I compared him to a young player who didn't make the grade here and moved to Italy and gained a good reputation.
I don't think that's entirely unfair.
Pogba didn't make the grade here? Wasn't he 16 when he was at the rags? And then he chose to move to Juve - not that the rags got rid cause he 'didn't make the grade'.
'On 3 July 2012, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson confirmed that Pogba had left the club after not signing a new contract.[50] Ferguson stated that Pogba had signed for Italian club Juventus "a long time ago as far as we're aware." Ferguson also accused Pogba of disrespecting Manchester United, saying, "It is disappointing. I don't think he showed us any respect at all, to be honest"
Pogba 16 when he was at the rags - Savic signed for us at what, 19/20 years old?
There's a 'young' player and there's a young player. One player was playing youth team football and the other trying to force his way in to the first team.
