He doesn't know how to respect, and doesn't understand what it means to be Manchester United's coach. This is a blasphemy against Manchester United's glory! Look at his willful appearance, he has no discipline on the court, and always acts according to his own temper. Does he think he is the boss of the team? It's ridiculous!"
Wayne Rooney, a striker known for his calmness and wisdom, could not hide his anger at this moment.

How can such a player become the core of the team?"
Gary Neville, his eyes burning Furious, he spoke fiercely and mercilessly: "Pogba's behavior is a betrayal of the spirit of Manchester United. He must pay for his recklessness and irresponsibility. Who does he think he is? This is Manchester United, and he can't be so presumptuous! His attitude in training is extremely improper, and he always perfunctorily does things. How can such a casual style lead the team forward?"
Giggs, the elegant winger, was also full of solemnity and disappointment at this moment. He sighed and said slowly: "Pogba has disappointed everyone.
