough money in the Summer, chances are that club will be based in Italy too. He didn't become a hit himself while at Sampdoria though so he should be careful in those judgements, in fact he was pretty awful.

What's wrong with it? He was probably asked if he thought they'd do well if they moved, and as he probably believes both are good players he says "yes". If anything it seems that he's trying to help United sell Berbatov (not that I think Juve will buy a striker based on what Macheda has to say, but you get the point), and the Pogba bit is basically just a "Yeah, he's a good player of course he'd do well in Italy".
He was in the matchday squad wasnt he? That is actually "being involved" in Fergie's vocabulary.

That sounds SOOOOO fake.
No comment would have suffice. i don't think we need him to spread stories about our players leaving to the press, somemore fergie wants to keep pogba.
He's hardly talking about Pogba leaving - he's just saying that he'd do well in Italy if he played there. I'm sure Fergie had said something similar about several of our players in the past.
Or, we have a title to win - which is more important - only seven spots on the bench and not too many injuries at the moment. If you're going to have two midfielders on the bench, Scholes and Cleverley are rightly the two choices.

Juventus convinced battle for Man Utd's Pogba swinging back in their favour
Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Wed, 03/28/2012 - 11:22
Juventus chiefs remain confident of signing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
The 18 year-old Frenchman was mooted to be leaning towards penning a new deal with United, amid reports agent Mino Raiola would be in the country this week for contract talks.
However, Sky Italia says Juve officials are convinced Pogba remains unsettled at Old Trafford and will be joining them.
For Juve, a decision is expected from Pogba in days, not months.

I love a good rumor myself, but I took tribal football off my newsnow feed a long time ago.
just let him go ffs
Why? Do you know something we don't?
For some random reason I had a dream on this whole situation.
Basically I am walking at Carrington with Pogba who is all but ready to sign. Raiola then magically appears telling Pogba that Charlton Athletic have offered twice the money and Pogba's head is turned.
I quickly run to SAF's office where Cristiano is also present to inform him of Pogba's change in heart. They both get up and dash out with Cristiano shouting "fecking Raiola". We finally catch up with Raiola and Pogba. SAF starts giving Raiola the mother of all hairdryers. While Cristiano picks Pogba up on his shoulders and starts flying in the air and starts singing "All the stars are coming out tonight" and says "This is what it feels like to play at Old Trafford".
I woke up at this point with no clue weather this convinces Pogba to stay or not.
Erm...yeah. WTF.
I didn't even eat anything dodgy before bed.
