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.

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.
