Paul Pogba’s parting with the Manchester United fans has been less than amicable, but his recent comments deserve some consideration.
The Frenchman’s performances towards the end of his six-year second stint lacked vigour and enthusiasm. The buck stops with the player on the pitch, ultimately, and putting in anything less than 100 per cent is not acceptable.
Fans noticed this and towards the end of the season they showed their displeasure with the 29-year-old. In reaction to expletive shouts at the end of the 3-2 April win over Norwich, he cupped his ears to supporters - a visible picture of the player-supporter divide that had been present for a while.
