It’s a safe bet that Paul Pogba is living his last weeks at Manchester United. Recruited with great fanfare in 2016 once morest 105 M€ from Juventus, the Frenchman will never have finally silenced all the criticisms once morest him. Too inconstant, annoying sometimes, brilliant too… But it is ultimately the irregularity that prevails when we evoke this balance sheet of almost six seasons. At the end of the contract next June, he represents this contemporary Manchester United quite well: too few trophies (a Europa League and a League Cup) despite millions spent on recruitment and coaching changes.
Mancunian supporters will be the first to notice it. The Pogba seen in England is not at all the same as in the France team. “Already, I agree with this observationrecognizes the person concerned Figaro. It’s the truth.

You have to be honest, that doesn’t satisfy me, over the last five seasons, but really not at all. This year, it’s dead, we won’t win anything yet. Whether it’s with Manchester or at another club, I want to win trophies.”, aims Pogba at six months to defend his title of world champion.
