MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Paul Pogba joined Manchester United for a world-record fee. He'll leave the English club for nothing.

He made his return in 2016, when Jose Mourinho was manager, for a fee of around 105 million euros ($116 million) and to much fanfare amid a series of glitzy videos. His final game for United proved to be the 4-1 loss at Liverpool in April, when he hobbled off injured early in the first half. Pogba made 226 appearances, scoring 39 goals, in six injury-affected years in his second spell at United. During that time, he won the World Cup with France in 2018 but his performances for United never quite matched those for his national team, with United managers unable to find his best role.

Midfielder's failure to dazzle owed much to those around him and he was the undeserving poster boy for a mismanaged club.

As was selection in the 2018-19 Professional Footballers’ Association team of the year (Pogba scored 13 times – a division-high for a midfielder): he was the only footballer not of City, the title winners, or Liverpool, who finished second, voted by his peers for inclusion. The more Pogba was viewed as the saviour the more he seemed to disappoint. The strike against Ajax in the 2-0 Europa League final victory was a highlight. Pogba came to view United as no longer a “big club” that could win the title or any trophy – the last had been the 2017 Europa League, in which Pogba scored in the final. Instead, Pogba was maligned, seemingly for sporting a range of different-coloured haircuts and offering an endearing perma-smile. “He can show me and the team and the fans and everyone in England what high level he can play.” The Frenchman was the £93.2m (then) British record signing billed as a coup for United when he joined in summer 2016. Pogba was supposed to end this; but this was always a pipe dream. In a flatlining post-Sir Alex Ferguson era United were desperate for a totem footballer who might single-handedly yank teammates up to the level required. Place Pogba in City’s side and he would have De Bruyne, Silva, Rodri, Phil Foden, Kyle Walker, Rúben Dias et al alongside and there would be less focus on him, and he would shine more. No one in a United dugout seemed to know. Pogba certainly did not bomb but he failed to dazzle consistently like, say, Kevin De Bruyne or Bernardo Silva for Manchester City.

The Athletic report that while Paul Pogba considered Manchester City's proposal, the player was unsurprisingly conscious of the media furore that would be triggered by crossing the Manchester divide, and more importantly according to Laurie Whitwell, after the player's home was burgled in March he felt a change of scenery was required. This is according to the information of The Athletic, who report that Pep Guardiola personally met Paul Pogba to discuss a move to Manchester City, with the Catalan coach explaining to the World Cup winner exactly why he wanted him to join his side this summer. While Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips is now understood to be Manchester City's primary transfer target in the position, one such name that was under consideration in recent weeks was Manchester United's Paul Pogba, with a meeting reportedly having taken place between Pep Guardiola and the Frenchman to discuss a possible move.

Even in February, there was a feeling Pogba might want to sign fresh terms if United got to the Champions League final. His talent was renowned and appreciated, so there was often a feeling of unfulfillment that he could not drive the team to success. The player had permission to travel and had played on through pain for several weeks of that campaign, though. Pogba lobbied Ronaldo to be more constructive with feedback for younger players, such as when Jadon Sancho failed to square the ball when through against Brighton in February. He even pushed on as a false nine in the derby at the Etihad. Pogba adored Turin when he was there from 2012 to 2016 and had a good bond with the fans and Max Allegri, the manager for that 2015 run to European club football’s biggest stage who is now in charge again after a two-year break. On Instagram four days later, Pogba posted to say the future was “far” and he remained “1000%” involved in United’s team. In the Europa League final though, Pogba caused confusion by insisting on coming off before the penalty shootout against Villarreal. Limping slightly, he did not feel equipped to take a kick and Solskjaer had to shuffle his substitutions. It seems a trick of the mind now that Pogba began last season in electric form, with seven assists in his first four matches. The same person that decided Paul is not the second captain anymore is the same person that decided Paul was the second captain — myself.” Pogba had stood in for club captain Antonio Valencia on three occasions that season and, while he was not officially next in line, that had become the assumption. Mbappe is a good friend of Pogba’s in the France squad, thus heightening the appeal for him returning to their hometown.
