Like everything in life, the reasons for this are not so black and white. So, today, we're going to be diving into the curious case of Paul Pogba.

I think what sums Pogba up most was his goal for France against Switzerland in the Euros. Brilliant strike showing how good he can be, followed by attempting 5 different celebration routines as the Swiss ran straight back up the pitch and scored immediately.

The voice, the knowledge AND the looks. This Football Iconic dude has it all!

I could see Pogba having a complete renaissance in his 30s. I can’t remember who it was but I heard an ex-pro talk about how they’d never really trained too hard throughout their 20s, sort of took everything for granted and coasted off their ability and just enjoyed the life, then when they hit 30 they realised it would all come to an end soon and they didn’t want to leave themselves with questions of what might have been so they knuckled down and worked harder then they ever had and enjoyed more success than they ever had, could see Pogba going down a similar road hopefully because the talent he has is undeniable

Playing in the Juventus team and manutd is in itself the biggest difference. In my opinion pogba had all the qualities of an attacking midfielder, playmaker but he was never a holding midfielder. The problem with United is that they are still living in the past. They are still trying to replace Ronaldo Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson, and not looking for anything new. Mourinho tried to change it, and he found success with a domestic and a European trophy. But it was short lived

[HardcoreMexican]

Pogba is one of the most players with the most I reached potential ever and I don’t think it’s necessarily his fault. He plays great for France because like he mentioned in the video he has a destroyer in the midfield that allows him to do whatever he wants while United has never surrounded him with other proper midfielders or even defenders for that matter.

[yenawirahma]

Considering that even Benzema still shine as 34 years old at Real, Pogba still has a chance to shine too, as long as his next decision/club is the one that right for him

[ZeroNingenPlan]

Man, even if the team is actual trash, i want him back at Juve. He was just that iconic.

[joesifa]

Pogba in a French shirt is in my opinion one of the best midfielders in the world. The passing of Kroos, dribbling of Modric and physicality of Casemiro in one player

[martincrowe]

I see Pogba as another Aubameyang: a useful and talented player ground down by being in absolutely the wrong place. A transfer to a club that knows how to use him could reinvigorate his career, and could maybe even be a win-win. (Of course, United are probably a little more dysfunctional than Arsenal at the moment, which is both strange and ... well, funny).

[benghiskahn]

Luxury player who fits best in a three man midfield where the other two are engine type players. As said in the video, he was wonderful at Juventus where he would usually play alongside Marchisio and Vidal who were both top level box-to-box midfielders as the time.

If you put Pogba in a 3 man midfield today with Brozovic and Kante he would be great because their presence would allow him to do more of what he's good at and less of what he's not.

[civildiscourse]

The problem for pog at united is a positional one… he’s best suited to being the most offensive of a 3 but has most often played as part of the double pivot… the only reason he’s expected to play deep is because physically he’s strong but realistically he’s not one for defensive duties

[xman]

He should have never left Juventus that was the best place for him

[matsfuruli]

I know you typically cover the best of the best on this channel, but would you be opposed to doing more of a deep dive into Derby County's atrocious 2007/08 season at some point? I can only speak for myself here, but I think that would be a really interesting one.

Also, a belated congratulations on hitting 100, 000 subs. You deserve it!

[lindelaninzima]

Dude you elaborate your story quite interestingly and captivating too. Thanks man, your channel is the best

[mukeshsaxena]

Xavi was considering signing Pogba. He is a great talent, hopefully he can realise that talent in a stable club under a great manager.

[CalvinIsBadNews]

Yo just found your channel and you are sick! This content is amazing keep up the good work!

[MylesB-]

Great video, subscribed! I'm personally a big fan of Paul Pogba. I think going to United was a huge mistake for him and he's wasted what should have been his prime years at a mess of a football club. If he leaves in the summer and goes to a Real Madrid or a Chelsea then hopefully we'll get to see him thrive as he has all the talent to be one of the best in the world.

[mannytuzo]

If Sir Alex Ferguson says a player is better off away from the club it’s best to listen to him.

[badasstasticusbadass]

Seriously, this channel is the GOAT for Football content and archives, not only from the premier, but also other leagues, you are doing the lord's work!

It is possible for you to let a bit of a spotlight to another iconic player like Kaka in future videos? i oftenly feel that people has forgotten how of a monster that guy was in his prime.

[alexandermishev]

He was totally on fire in Juve and that's because he was being adapted to the team's organization according to his biggest advantages and qualities. That's how usually Juve builds its team. I hope he goes back to Turin one day, would be a decent signing once again.
