Live Bar April 20 News Pogba's departure from the team seems to be a foregone conclusion. The return of 2016, and the current situation, why this supposedly concerted duo dance has become a painful duel, The Athletic wrote an analysis of this.
TA original text:
Pogba's cycle is a series of events that have taken place every season since his return to Manchester United in 2016.
The loop usually starts with a rotation – when the Frenchman has a lot of great performances, his momentum comes to an abrupt halt due to injury or a noticeable downturn in a major game. After this injury or downturn, people began to discuss why he performed so much better in France than at the club.
Halfway through the 18/19 season, the cycle entered a new phase, with Pogba implicitly (though sometimes not so cryptically) suggesting that he might soon be leaving United. The "dance" continues like this.
Even the most patient audience, watching the same bland series every year, is quite frustrating. So after being substituted for the game against Norwich, a section of United fans let the world know they had had enough. They erupted in boos as Pogba came off, telling him with some heated rhetoric that the fans wanted him to leave.
They repeated the process again after the final whistle, prompting Pogba to put his hand over his ears, which drew more negative reaction from fans, who had largely accepted that he was leaving for free this summer – this could be his second departure from Old Trafford.
That's the problem between Pogba and Manchester United: everyone knows that the relationship has failed to work, but few have focused on finding a solution.
Of course, It's hard for Manchester United fans to fall in love with Pogba. Even on his better days, his style of play was one of creative touches and imaginative exuberance rather than overwhelming dominance.
Before France beat Germany in the euro group stage last year, Vieira and Roy Keane debated on tv about why Pogba did better in France than at Manchester United. For Keane, Pogba's problem is focus – it's no different from the theory Mourinho gave after the 2018 World Cup: give Pogba a short bench rotation and his mind back to normal, he can do anything, otherwise he is vulnerable to outside interference.
Vieira: "He (Pogba) is a leader, a key player – so at Manchester United he needs to take responsibility. ”
Keane: "He didn't show it at Manchester United, he didn't show leadership. ”
