I think he's had grief for poor performances. It's easy to say he's been good this season after a performance like today, but he hasn't been this good consistently.

No. He's still had performances where he's been absolutley anonymous. And not just a few either. We're talking fifty percent. We need a drastic improvement next year

If he turned up more often like he did today then he will be a huge asset to Utd

He's been criticised unfairly most of the season.

Watch this video to see how many opportunities he's made for the team.

Absolute sitters!

He should have around 30 assists.

He creates, he wasn't brought in to score goals.

It's not just on this board he gets grief from everywhere , mainly people who don't understand football and think because a player cost 90 mill he should be scoring 40+ goals a season. He still needs to up his game though but he's been nowhere near as bad as made out.

He's understandably scrutinised because of the price tag. And he isn't a £90m player tbf. But we are a better team with him than without him, there is no doubt about that.

For his price tag, wage, and ability when he's good his contribution should be much more than we've received this season.

I don't care what he cost it's Irrelvant to me. He just needs to up his consistency because when he's on song he's our best and most exciting player. Need to build the team around him.

Just read this on twitter

Fact: Pogba has completed more passes (1726) than any player in the league & created more chances (53) than any midfielder in the league.

also more passing in the opposition half than any player in the league

I thought je was poor today...well perhaps poor is harsh, was was OK. However he came with a big reputation perhaps not justified but for his pricetag, you'd expect a lot better.

It's interesting that he's been so poor in many games this season that when he has an OK game like today people call it a good game.

No doubt in my mind he will become a great player for you but will never be worth the money. That kind of money should be reserved for match winners. It could buy nearly any player in the world.

When he's on song he's still not our best player. Does he have that potential? Without a doubt.

I think the guy needs to do more, however i watched some of the chances he created yesterday- our forwards including Ibra at that have been wasteful

People should forget the fee

We didn't pay that much because he's a £90 million player

We paid that much to get a very talented midfielder off a Euro rival.

He'll never need to repay the £90 million with £90 million performances. He just needs to keep improving with us and become a top midfielder which I'm sure he will

I actually think Pogba gets a pass from a lot of people strictly based off his huge fee

I would've agreed with this had we paid 80 million. 90 million quid he needs to do soooo much more. Like I have said, forwards have not helped, however he has been disappointing thus far.

Why does the extra £10 million change things?

I would have agreed with that if he was 88.9m. Anything above that he indeed needs to do so much more.

Some of the stats mask bigger flaws such as Pogba's poor decision-making and - at times- abysmal shooting.

However, today's performance reminded me of his potential, which is immense. Pogba can do things lots of other plays can't (I'm not referring to his dabbing skills). While it seems crazy to be talking about 'potential' in a player that cost 90 mill, we live in crazy times. I still think we need a top defensive-minded midfielder to play alongside Pogba, but I was still very encouraged with what I saw from him today.

Some ridiculous passes in there, really does show he should have many more assists to his name, he must be frustrated at times.

Could've still done more, however.
