It’s easy to say sell Pogba and being honest I’m in that camp due to the circus that comes with him. However, he is an immense player and makes the team tick when he’s on it. When he’s not on it, the team has struggled to tick. Will we be able to find someone else who can fill that role? I know Bruno is the poster boy, but I think he needs Pogba around him to really show what he can do.
As said above, he's the girlfriend you can't let go for the 1% of the time you're sticking your finger in her and can't stand her he other 99%. You can't predict when Pogba is going to sulk and he's super expensive. That breeds resentment amongst other members of the team. Not worth it at any price.
If the manager wants to make a decision and has to think "how will Pogba react?", you have a problem.
Fergie knew how to deal with players like that; "yes [insert team here] we accept your offer".

fk me...Pogba has an off game (mostly because he was played out of position) and he's back to being average and we should sell
We need a top class number 6 to sit in the middle of the pitch so Pogba can play on the left of a midfield 3 as it's where his best position is. It's well known that the other players love him and he's a huge presence and influence in the team. We have to keep him as we're much worse off without him.
Ideal team for me would be:
Henderson (jury is still out)
AWB Maguire Bailly Shaw
Bruno Rice Pogba
Sancho Cavani/Greenwood Rashford

All fair comments.OGS clearly “threw” the Leicester game in order to go full strength against us.
Whilst that was frustrating for us (if you had beaten Leicester we would be in a much better place) that’s not your concern.
I can totally understand it from a Manchester United managers perspective as our game is huge and rotating might have attracted huge fan criticism if you lost.
Strange then that you were so poor, though it made for an entertaining game and you looked dangerous in the last 20 when OGS went for the goal.
Made for an entertaining game for the neutral though
One win against Fulham or wolves guarantees 2nd place. Considering the start of the season how we were and the relentless media campaign against OGS at the time to get 2nd and into a final is very acceptable.
If we win it would be a cherry on the cake moment, lose and no doubt the knives will be out. He's done enough for another season or two and to get summer backing on players for me regardless.
We are so close to cracking a good setup with another top quality signing which would give us a season or two then to plan longer term to replace Cavani or use in-house players.

I watched Never Give In last night.
It was a really good insight to what a man Sir Alex really is. Loved it.
Hoping to see that too. What a tremendous coaching record not just at Utd.It was a really good insight to what a man Sir Alex really is. Loved it.
As he said yesterday in an interview though, it's changed these days that the players have so much power. He really was the end of an era.
With Pogba its less that he's not any good its the variation
If a solid no frills DM would guarantee that 8/10 games PP has a decent game I'd be all for it, I just don't know how much of it is him having to defend and how much it is him just not being arsed
Martial has all the talent in the world but seemingly has a similar issue, it concerns me that we end up relying on PP being on it and he decides to have a season off
