I was referring to the wage as stagnated to highlight larger earners on far more concerning contracts. His whole return has been handled horrendously, this end makes not selling years ago even worse. He’s the first of many cogs.

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.
Couldn’t agree more. Ronaldo is our only proven winner!
But that is what I mean give him a contract for 2 years and get rid of others first then sell him next summer. Either way if he goes it’s no loss but we need a big overhaul in CM
He won't sign. It is his last big contract. He would want to maximize his salary. We already pay him close to 300k. And he has missed around 81 games in 5 years to injury. It is bound to get worse.
Yes, but I'll not hold my breath.
Possibly the biggest luxury player of all time. Alright if you have the French national team to carry him. You’ll probably enjoy a few nice dinks over the defence. Not very good otherwise.
Please, for the love of God just feck off already.
Apart from the numerous haircuts....
That was a delight.
Never knowing what new and crazy style he's going to bring to the pitch...
Man i'm gonna miss that.
I had a mate that is a big Liverpool fan and he summed up Pogba best.
He is the player you sign as the last piece to a already great side and he will make them better but will not make an average side good
Offer him a new contract on reduced money, only a few teams can afford what he is on now anyway, see does he want to go psg, don't think any of the Spanish teams paying up,
No he wouldn't, he'll make every top team worse. Guaranteed if he played for City or Liverpool they'll be worse with Pogba in their team. He's a talented train wreck of player, who's either too arrogant or lacks intelligence to follow instructions/tactics.
The fact that he's still here despite him and his agent slagging off the club for the last 3 years highlights what a shambles of a club United has become.
Juve and PSG don't guarantee anything really. Juve can't even guarantee domestic trophies anymore.
Things better move quickly then. I wonder who is authorized to broker the deal on behalf of the unknown owner. No doubt Pogba will know where he'll end up by then.
Fee or not, it is a multi-million pound deal.
Any way you slice it its a multi-million pound obligation. I doubt this would be allowed.
A contract isn't 'given', it is an agreement between two parties. No fit good player would agree a two year contract at his age, they would go elsewhere.
What’s this nonsense I heard on SSN tonight that Pogba’s waiting to hear who the new manager is before deciding his future. Is he that cocky and we are that weak as a club to dish out another huge contract if he says, “I’ll stay actually as I like the sound of this new manager “. Joke!
I hate it when scousers are right but yeah, he is.
Pogba and Martial were in some of the best form they’ve shown for us in Jose’s final months…. He probably would’ve been sacked earlier if they’d ‘stopped playing for him’.
Yep, found it both arrogant yet quite amusing.
Paul, they don't need to prove themselves to you, pal. You need to prove yourself to them.
The sooner players with a similar attitude go the better for us in the long term.
Same, I wish the club took a harder stance on such cases, because it has nought to do with the new manager.
On french media today, when asked if his form is poorer in club compared to the NT, he acknowledged that it is but he knows his role for NT. But doesn't know if he has a role at United. So the presenters were debating if it's his fault or not, which was hilarious...
The guy is inconsistent and uncommitted but expects to be given a role.
Couldn’t agree more, I really think once Pogba has gone this player arrogance and self entitlement within this team may dissipate, I’d be genuinely gutted if he ended up staying, for me he represents everything that is wrong with this club right now.
No way he would do that. This could be his last huge long term pay day.
I am done with Pogba, but I also have 0 confidence on our current midfield (McFred).
We will need to spend big this summer to buy at least 2 new midfielders.

If you were ever in doubt just how toxic the United fanbase has become this is the thread to go into.
Agreed, he is noticeably slower. He should probably go back to Italy and play out his last years, I don’t think he will play beyond 32/33.
Because the club don't buy players to unlock him mate. What a useless club, won't even buy another player to unleash potential for the most expensive club signing ever.
white text
It is on par with the state of the club. The players decide pretty much everything. The board is just interested in handing out huge contracts with silly money. Pretty sure come summer, we will only be running behind players who cost silly fees and wages.
Toxic players and toxic fanbase.
Pogba was a significant part of the problem
Then again replace Pogba with any other player and this particular stance doesn't seem that arrogant. It's terrible PR for sure but in reality, if I know among my possibilities, there is a contract extension with my current club and there will be a new manager, of course I'd wanna know who it'd be and his plans.
Cant wait till he leaves finally. I hope board wont be mad to give him a huge salary if he will be up for it.
Can he though? The fact he keeps on he's not deciding until the summer, waiting to see who is the new manager etc. If someone had offered what he wants he would have already signed a pre contract and would be bragging about it.
"...At Manchester United do I really have a role? I ask the question but I don't really have an answer".
With his talent he should have been able to establish himself in any role or position he liked. That he failed to do so is primarily down to him. Like most of us, I'm sorry it didn't work out, but I think it's best that he moves on at the end of the season. The most important thing now is that United move on.

I’m glad that he is leaving and hope the club are not stupid enough to meet his demands, or even renew at the same wage. I’m fed up with this guy, he has one good game in ten or more games. He is also injury prone. Get rid of him and never buy a player who has that fat cnut for an agent.
Absolute myth.
What a massive disappointment this guy was. All that talent, but none of the mentality and desire to be successful in this game. Basically culminated in nothing more than a few purple patches throughout his entire career here. I actually thought he might have been the biggest mistake SAF made, but no... Should never have doubted the GOAT.
Not commenting on his mental health except to say it can happen and impact anyone so I hope he is better
As for his blame game - any fingers pointing back at himself or does he expect the world to revolve around him? He had 5 years to establish himself and club bent over backwards at times to play him in all kinds of position that may work and he hardly claimed any of them. It sounds like he was unhelpful in the decision making process if he was asking himself the question

Correct.
I can't wait for him to leave.
When a player deliberately invites pressure from opposition players, just so that he can show how strong he is in brushing them off, you're onto a loser.
A style over substance footballer.

I like how you confidently call something an absolute myth when most of the pundits and the footballing world in general accepts this. He is either injured or plays like crap. Come back from injury, has a great game or two, then fades back to being mediocre. Rinse and repeat.
Except for the one spell he had after Jose left, he has been this way in his entire tenure at United. Inconsistent to the bone.
I'm glad i'm not the only one who sees this - I said the same thing about 2 years back.. Even if we ignore the fact that he thinks defending is beneath him and Jogs around the pitch putting in the barest shadow of effort. The fact that when he gets the ball he purposely holds on to it as long as possible to invite pressure. It's like he thinks he's so good that he says "i'll decide when i pass the ball, i'm not going to let you dictate it to me"
