    He's been excellent under Ole outside of the start of last season just after he got covid. The narratives around his play are ridiculous.

    I do hate how much of a clown he is off the pitch though.

    I agree. Without the injury as well the season could've been different and he does take away pressure from Fernandes.

    We could play him left instead of Rashford at times because his impact was huge at certain points.

    Every time I see there's been a new post on here, I always think what's his agent said now? Quite nice to see he's just got another silly haircut.

    Never really understood the fuss over what players do in their free time. This and Tiktok is cringe inducing, but who cares. It's their life and their free time.

    It's far better than drowning yourself in booze, which is what players from Souness' generation did. That actually harms your body.

    Agreed. Back to 'normal' after a great start to the season.

    He needs to be dropped, he really doesn't help team balance and why persist with a player who's not gonna be here next year?

    **** Pogba and the horse he rode in on, how he got 90 minutes today is beyond me. We'd have been better of with 10 men.

    Pogba hits out at Manchester United’s £300,000-a-week ‘nothing’ offer

    Paul Pogba says he wants to prove Manchester United wrong after claiming their reported £300,000-a-week offer to keep him was “nothing”. The 29-year-old France midfielder is expected to return to Juventus when his United contract expires at the end of this month.

    In an Amazon Prime documentary entitled The Pogumentary, to be released on Friday, Pogba discusses his future with his former agent Mino Raiola, who died in April after living with a serious illness since January.

    Pogba says: “My thought process is to show Manchester that they made a mistake in waiting to give me a contract. And to show other clubs that Manchester had made a mistake in not offering me a contract.”

    As revealed in the documentary, United made two offers to extend Pogba’s stay and Raiola said he had been in talks with Barcelona and Paris St Germain. Pogba is filmed asking Raiola whether United had made a second offer in July 2021.

    Raiola replies: “Yes. They absolutely want you to stay. For me, the offer doesn’t reflect that. I told them: ‘If you want him to stay, don’t make that offer.’ I will make them understand that if they really want you to stay and they want to build a project around you, this time they have to act differently and put the money on the table.”

    Pogba says: “They’re bluffing. How can you tell a player you absolutely want him and offer him nothing? Never seen that.”

    Pogba, who first arrived at Old Trafford from Le Havre as a 16-year-old in 2009, was allowed to leave United on a free transfer and join Juventus in 2012. He won four Serie A titles with Juve before returning to United for a then world record £89m in August 2016 and reached his peak when helping France lift the World Cup at Russia 2018.

    Pogba was rarely at his best for United and in one clip from the documentary Raiola tells him: “We must try to make you feel as good as when you are with the French national team. You’re different with them. You understand? You’re another Pogba with the Manchester United team. It’s not normal.

    “With the France team, you’re the real Pogba, the Pogba of Juventus, the Pogba that everyone loves. With Manchester, there’s something blocking you.”

    Keep talking Pogba, the more you say the happier I am you're no longer a blight on United.

    He and Lingard were overrated BIG TOSSERS and I am glad Pogba has been caught out, all he and Lingard were interested in is disco dancing on the pitch and after-match entertainment, enough said and good riddance.

    He's not been officially declared guilty yet, so early days to be labelling him anything in particular regarding drug use. :shrug

    I couldn't really dislike him any more than I do anyway . . .

    Confused why you'd even take test in a footballing context.
    Obviously strength and performance increase is good, but most (anecdotal I know) friends I know from the gym who use it get gassed after a minor bit of cardio and it's taxing on your system. I feel like the cons would almost be in line with the pros unless we're talking lower level almost TRT level boost.
    And it's not like he's got a build hard to achieve naturally

    Weird one.. feel like if you were gonna risk getting caught you'd be on something more beneficial for endurance athletes
