Pog had spent quite enough time on Jose's parked bus to be fair to him....
I was a big fan of his but he’s nowhere near as consistent for us as I hoped he would be.
If we can get better (or even a better fit) I’d be happy to see him go. There’s always an excuse as to why he isn’t performing. Ole started playing him further forward and now Ole says he has to change his position to like he plays for France.
Replace him with whom?
You don't let your best players go, and he's comfortably - very comfortably - one of our two best players.
You replace your worst players with better ones. That's the only way to improve your squad.
The same goes for Herrera. I've read all kinds of nonsense on here about how easily replaceable he is. Really? It'd be easy for us to find someone available and affordable who could walk into the side and put in the kind of performances he has most weeks under Ole? Come off it.
No!!
We don't have nearly enough good players to be getting rid of our best. When Ronaldo left we still had 4/5 world class players in the first 11.
Some United fans really do lack appreciation for our better players, they'll be crying once he's tearing it up in another league.

..................
In an ideal world you are right. But we have been down this route before with players connected to Real.
My take, and I said this earlier on another thread, is that if we can get Coutinho type of money, or more, we should take it and be rid.
I don't understand some of our fans at all, They want us to sell one of the best midfielders in the world, Not for me, I would rather we keep him to be honest, He's one of 2 world-class players in our team.
He’s been by far our best player since Ole took over, people seem to see a few average/poor performances and forget just how good he has been for us this year.
Stupid to sell him imo.
If any player wants to go they should go.
“Mourinho had become exasperated by Pogba’s behaviour, including an incident at Burnley in early September when Pogba left Turf Moor in his chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce instead of travelling back to Manchester on the team bus.”
After all, the car was new and His Excellency would like to leave the stadium in his Rolls-Royce.
‘Now how do we deal with this? You (tell him) never go in the Rolls? You can go when I’m happy? Or you solve this thing in another way to get me “on vacation”

I don’t know how much of that is true, but
I see no reason for Mourinho to lie about this. The sort of behaviour that this great club would never allow under the great man. Why should a players Rolls Rolls be parked next to the team bus FFS.

Exactly my point. He way too inconsistent to be considered world class. I feel disgusted, but I have to agree with Souness on this and may be even Gary Neville. He played good 10 games under Ole and then he is back in his shell for last few. I'm very keen to see how he performs from now till end of season.

Complete mockery of team camaraderie. Being named as virus in not as far fetched as it was perceived back then.
Let's replace Pogba, DDG n Herrera and go nowhere why we let the dross continue to hold us back. Great ideas this week on here.
Ultimately fark Mourinho as well, he has received a hefty pay after having a season similar to Moyes
Seems like Ole's first 10 games have made people think all our problems should now be over. Football, sadly, doesn't work like that and there is still a lot of work to do rebuilding the team and getting away from 6 years of issues.
Selling our best outfield player would be a big mistake UNLESS he is desperate to leave, then cash in and rebuild with players who want to play for utd.

I'd believe anyone of our own players over Mourinho.
Regardless, Pogba is now wearing a suit on game day and is traveling on the team bus.

I wouldn’t believe anything Jose OR the players say. We never see any of the truth, just pr sanitised soundbites.
Pogba was using it as a metaphor. Parking a Rolls Royce next to a parked bus speaks volumes.
United have only two quality forward players - pogba and lukaku (Mata as well but age is a factor).
Why let one of them go. This is the kind of stupidity that is rife on these forums.
By all means, 'replace with better' is a good philosophy, but there are two issues related to that
There are about a dozen players that get regular first team chances (too regular) that should all be in front of him to go. And what is out there that is genuinely availible and better anyway.
Just another desperately nonsensical suggestion

What about ddg? Is he a quality player?
Honestly, it feels like he’s mentally left already. Very poor today and over the past few weeks. That great spell in the first two months of ole was a blip in his usual mediocrity.
