Paul Pogba hadn’t imagined that. Six years ago, he returned to Manchester United through the front door after shining at Juventus with the aim of helping the Red Devils return to the front of the podium. But the international tricolor failed. What he is aware of. “I’m not happy with the last five seasons, but I’m really not. This year is already dead, we won’t win anything anymore. I want to win trophies, whether it’s with Manchester or with another team.”he confessed in March during an interview with the Figaro†
Under contract until June 30, the Frenchman has to leave the residents of Old Trafford, he who is going through a very complicated season. Less influential and less spirited, the 29-year-old (27 games, 21 starts, 1 goal, 9 assists), who is not playing at his best, has also experienced physical problems. Last November he suffered a hamstring injury. So he was absent for 85 days and he had missed 14 meetings in all competitions. In February he could not really convince.
Is Pogba last at United?
The French even disappointed, he who was the target of the supporters. The latter whistled this weekend during the win over Norwich (3-2). An encounter that may have been his last at Old Trafford. Indeed, the tricolor player was injured again last night in the shock against Liverpool (30th day, 4-0 defeat). Holder, he remained on the ground for only ten minutes before leaving the field limping, he was visibly hit in the calf and was replaced by Jesse Lingard. A terrible night for the resident of Lagny-sur-Marne who probably played his last minutes at Man U with five games left.
After the match Ralf Rangnick said of him: “I don’t think he will be ready for the next two games”† But the press is more concerned. the Manchester Evening News wrote: “He shouldn’t have started against Liverpool and he should never have played for United again”† Same story for UK TV consultant Gary Neville. ‘These could be Paul Pogba’s last minutes in a Manchester United shirt’, the former player dropped. A sad end for the Frenchman, who returned six years ago and is not part of Erik ten Hag’s plans.
