Saat Pogba Bikin Bingung Penumpang Kereta

Manchester - Paul Pogba memang bermain di salah satu klub terbesar di dunia, Manchester United, juga memenangi Piala Dunia. Namun, Pogba tidak berarti dikenal oleh semua orang.

Cerita menggelitik ini diawali ketika sepasang suami-istri asal Australia, Lewis dan Roslyn Patrick, memperhatikan sekelompok anak muda yang berisik karena sedang bermain Uno di suatu gerbong kereta. Rupanya mereka bukanlah anak muda biasa. Mereka adalah skuat Manchester United.

Sadar dengan pandangan dari orang lain, Pogba kemudian mendatangi mereka untuk meminta maaf atas kegaduhan yang ditimbulkan. Dia dengan percaya diri menawarkan untuk berfoto bersama.

"Tidak, tidak, tidak," kata ucap Pogba. "Saya bertanya apakah Anda ingin berfoto dengan saya, pak?"

Lewis dan Roslyn bingung, tapi terlalu sopan untuk bertanya kepada pemuda Prancis itu. Mereka akhirnya setuju-setuju saja.

Kisah ini dibagikan oleh Nate Patrick, seorang komentator e-sport asal Australia, di media sosial yang menjadi viral. Lewis dan Roslyn adalah orang tua kandungnya yang sedang mengunjungi Manchester.

"Pemuda-pemuda itu tahu mereka berisik, jadi mereka mendatangi ibu dan ayahku, dan minta maaf, dan mereka bertanya apakah mereka ingin berfoto bersama," tulis Nate.

"Orang asing itu melihat dengan aneh ke arah ayahku, dan bilang (dengan dialek Prancis), 'Tidak, tidak, tidak, saya bertanya apakah Anda ingin berfoto dengan saya, pak?'

"Ayahku melihat ke arah ibuku seperti merasa siapa sih orang ini? Tapi juga ayahku sangat sopan, dan mau-mau saja diajak berfoto."

Setelah insiden ini, pasangan itu mengirim beberapa pesan WhatsApp di grup obrolan keluarganya sebelum mengirim foto dan bertanya: "Nathan, kamu kenal orang ini tidak?"

Sontak saja, Nate kaget setengah mati karena ayah dan ibunya berfoto dengan Pogba, serta Nemanja Matic. Nate kemudian merespons dengan huruf kapital seluruhnya: "Orang yang merangkul ayah itu Paul Pogba, pesepakbola termahal di dunia, dan pemenang Piala Dunia bersama Prancis."

Cuitan Nate soal pertemuan kedua orang tuanya dengan Pogba sudah dibagikan ribuan kali di Twitter. Situasi ini membuat para warganet yang membacanya merasa terhibur.

"Ini benar-benar lucu! Aku tidak bisa berhenti tertawa," tulis salah satu warganet yang merespons cuitan Nate. Demikian diwartakan Standard.

Paul Pogba wants new Manchester United contract after sacking of Jose Mourinho as he eyes increase on current £290,000-a-week deal

* Paul Pogba tried to push through a transfer to Barcelona during the summer
* Midfielder now wants to stay at Old Trafford after Jose Mourinho was sacked
* Pogba is ready to discuss a new contract worth more than £290,000 a week
* Frenchman has been in superb form since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge

Paul Pogba is ready to commit his future to Manchester United by signing a new long-term contract worth more than £290,000 a week.

The Frenchman pushed for a move to Barcelona last summer after falling out with Jose Mourinho, but he now wants to stay at Old Trafford after the Portuguese was sacked and replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

And according to The Sun, Pogba wants to sit down with United chiefs and agree improved terms despite having two and a half years left on his current deal.

The 25-year-old has been in excellent form since Solskjaer took charge on an interim basis, scoring five goals to help the former United striker to seven straight wins.

Pogba had become disillusioned with life at the club after a series of disagreements with Mourinho over the last year. He also had the vice captaincy taken off him by the former Chelsea boss in late September.

But following Mourinho's sacking in December, Pogba has turned his form around and now sees a future for himself at United.

The former Juventus star is currently the Red Devils' second-highest earner behind Alexis Sanchez, who earns up to £500,000 a week at Old Trafford.

However, Pogba would expect a sizeable increase on his £290,000-a-week pay packet in order to put him closer to the Chilean's incredible contract.

A source told The Sun: 'Pogba's agent is ready to end the problems he has had with the club over the last few months.

'He wasn't over much towards the end of last year. There was a big breakdown of relationships while Mourinho was in charge.'

'He is a leader': Paul Pogba tipped as captain material by Manchester United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised Paul Pogba's leadership and character
* Solskjaer revealed Pogba could be in line to captain Manchester United in future
* Pogba has been hugely impressive since Solskjaer was named caretaker boss
* Antonio Valencia is United's club captain but has struggled with fitness issues

Paul Pogba was told by Jose Mourinho that he was not fit to captain Manchester United - but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sees the midfielder as a leader and would have no hesitation in handing him the armband.

The high of helping France to lift the World Cup over the summer was followed by a maddening few months at Old Trafford, where the 25-year-old grew unsettled as tension built with the manager.

Things seemed to come to a head in September as Mourinho told 'second captain' Pogba he would not skipper United again in the build-up to the Carabao Cup defeat to Derby, with remarkable footage emerging the following day of a heated training-ground conversation between the pair.

Their relationship never recovered and the midfielder was not even getting minutes by the end of the Portuguese's reign, never mind the armband.

But Pogba has been reborn under Solskjaer and has displayed leadership qualities, with video showing him geeing up team-mates before the Boxing Day win against Huddersfield - the second in their current run of seven straight wins in all competitions under the caretaker boss.

Asked if Pogba would be in contention to captain the side moving forwards, his former reserve team boss said: 'Definitely, yeah, because I know the boy from before and he is a leader.

'He's a character, he influences people and you've seen the videos from France, and he cares and he really wants to be successful.


Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes that Manchester United's Paul Pogba is captain material. Pogba has been hugely impressive for United since the appointment of Solskjaer. Solskjaer praised Pogba's personality and character ahead of the game against Arsenal

'He knows he can't do it by himself. It's a team game and he's a character that brings so many good things with him when he's enjoying himself, I have to say.

'You see the personality. He'd love playing football, he's a larger-than-life character, that's just the way he is.

'When the performances come as well, that marries together as a good leader and you see what it meant to him winning the World Cup in what France broadcast. So, for me, yes, he's captain material.'

Solskjaer listed captains from his playing days, varying from Eric Cantona leading by example to the intensity of Roy Keane, and vocal nature of Gary Neville to the respect shown towards Ryan Giggs.

'We've had some iconic captains here with Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson, so personalities... big personalities,' the United boss said.

'I think that's important, that you're not afraid of standing in front of your team-mates and putting them in their place if you have to.

And I have to be fair to Ash [Ashley Young], who's now our skipper, he's maybe one of the last old-school ones, he sounds like Rio (Ferdinand) and Gary and all them.'

The caretaker manager's comment about Ashley Young raised eyebrows given he had been vocal in his support of Antonio Valencia earlier in the month.

'Ashley's wearing the armband, yes, because Antonio's struggled with fitness as well, in and out,' Solskjaer explained.

'But Antonio's still the club captain, but Ash is wearing the armband when he's playing.

'I've never been a fan of 'you're this and you're that'. Once in a while it's to give, say David (De Gea) was captain one of these games when Ash didn't play.

'So, there's 11 captains out there really, it doesn't really bother me.

'I was captain for Norway, and quite a few times for United but I still don't tell my kids I was captain of Man United or Norway, but once in a while you are.'

Valencia was not spotted in the squad heading to Arsenal on Friday night in the FA Cup fourth round, nor was star goalkeeper De Gea.

Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Marouane Fellaini are out of the clash against a side that Solskjaer was involved in plenty of battles with during what was a 'special rivalry'.

'And then you see Patrick (Vieira) and Roy do a TV programme together!' the former striker said with a laugh.

'There were some fights in the tunnels and on the pitch, it was just everything that I loved about football, that passion. That famous one, where John O'Shea scored, was it 4-2?

'There was a nice little fight before the game but that is part of the game. That is what makes it so interesting for the fans as well. Let's make sure it's a good game of football.

Kalau Tinggalkan MU, Pogba Hanya akan ke Madrid atau Barcelona
Novitasari Dewi Salusi - detikSport



Elche - Kakak Paul Pogba, Florentin Pogba, menyebut tak banyak klub yang bisa dituju adiknya jika meninggalkan Manchester United. Kalau pergi dari MU, Pogba cuma punya dua opsi.

Pogba masih terikat kontrak dengan MU sampai 2021. Ini merupakan periode kedua Pogba di MU. Sebelumnya, dia gabung akademi pada 2009 dan hengkang pada 2012 untuk gabung Juventus.

Soal masa depan Pogba, Florentin menyebut ada tiga klub yang menurutnya pantas untuk Pogba yaitu Manchester City, Barcelona, dan Real Madrid. Namun, karena City adalah rival sekota MU, Pogba disebutnya bakal lebih mungkin ke Spanyol.

"Ketika adik saya meninggalkan Manchester United, hanya ada tiga klub yang bisa dia tuju untuk peningkatan: City, Real Madrid, atau Barca," ujar Florentin kepada AS.

"Dia tidak akan ke City, jadi dia akan datang ke Spanyol: ke Barca atau Madrid," lanjutnya.

Sebelum kembali ke MU, Pogba sebenarnya berpeluang gabung Barca atau Madrid. Namun kala itu Pogba sudah mantap untuk kembali ke Old Trafford.

"Ketika di Juventus, dia bisa saja ke Barcelona, tapi dia bertekad kembali ke Manchester United, di mana dia gagal pada awalnya. Juga ada pergerakan (ke Madrid) ketika (Zinedine) Zidane menjabat sebagai pelatih, tapi hatinya sudah mantap kembali ke Inggris," kata Florentin.

'Pogba lost total respect for Mourinho' - Scholes sees Man Utd star showing true colours under Solskjaer



The former Red Devils midfielder is pleased to see a World Cup winner playing to his potential having been among his harshest critics in the past

Paul Pogba “lost total respect” for Jose Mourinho, says Paul Scholes, with the Manchester United midfielder now “playing with his brain” and delivering the goods under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

A difficult opening to the 2018-19 campaign saw questions asked of the form and future of the France international.

His strained relationship with Mourinho sparked transfer talk as he was dropped from the starting XI and stuck on the bench.

Scholes is pleased to see the 25-year-old playing to his full potential, with the Red Devils legend having been among his harshest critics in the past.

The ex-United star told Radio 5 Live of Solskjaer’s ability to bring the best out of an enigmatic former Juventus playmaker: “It’s difficult. Obviously that’s what Ole has done.

“I’m not sure that [Massimiliano] Allegri at Juventus would have had that kind of attitude with him.

“I think it’s just down to the player. I’ve been one of his biggest critics and I hated doing it, but the reason I was doing it is because I've played alongside the lad.

“I’ve seen over the years what a talent this player is. For the first part of this season and probably last year he was playing for himself.

“I think he lost total respect for the manager, which I don’t agree with totally.

“Now he’s playing with his brain and he’s using the quality he has. You’ve seen the last 8-10 games what a player he is and what a player he can be.”

Since Solskjaer took the reins at Old Trafford, Pogba has delivered six goals and four assists.

United will be looking for him to make a telling contribution again on Sunday when they make the trip to Leicester.

Dulu Pogba Ingin Hengkang, Kini Bahagia di MU
Okdwitya Karina Sari - detikSport



Paris - Kakak Paul Pogba, Mathias, tidak menyangkal bahwa adiknya sempat ingin meninggalkan Manchester United. Namun, Pogba kini sudah jauh lebih bahagia di klub.

Sejak awal musim, Pogba cukup santer digosipkan akan hengkang karena tidak akur dengan Jose Mourinho, yang ketika itu masih melatih MU. Gelandang Prancis itu dikaitkan dengan kepindahan ke Barcelona, Real Madrid, atau bahkan kembali ke Juventus.

Hanya lima gol dan empat assist yang diciptakan Pogba dalam 20 penampilan di bawah Mourinho pada musim ini. Namun, setelah Pogba dikembalikan ke tim inti MU oleh Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, performanya meningkat drastis.

Pesepakbola berusia 25 tahun itu sudah menorehkan enam gol dan lima assist dalam sembilan pertandingan (!) Mathias merasa si manajer interim tahu betul bagaimana memaksimalkan Pogba.

"Banyak hal tidak berjalan bagus di bawah Mourinho," Mathias mengatakan kepada Telefoot, yang dikutip ESPNFC. "Sekarang Solskjaer sudah memberi dia kunci kepada tim, jadi bisa dikatakan, hal-hal dimulai lagi. Itulah yang dibutuhkan adikku."

"Sudah pasti hal itu [pergi] terpikirkan. Tapi sekarang dia berada di tempatnya. Saat itu dia masih terikat kontrak, dan bagaimanapun dia harus terus diam, bertahan dengan situasinya, dan tetap bekerja."

"Mengingat Solskjaer pernah melatih Paul di tim reserve, dia tahu betul apa yang harus dikatakan dan bagaimana mengatakannya kepada Paul. Dan ketika Anda memberi adikku tanggung jawab, Anda hanya akan melihat yang terbaik dari dia," kata Mathias meyakinkan.

Pogba, Pemimpin MU di Dalam dan Luar Lapangan

Manchester - Di balik performa gemilang Manchester United belakangan ini, ada sosok Paul Pogba. Gelandang Prancis itu diharapkan bisa terus memimpin Setan Merah.

MU belum terkalahkan di 10 laga terakhir, dengan rincian mengemas sembilan kemenangan dan sekali imbang sejak ditangani Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Pogba menjadi pemain paling kinclong di balik penampilan itu.

Pogba mencetak 6 gol dan 5 assist dalam 8 pertandingan yang ia mainkan. Hal itu membuat Pogba dinilai mampu menjadi pemimpin Setan Merah, baik di dalam dan luar lapangan.

Striker Anthony Martial, yang baru meneken kontrak anyar sampai 2024, mengaku Pogba juga bisa melecut semangat rekan-rekannya di ruang ganti. Ia pun berharap gelandang berusia 25 tahun itu bisa membawa tim meraih kesuksesan.

"Kita semua tahu kualitas Paul, Paul tetaplah Paul. Sekarang dia punya kebebasan untuk bermain, saya pikir kami mulai melihat permainan Pogba yang sebenarnya dan mari berharap agar hal itu terus berlanjut," ucap Martial di Sky Sports.

"Dia pemimpin, dia banyak bicara di ruang ganti ketimbang di lapangan. Secara teknik dan kata-katanya, dia adalah pemimpin keduanya. Saya harap dia bisa terus memimpin kami meraih hal hebat," katanya.

Performa gemilang membuat MU mendekati empat besar, dengan mengoleksi 48 poin dan cuma terpaut dua angka dari Chelsea di posisi empat. Martial berharap timnya bisa konsisten agar misi ke empat besar bisa terwujud.

"Saya tidak berpikir kami sangat jauh dari empat besar, jadi ini cuma soal terus melaju, menang sebanyak mungkin agar kami bisa mengamankan tempat di Liga Champions di akhir musim," sambung Martial.

"Banyak pesepakbola akan bilang hal yang sama, [tujuan saya adalah] memenangkan titel dan trofi sebanyak mungkin, gelar sebanyak mungkin, dan terus berkembang sebagai pemain selama bertahun-tahun," ujarnya.
