Released on injury last night during the shock against Liverpool, Paul Pogba may have played his last match in the jersey of Manchester United. A terrible end for the Frenchy.
Paul Pogba did not imagine that. Six years ago, he returned through the front door to Manchester United after shining at Juventus with the aim of helping the Red Devils return to the front of the stage. But the international tricolor failed. What he is aware of. “I’m not happy with the last five seasons, but I really am 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 Frenchy should leave the residents of Old Trafford, he who is living a very complicated season. Less influential and less in spirit, the 29-year-old player (27 matches, 21 starts, 1 goal, 9 assists), who is not playing at his best level, has also experienced physical glitches. Last November, he suffered a hamstring injury. He had thus been absent 85 days and he had missed 14 matches in all competitions. Back in February, he did not really convince.
Pogba’s last at United?
The French even disappointed, he who was the target of the supporters. The latter whistled this weekend during the victory against Norwich (3-2). A meeting which was perhaps his last at Old Trafford. Indeed, the tricolor player was injured again last night during the shock against Liverpool (30th day, 4-0 defeat). Holder, he remained only ten minutes on the ground before leaving the field limping, he who was visibly hit in the calf and who was replaced by Jesse Lingard. A terrible evening for the native of Lagny-sur-Marne who probably played his last minutes at Man U with five games left to play.
After the game, Ralf Rangnick said of him: “I don’t think he will be ready for the next two matches”. But the press is more worried. the Manchester Evening News wrote : “He shouldn’t have started against Liverpool and he should never play for United again”. Same story for Gary Neville, consultant on English TV. ‘This could be Paul Pogba’s last minutes in a Manchester United shirt’, dropped the former player. A sad end for the Frenchman, who returned six years ago and who is not part of Erik ten Hag’s plans.
