The most striking thing about The Pogmentary – except that The Pogumentary would surely be a better title – is that very little of it focuses on the highlights of Paul Pogba’s last six years at Manchester United. “What highlights?”, you might ask. Well actually, there were a few of them along the way, and given this five-part documentary somehow runs for a whole two-and-a-half hours, they certainly had enough room to fit them in.
But there is no mention of winning the EFL Cup and Europa League in his first season back, for example. There is a glimpse of his match-winning Manchester derby performance at the Etihad but that is all. Even the excitement that surrounded his £89m move from Juventus in 2016 is largely glossed over, despite him joining for what at the time was a world-record fee.
