Pogba: I’m in Manchester and I love my club - Republik Of Mancunia: A Manchester United Blog

Paul Pogba has suffered a poor start to the season, as most Manchester United players have, but has talked openly about the speculation surrounding his future over the past few transfer windows during a press conference from the French national team.

While he sees Real Madrid as a possible future destination, he insists that he is committed to United even though the club hasn’t spoken to him about renewing his current contract.

All football players would love to play for Real Madrid. It is a dream for me, why not one day? I am in Manchester and I love my club. I am playing in Manchester, I’m having fun and I want to do everything to put the club where it deserves it. I will give everything to the max, like my teammates.

No-one has told me anything. I have not spoken to Ed Woodward. We haven’t spoken about a new deal. At the moment, I am in Manchester and I am concentrating about getting back to my best form. I think there will be a moment when the club will come and talk to me and maybe offer me something, or not. So far, nothing has happened. I can’t tell you something that I don’t know.

I would let him go to the fascist club tonight! I am pretty sure he may have plotted something with Zidane and will try to go there on a cheap, unless his mate is sacked.

We are hardly getting anything from him anyway, so I do not think he would be missed too much!

He is hardly committed if he mentions every bloody season what a bid dream of his it is to go to Madrid, and what an honour it would be to play for Zidane..

He's basically saying
“I want to play for Madrid and Zidane, I hope they make an offer for me, and as soon as they do, I'm off”

Lol manutd fans can be so funny. So we now have fans who read people's mind. Pogba has always been the scapegoat from day 1 even before kicking a ball. Our fans wanted a "savior" because of his fee but the boy has never been a savior anywhere. He is not the main man in France team and wasn't the main man in juventus. Same with Maguire. We overpaid for these guys no doubt but they never asked us to over pay to have them.

The ability and performance level of a player has nothing to do with how much we paid to have them. Man city just bought a defender for 63million pounds that doesn't mean the player will solve their defensive issue. Its all a risk.

I know most fans just want to have someone to blame. I want pogba to leave/be sold but surely not because he is in anyway our problem.He doesn't fit the system and since we don't have enough quality in the team, he is also going to be a liability.

Everyone knows he is poor when it comes to defending, yet our almighty OGS have been playing him as just CM. That for me is pure stupidity. He is by far more talented than Bruno who also has been so poor this season, why not play Bruno or VDB in the CM and play Pogba behind the strikers. With that he is free to take risk and less defensive duty

I like Pogba but if/when he wants to leave I think he should be allowed to, though I hope he will stay a bit longer at least. Grealish should be the replacement if/when Pogba does leave IMO. I think they will be valued at about the same - around 50-60 million.

That likely won't happen in January though, so perhaps we could use that window to sign a CB and a CDM/DLP. Go for the cheap and unknown options if needed. More options in those positions would really lift the team and put us in a position to do the finishing touches of the rebuild.

I think Pogba will leave next summer, and we'll get Grealish.. I think VDB and Bruno will be 2 of our starting midfielders, and Grealish can cover them and also for Rashford on the left.. I'd still want another backup creative midfielder though.. sell Pogba and get Grealish plus another midfielder..

What do you think about the Sancho deal? Clickbait papers are already talking about how we will make a move for him next summer, but I doubt it now, I don't think we'll sign him, he will go to a different club next summer.

I think it's maybe 60-40 we won't get him so I wouldn't completely rule it out, it depends on a lot of factors. But personally I'm not so concerned about it since we signed Diallo Traoré.

Regarding Grealish...Yeah many people question why we'd need him when we have Fernandes and VDB and Pogba. But they forget that Pogba will leave, that we should switch towards playing with two CAM:s instead if just one if we want to become a top team again and also that Grealish can also play at LW which we seem to agree on.

Do you have any idea of who that backup creative midfielder should be? Maybe Pellestri? He's talked about like a winger but looks just as much as a 10 to me. I think he's effectively been brought in to be Angel Gomes' replacement in the squad.

Finally...According to rumors Upamecano has a release clause of 38 million and Koopermeiners is available for 20 million. That could be our CB and CDM/DLP right there (just as a suggestion). Still need to offload quite a few players first though.

CR
I really hope we get Upamecano, he's my first choice, but it will be almost impossible if we don't get into the top 4 again this season.. that's why this summer was so disappointing, we lost momentum, and the appalling transfer window completely took the wind out of our sails..
