"Who the hell cares just let him leave"- Manchester United fans feel rumors linking 29-year-old with Old Trafford exit is 'great news'
A number of Manchester United fans believe rumors linking French midfielder Paul Pogba with a move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are 'great news' and the best solution for all parties involved.
The 29-year-old's contract with the club is set to expire at the end of the season. Mauricio Pochettino's side have already made an offer to Pogba as per a report from the Manchester Evening News.
Paul Pogba joined Manchester United from Juventus for a then-world-record fee of £89 million. He was widely considered one of the best midfielders in the world prior to his move to Old Trafford but has failed to live up to expectations. The midfielder has been heavily criticized for his inconsistency and off-field antics over the years.
He has endured an up-and-down season, during which he has scored just one goal and provided nine assists in 25 appearances. The France international's reluctance to sign a new contract and his inability to produce goods for the club on a regular basis has left United fans frustrated.
They have welcomed the news that the former Juventus star is close to agreeing a summer move to PSG.
"Who the hell cares just let him leave", said a fan on Twitter.
@ManUtdMEN The first bit of good news that I have read this morning! Good luck psg that’s all I can say!
@ManUtdMEN Great news for all parties concerned
@ManUtdMEN Good, he’s failed twice at United. Injured for a lot of the season and turns up about 5 games when fit
@ManUtdMEN Should have gone years ago
@ManUtdMEN Good riddance
@ManUtdMEN Who the hell cares just let him leave
@ManUtdMEN Who cares! Doesn’t deserve to play ManUtd.
Paul Pogba has scored 39 goals and provided 51 assists in 231 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils. He helped the club win the EFL Cup and the Europa League in his very first season.
