SAF and Pogba (self.reddevils)

Milesman1971 が 投稿

I couldn't help but notice SAF's conspicuous absence, in body and in spirit, from the Pogba signing. He normally looms so large over proceedings, and given the circumstances under which Pogba left, I'm a bit surprised that he hasn't really been a presence at all. Pogba was not even asked about him during his introductory interview. It's true that Sir Alex was not around for any of our other signings this window, but in this particular case, I would expect at least a question or two about their relationship. Do you suppose the club is simply trying to keep the focus on the new regime and the future or is it possible there is lingering acrimony between the two?

He hasn't for some time now.

Yep, no clue where OP's coming from. Outside of attending matches, has he been seen around the club really at all recently?

Well it would have been a bit unfair to ask him that in the interview, who knows how he really feels towards Sir Alex? Not much point possibly causing tension in the club between the two by asking questions, best to just move on.

Good point. I just assume they would have reviewed the topics of discussion beforehand so there would be no surprises and I would think Pogba would jump at the chance to address the relationship and put that episode behind him. I think more likely the club is just trying to focus on the future and not linger on the past.

Don't think there's anything to be read into it at all. I don't remember him commenting on any of our signings since he retired when we made them. I imagine he doesn't want to be seen as looming over the football side of things, which has been a problem in the past for clubs trying to move on from a long-term manager.

I think this is the likely answer. I was just curious because Pogba actually seems like an intelligent, mature young man, and I would think both he and Sir Alex would welcome the opportunity to show there are no hard feelings, much the way Sir Bobby and Jose were shown chatting on camera when Jose arrived. I'm sure there's nothing in it.

In their own words: the breakdown between SAF and Pogba!
