Not so long ago he was one of the most sought-after footballers on the planet, but today the image of Paul Pogba has changed so much that probably most clubs would avoid him despite his obvious qualities. After his own brother in France accused him of hiring a witch doctor to cast spells on Kylian Mbappé (?!), Donnie van de Beek’s agent also spoke about Pogba’s behaviour – also not in a nice way.Guido Albers primarily criticized the management of Manchester United for having double standards. Which is not such a rare case in the world of sports. There are always privileged ones, because it is believed that they have something that others do not have. The problem is, however, when such an approach starts to affect others. And according to Albers, it was precisely because of United’s treatment of Pogba that his client stagnated at Old Trafford, to put it mildly.##NAJAVA_MECA_6686227##A reminder – Van de Beek arrived in Manchester in the summer of 2020, when Ajax earned paid 40,000,000 euros in compensation. He played 36 games in the first season, but mostly as a reserve. A modest amount of 511 minutes in the Premier League. The following fall, even less time on the pitch and then a loan to Everton, where he was a standard part of the starting eleven until he injured his thigh muscle. But only today Albers reveals what made the Dutchman decide to leave.”I saw the disappointment with the way he was treated at Manchester United… He had to compete with Paul Pogba who turns up late to the training camp, says ‘sorry’ and plays anyway. Not only that but takes the place on the pitch of a guy who trained 10 hours a day for eight weeks to show that he is good enough,” said Albers frustrated in an interview with the Dutch VI.Guido Albers (Former Agent) 🗣️: “I saw the disappointment about the way he was treated by Manchester United, and he saw up close what I did to turn the situation around. But from the day he was not allowed to leave Manchester United again, it was final. #mufc[Voetball Primeur] pic.twitter.com/UmiPNEwU2Z— ً (@VanDeBeekArmy) September 29, 2022 To be frank, the fact that he trained more does not mean that he is a better footballer, but Albers is of course speaking in favor of the 25-year-old Donny.”I underestimated how much not playing would affect him mentally. I should have understood earlier, to see how I could help him… In Holland he was appreciated, he played well and was popular with the fans. He did not play at all in Manchester United. The relationship with the club cooled down very quickly”.This season, Donny van de Beek played 19 minutes for United.
