I agree with all of this. This move is entirely about money. If ManU had finished top 3 this past season and was in CL, they might be an attractive destination outside money... But playing Europa League, missing CL 2 of the past 3 seasons now.... The premier league in general underperforming in Europe for 4-5 years now... Mourinho teams falling apart at both Madrid and Chelsea. There's very little reason for a world class player like Pogba to move there aside from money. Of course, the league is still the richest league, and has 4 CL spots, so it's not like moving to China...
I'll be disappointed, but I see it laying the foundations for another 5 years of outright dominance in Italy and making us a perennial CL semi finalist or better, dependent upon luck with draws. I think this is coming whether we sell Pogba or not.
I'll be surprised if he leaves this summer and takes that at least temporary step back in his career, competitively speaking, but the amount of money being talked about makes it pretty damn tempting for both player and club.
To be honest, I just want this bloody Mercato to be over, one way or the other.
