Paul Pogba to depart United this summer (Manchester United)

The following season, he was granted a first-team debut under Sir Alex Ferguson, in a 3-0 League Cup win away at Leeds United.

But managerial changes – with Mourinho departing to be replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – resulted in a period of instability for the team. A torturous second half seemed imminent, but Pogba scored twice in quick succession to level the scores and silence the City crowd. The Frenchman made just 27 appearances under Solskjaer and the Norwegian's replacement, interim manager Ralf Rangnick, and the last of his 233 United games ended in the 10th minute of a defeat at Anfield in April 2022, with Pogba forced to leave the field due to another unfortunate knock.

The Swede scored twice and, at full-time, Mourinho singled out both Zlatan and Paul as United's outstanding players. And the team's upward trajectory continued in 2020/21, where two memorable stunners from Pogba – at Turf Moor and Craven Cottage – propelled United to the top of the table in January 2021.

Paul Pogba Leaves Man United for a Second Time (Sports Illustrated)

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Paul Pogba joined Manchester United for a world-record fee. He'll leave the English club for nothing.

He made his return in 2016, when Jose Mourinho was manager, for a fee of around 105 million euros ($116 million) and to much fanfare amid a series of glitzy videos. His final game for United proved to be the 4-1 loss at Liverpool in April, when he hobbled off injured early in the first half. Pogba made 226 appearances, scoring 39 goals, in six injury-affected years in his second spell at United. During that time, he won the World Cup with France in 2018 but his performances for United never quite matched those for his national team, with United managers unable to find his best role.

Paul Pogba to part ways with United when contract expires (Business Day)

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of June, the Premier League side said on Wednesday.

He last played for United in April. Pogba made 27 appearances in all competitions for United last season as they finished sixth in the league and missed out on a Champions League berth. Pogba’s arrival was meant to signal a new era at United — a club that was struggling to qualify for the Champions League, let alone be considered title contenders — but he was unable to deliver consistency despite winning the League Cup and Europa League in his first season.

Paul Pogba exits Manchester United after the £93m coup that never ... (The Guardian)

Midfielder's failure to dazzle owed much to those around him and he was the undeserving poster boy for a mismanaged club.

As was selection in the 2018-19 Professional Footballers’ Association team of the year (Pogba scored 13 times – a division-high for a midfielder): he was the only footballer not of City, the title winners, or Liverpool, who finished second, voted by his peers for inclusion. The more Pogba was viewed as the saviour the more he seemed to disappoint. The strike against Ajax in the 2-0 Europa League final victory was a highlight. Pogba came to view United as no longer a “big club” that could win the title or any trophy – the last had been the 2017 Europa League, in which Pogba scored in the final. Instead, Pogba was maligned, seemingly for sporting a range of different-coloured haircuts and offering an endearing perma-smile. “He can show me and the team and the fans and everyone in England what high level he can play.” The Frenchman was the £93.2m (then) British record signing billed as a coup for United when he joined in summer 2016. Pogba was supposed to end this; but this was always a pipe dream. In a flatlining post-Sir Alex Ferguson era United were desperate for a totem footballer who might single-handedly yank teammates up to the level required. Place Pogba in City’s side and he would have De Bruyne, Silva, Rodri, Phil Foden, Kyle Walker, Rúben Dias et al alongside and there would be less focus on him, and he would shine more. No one in a United dugout seemed to know. Pogba certainly did not bomb but he failed to dazzle consistently like, say, Kevin De Bruyne or Bernardo Silva for Manchester City.

The Athletic report that while Paul Pogba considered Manchester City's proposal, the player was unsurprisingly conscious of the media furore that would be triggered by crossing the Manchester divide, and more importantly according to Laurie Whitwell, after the player's home was burgled in March he felt a change of scenery was required. This is according to the information of The Athletic, who report that Pep Guardiola personally met Paul Pogba to discuss a move to Manchester City, with the Catalan coach explaining to the World Cup winner exactly why he wanted him to join his side this summer. While Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips is now understood to be Manchester City's primary transfer target in the position, one such name that was under consideration in recent weeks was Manchester United's Paul Pogba, with a meeting reportedly having taken place between Pep Guardiola and the Frenchman to discuss a possible move.

Manchester United have now confirmed the Frenchman will be departing Old Trafford upon the expiry of his contract in June with Juventus now ahead of Paris Saint-Germain in the race for his services.

Paul Pogba, an inconsistent footballer who had to leave an ... (Football365.com)

Paul Pogba is leaving Manchester United again, a player whose biggest flaw became too visible at a club that couldn't afford inconsistency.

But they have barely ever been able to achieve the consistency of Manchester City and/or Liverpool in recent years and, more worrying, the end of the season saw that gap looking bigger than ever and still expanding. Like several other Manchester United signings in recent years, it felt as though the signing was the point, that a broader strategy could wait while everyone cowered in the glare of such a vast amount of money. Manchester United have only been able to achieve the top level in fits and starts these last few years. The return of Pogba to Manchester United was a flex. But as this latest spell with the club ends as unhappily as the first, was Paul Pogba ever really ‘a Red’, and how did the coming together of one of the biggest clubs on the planet and a player so lavishly talented that he’s capable of bending the course of a game to his will end up working out for neither party? And if he was as successful as they assumed he would be, why would he even want to leave on a free transfer at the end of this contract?
