I hope you are right. This would mean we have more bargaining power than them.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I hope you are right. This would mean we have more bargaining power than them.
It's a mind game. The first side to flinch loses... Or something like that
.Pogba doesn't suit Pep's brand of football at all, why are people now worrying City are in for him?!
No worries mate, just referring to Mourinhos comments.
If Madrid had entered the fray sooner then I would have been worried about them beating us to Pogba. But negotiations are just too far along at this point for that to happen. I would be incredibly surprised if Madrid were able to hijack this deal.
Judging from some of the comments I really do wonder if many have watched Pogba play apart from the Euros. 
Sometimes I have to check if I'm in the right thread when I see some alternatives being mentioned.

I just prefer a Kante style player with a bit of steel. I've yet to see Pogba really take a game by the scruff of the neck. As I said months ago I prefer a Keane style player to a Viera style player. It's just personal preference guys no need to hammer me for it. And yes on the mercenaries front I think us buying him back for 100m + would turn him and he's agent into the ultimate mercenaries. Just don't like him. Can't help it.
They're both midfielders. United are buying a midfielder. He must just prefer the player Kante is than Pogba is.But Kante is nothing like Pogba
Maybe he meant Barca and Madrid were in for and they really were. Its just that they were both priced out.
And how many games has Kante taken by the scruff of the neck? We are talking about addressing what our team needs and we are more in need of a Pogba than a Kante.

I watched the euros. I saw him in the flesh versus Ireland. I understand my suggested preference is for a different type of midfielder and most don't agree. But there you go. I'd even prefer Matuidi!
I actually don't agree. I think our team needs more steel. Pogba doesn't deliver that.
Wow! Dont really know if youre wumming anymore.Don't think it will happen, but I'd quite like to see Matic in the United midfield beside him.
We already have that type of player in Schneiderlin. By targeting Pogba, Jose clearly wants an attacking threat in midfield.
My favourite is that we will try to sign Magic if we miss out on Pogba.
Fair enough. Not wumming. Nope. As I say if he signs I hope ye are all right and I'm proved wrong.
So we are wasting 94 on million Higuain. We would have been way better off just buying Griezmann if we are losing Pogba.
@RDCR07 Pjanic is more a #10 than Pogba.
True. It's clearly Jose's plan. I don't think Schneiderlin is going to work out for us. Hence my preference for Matuidi/Kante type. Attacking wise I think I'd prefer that Portugese youngster.
Pjanic is a lovely player. I'd take him in a heartbeat.
He is more than capable of the deeper lying playmaker position. If Pogba is there I dont Pjanic will be playing a higher role than Pogba.
Stop digging a hole for yourself there, mate. Kante and Pogba are two completely different players! Stop comparing. Matuidi is the most limited player in that French side, and you'd want him over Pogba. Jesus Christ...
He just mishandled the situation that time. Probably trying to show Pogba who was boss by not giving into his demands to play first team football which in the long term was probably designed to further motivate him into showing he was ready. It was a man-management tactic that had worked for Fergie many times in the past but unfortunately on this occasion it backfired.
94mil for Higuan , and people think we are overpaying for Pogba.
, and people think we are overpaying for Pogba.Hernanes played a higher role than Pogba, so yeah Pjanic is more likely to play higher.
Just from an egotistical point of view, what ambitious professional footballer would not like to be the subject of a World Record Transfer and possibly the very first £100 million (sterling) signing??
Pogba just by looking at his hair seems a wee poser, so he has to have a massive ego, so there.

I know they are completely different players. I've already said I would prefer a more combative style player than Pogba. I was asked who my alternative to Pogba is and that's my answer, a completely different style midfielder. I really don't like Pogba.
His hair is one of the reasons I don't like him.
Then you must hate Memphis!
94mil for Higuan
That's an insane fee for Higuain.
He's clearly on a WUM.
Just read the threadmark about Allegri. So is this on or off? Did the meltdown already start?
I fecking hate him yeah.
They obviously haven't. no one would be crying over the price if they had.Judging from some of the comments I really do wonder if many have watched Pogba play apart from the Euros.
Seems legit.
Me? I'm honestly not. If you read the earlier part of the thread I'm on record months ago saying the exact same thing. My opinion on Pogba hasn't changed and won't until I'm proved wrong.
He literally signed a 5 year contract right before the Euros, so there's a 0% chance that you'd be able to buy him.
