He won’t be sulking when we unveil our new formation and tactics 6-18-9

Unbeatable. Nobody is getting through that midfield and teams will be petrified of our attacking prowess

I’ve an offer for fellow posting reds.

Im now the sole owner of 3 season tickets and United are launching an electronic ticket option finally. I don’t want to be single, I’ve a tolerant other half but there’s a limit so with friends and family sorted I am likely to have a few games spare. I want o do a few away trips in Europe this season so will have to give up a few weekends.

I’m not going to the what ever the league cup is but there will be one or two chances in the league or champions league for 3 very very good seats together next season. If you think you might fancy a game then you’ll need a membership at United to allow me to transfer the tickets.

Should be able to give a good few weeks notice but if you’ve not been to a before or it’s been a few years let me know if you fancy it.

Face value obvs,
This is where I confess to being one of those London based fans, so might be tough for me, unless I can blag a customer / supplier meeting in the NW at some point.

Generous offer
Always happy to give fellow fans a chance of a ticket. I’ll try and find a photo of the seats.

Offer stands to all, fixtures are out tomorrow.

Leeds Everton, Liverpool, the derby obvs, Burnley and West Ham are spoken for unless some idiot that knows me tries to get married on a match day. But if you’ve a family member that follows a team or you just fancy a trip,to Manchester I’ll post on here the games when I’ve all three spare.
clap

I love Pogba.

Laughing at the idea of not needing any more players because we have Mata (about to be retired), James (should be sold) and Lingard (should be sold). None of those 3 should be anywhere near the team.
I was joking about someone trying to bite into pogba. Suarez stylee...

Pogba played pretty much like he does for us, great in moments, gives the ball away too much, too many show pony tricks, the odd flash of brilliance.
You can't build a team around him until he gets consistent. Don't know if he ever will?

He is consistent; consistently inconsistent, but consistently infuriating. Without the circus hi brings he would be a great player and we’d accept his momentary stupidity, even if it costs us goals. It’s the strutting around and haircuts and arrogance (without being able to truly justify it) that detract from his undoubted ability. I still think both United and France need him to make the team tick though.

He’s one of the best and most effective players in the world. He won that game for France. We are mostly rubbish without him in the side.

All the moaning about him is like complaining that your beautiful heiress wife who adores you doesn’t do the washing up.

It’s time we started appreciating our good players and getting rid of the bad ones. That’s what winners do.

I agree he makes the France team tick, and provides that creativity in midfield. He does the same for United but not as much. I do think there is a couple of reasons for that:

1. International football is played at a much slower pace than prem football allowing you the time and space to dictate play.

2. They have Kante. The best defensive midfielder in the world. That guy covers so much ground and allows Pogba to do what he does best.

The issue I think we all have is Pogbas inconsistent performances. He is not someone you can rely on week in week out to provide a 8/10 performance. Compared to someone like Bruno is like chalk and cheese. Yes Bruno has had off games, but you can hang your hat that he gives 100% each game.

Next season do we sell Pogba and use the money to invest in the squad, or do we offer him a bumper contract and potentially have the same issues we have had for the last 4 years.

I love him as a player, but is he right for us at the moment?

For France the pressure is off as a) already mentioned others do the hard yards, Kante and b) the expectation is lower as everyone is looking at Mbappe, Griezman and Benzena.

For you lot he is the most expensive player and the expectation is on him more. And sometimes he seems to want to do the fancy things but not the hard work

If someone will give United most of their investment back I would bite their hand off!

Someone said it right ages and ages ago, Pogba can be great at football, he doesn't seem to be a great footballer

One of the best mids in the world? Nonsense

I'd happily cash in right now as well if we had an option
