Oh yes, his game experienced year on year growth and improvement with us. I would have loved for him to be with us during our run to CL final in ‘07 and how he would fit in that double pivot we had at midfield.

Would make absolutely zero sense for them not to sell now if that’s the case.. tbf i’m more inclined to believe UTD might have the option of extending for another year otherwise again it would be extremely bad business from them.

But then again it’s also Raiola involved here so it could very well be all planned out for a bigger sign on fee, agent comission + higher wages for the player if he becomes a free agent next summer.
that’d be epic lol

Would you guys take him back? Lets say free transfer in summer 2022, huge wage + Raiola's commision.
I'd say sure in a heartbeat two years ago, not so much now honestly. Watching Manure fairly regulary (schadenfraude) I only see a shadow of the player Pogba was. Dynamic, brilliantly skilled and exciting to watch mezzala turned into lazy wannabe regista, except he's not that great at playmaking. No hunger, no workrate, no technical brilliance.
Obviously the "talent" he plays with at Manure hinders him, so does the clueless manager, but the attitude is just awful. They paid a world record fee for Pogba at the time, he's on 300k/w on something but Pogba doesn't give a shit about the club obviously. I'd be furious if I were a Manure fan.

He chose to force his way out to go there, to play under a has-been defensive manager like Mourinho... and to spend his time clowning around with Lindgard and others on social media. He doesn’t really have anyone to blame but himself. For free, or super cheap, I’d be fine with him coming back, but definitely not for any substantial fee and not on the massive wages he’ll want.
While I agree that Manure squad is trash, does it excuse Pogba's lack of commitment and interest? They even gave him captain's armband for a while, he had no response on the pitch. I'd take 2013-2015 Paul ahead of any current midfielder, even De Bruyne. 2020 Paul, from what I see, is a problematic primadona with more interest in his brand than his football.
Sure, the senators at Juve could sort him out... or maybe not. I wouldn't take the gamble honestly.

It's hard to say what exactly happened with Pogba at United, and I fully understand how folks aren't happy with his antics, but that side has been a disaster from top to bottom for years, so it's difficult to pin it all on Pogba. He was good for us, good for France, so I see no reason to say he's a hopeless case now.
