It seemed like a dream come true for Manchester United fans. Proof that the invitation from the Theater of Dreams is not something you rejected. It was a confirmation that Man United are still a financial giant that could set aside 105 million euros and finalize the most expensive transfer in the history of football at that moment.Paul Pogba was supposed to be a symbol of United’s renaissance.However…OFFICIAL: Manchester United confirm Paul Pogba will leave the club as a free agent for the second time pic.twitter.com/3YnSRh4PXU— B/R Football (@brfootball) June 1, 2022 After five years, Pogba leaves with two trophies in his resume, both from the mandate of Jose Mourinho on the bench of the Red Devils and with Zlatan Ibrahimovic upfront. None of these trophies, however, are great enough to satisfy the ambitions of one of the biggest clubs on the planet. The Europa League, which was only a shortcut to the Champions League for United, and the League Cup, less important of the two not so important domestic competitions for such large clubs. Both in the first season of Pogba’s second term at United.Fri 21:45: (1.75) France (3.60) Denmark (5.60)After that, four ‘dry’ seasons. There were good performances and dominant matches, but much more controversy, speculation about clan wars in the dressing room, lack of commitment of the biggest stars, strange hairstyles and everything that would be quickly eliminated in Sir Alex Ferguson’s golden era.Paul Pogba officially left Manchester United after five years. After all, we can say: the status of the most expensive player in the history of football was not justified. And the fact that in the meantime he ‘fell’ to only the eighth place cannot serve him as an alibi. More was expected, much more.Once a Red, always a Red 🔴Thank you for your service, @PaulPogba 👏#MUFC— Manchester United (@ManUtd) June 1, 2022 Pogba can obviously only play where he is happy. In the French national team with which he conquered the planet in the same period. Or at Juventus with whom he was once superior in Italy. And will he return to Turin, as he did after his first departure from Old Trafford? We will see about that, because there will certainly be other interested parties, given that he is a free agent.He is still a good player, the only question is whether he can play for the biggest clubs. Even Manchester United admitted in a statement on the website that Pogba said goodbye to the red shirt in a low-key farewell.”But for a boy that joined the Academy at 16 to make over 200 United appearances and lift the Youth Cup, along with two major pieces of silverware – not to mention the World Cup at international level – is something that should be applauded and celebrated.”With courteous words of gratitude, we can’t help but see the parting ways – with the once most expensive football player in the world – as quite cold. A proof that the price is not always proportional to the quality.38 – Since re-joining the club in August 2016, Paul Pogba created more chances (231) and provided more assists (38) in the Premier League than any other Manchester United player in this period.
