Fans are convinced that Manchester United may have hindered Paul Pogba’s career, particularly after a compilation of his days at Juventus gained significant attention on social media.
Pogba initially joined the Red Devils for a then-world record transfer fee of £89 million, following an outstanding season with Juventus where he notched eight goals and provided 12 assists in 35 appearances.
However, upon returning to Manchester United, Pogba encountered challenges in maintaining a consistent level of form and eventually made a move back to Juventus after six seasons in the Premier League.
Despite displaying moments of brilliance during his time at Old Trafford, Pogba is often perceived as having fallen short of the high expectations placed upon him.
Fans are now suggesting that Manchester United may bear some responsibility for his perceived underachievement, particularly after viewing a compilation of his performances at Juventus, which has gone viral on Twitter.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “His worst decision was to join Manchester United!”
“Should be sitting with all time greats he had everything,” another added.
“Manchester United robbed us of an all-time great,” a third chimed in.
“If only he joined Madrid,” a fourth exclaimed.
“If this guy went to Madrid instead of United he would have attained the same footballing legacy as the likes of Zidane”, another remarked.
“This man was meant for Real Madrid, he was never supposed to go to that dammed club Man U that ruined his career,” another reply read.
While a final fan wrote: “His decision for not joining Real Madrid ruined his career. One who had the potential to reach the very top. I remember he was the top 5 in Balon D’or rankings before his move to Yanited. That dead club ruined his career with mediocre coaches and players around him.”
And things have only got worse for Pogba after he was suspended by Italy’s national anti-doping tribunal for returning an adverse sample.
Speaking on the matter, Pogba’s representative, Rafaela Pimenta toldSky Sports News: “We are waiting for the counter analysis and until then we can’t say anything.
“The certain thing is that Paul Pogba never wanted to break the rules.”
