SAF played Cristiano as a teenager though...
bojan kirkic tore his acl.
kid can never catch a break
I understand and it's a very good point but then again I don't think asking for a chance to prove yourself is that big of a demand but I'm big on playing young players to see what they got, whether its soccer, b-ball, whatever...Funny thing is I always hear some United fans go "no player is bigger than the club" when it comes to Pogba...as if he's the wrong one in the situation. Not referring to this thread, just comments from some I talk to.
However, there is no point living in the past.
Too many people forget that Pogba was just a teenager. Sure the straw that broke the camels back was when SAF played some cup match and played two players out of position instead of him.
But the truth is, he was just a teenager that showed A LOT of promise, and there have been plenty of youth players that have shown a lot of promise that never reached Pogba's level. He could have easily not reached the level that he plays at today.
Imagine if SAF gave into Pogba's demands, and how the can of worms that could have opened because other youth players that showed promise (who have no guarantee of playing at Pogba's level) start to make demands.
In the situation, SAF made the right move, unfortunately in this game, you win some you lose some....
Oh I here the same stupid thing. A bunch of ManU fans I know, blame Progba for leaving. Saying Fergie did the right thing by letting him go.
read gundogans was nothing but bruised thigh muscle.. fit for leverkusen^ That's too bad...
Any word on how bad Strootman's knee injury is or Gundogan's latest injury?

A couple games couldn't have hurt tho, he had to be showing something special in practice at United because the minute Juventus played him some games he hit the ground running and ended up in the starting XI, on a team that has more than enough world class midfielders.
Like MSG said, it wouldn't have been a big deal.
I genuinely believe that no player should be stomping his feet and voicing his opinion that he should be in the starting XI. That's the managers & coaches job. The players job is to make the best of their minutes, and impress in practice. No player should be calling the shots/making demands, especially if they're not Ronaldo/Messi level.
Pogba was a great talent, and could have been fantastic right now, but SAF made a decision, and as it's been said here before, it's not like he didn't win trophies when Pogba left.

Could have been winning them now tho..
I think both Pogba & Fergie showed a lot of arrogance from what I read, but Pogba was a kid.
It was fun while it lasted.
Sure, a lot of arrogance. Can you blame them? One was a kid, and the other was the most successful manager in English (probably in the world) football.
The problem with the Pogba situation is that you're judging it from hindsight. Hindsight is always 20/20. Easy to say "could have been winning", but who knows, Pogba very well could have turned into a Bojan.

There is no ****** way Pogba would have turned into Bojan, stop.
My issue is Fergie never gave him a shot, so Fergie never really figured him out. That's a problem. Forget about hindsight, if he knew Pogba was about to leave, why the hell not just give him a chance to see if he's worth it? Play him in position in a FA cup game or one of those other English cups they like to play so much.
I'll tell you one thing tho, if Pogba stayed United never would have spent the money on those ridiculous signings of Mata & Fellanini
