Pogba's departure will save Manchester United millions

Paul Pogba will have cost Manchester United £179.6 million in fees and wages when his Old Trafford contract expires at the end of June. Breaking down the financial hit of Pogba's cycle at United since he returned to the club from Juventus for a then-record £89.1 million pass in 2016, there are no positive numbers.

The French midfielder's 213 first-team appearances cost £84,319.25 per game, with his 38 goals costing £4,726,315.79 each. And the two major trophies Pogba helped United win during nearly six years at the club, the Carabao Cup and the Europa League in 2017, amount to £89.8 million each.

If the 28-year-old had helped win a Premier League or Champions League title, the huge financial impact of his passing and his reported £290,000-a-week salary might have been worth it.

Before he leaves as a free agent this summer, it's impossible to suggest that the move was worth it for either the club or the player, unless you want to bring into the equation the huge jump in social media followers on both sides during their time together.

Where will Pogba go?

Right now, Juventus is the one with the advantage to get the Frenchman. Regarding his numbers, the midfielder played a total of 27 games in the 2022-23 season, in which he scored one goal and nine assists. In terms of minutes, he played a total of 1,811 minutes.
