Ungrateful, reckless and greedy! To him, $365,000 per week is "nothing"

A new documentary shows that Pogba is a greedy mercenary - but we already knew that

Paul Pogba doesn't seem to care what people think about him. And that's fine. That sort of attitude enabled him to become a global star and a millionaire while he was still only a teenager. But after ten years of Pogba being Pogba, we have to say that it's all getting disgusting.

The 29-year-old will leave Manchester United and officially become a free agent at the end of the month. But his departure from Old Trafford isn't a result of the club not wanting to keep him. They did make an offer of a new contract that would see the French international earn around $365,000 every week. But that wasn't enough.

In a five-episode documentary series that's about to be launched, Pogba was filmed saying that United's offer was "nothing".

Speaking in his documentary named The Pogmentary, Pogba seemed offended that the club had waited for so long to make an offer. It's just another way of saying that he wanted more money.

"My thought process is to show Manchester United that they made a mistake in waiting to give me a contract. And to show other clubs that they had made a mistake in not offering me a contract."

United made Pogba at least two offers worth more than the existing $350,000-a-week deal that had already made him one of the best-paid players in the Premier League. But Pogba responded to his late agent Mino Raiola's revelation of their second offer last July by saying the club had offered him "nothing".

"How can you tell a player you absolutely want him and offer him nothing? I've never seen anything like it."

The 2018 World Cup winner never lived up to the hype and expectations in a Manchester United shirt. He has all the tools to be one of the best players in the world, but it seems that sport was never high on his list of priorities. He's got the money, he's got his celebrity status, and now he's got his documentary. Well done. But he's still just a greedy and ungrateful mercenary.
