Manchester United, Pogba leaves and takes the loyalty bonus: anger of the fans

English newspapers do the math in their pockets: over 250 million pounds spent on the Frenchman – ready to return to Juventus – in the last six years

Not only the damage of the farewell on a free transfer, even the insult of a “loyalty bonus“which will be given to him despite the expiration of the contract at the end of the month: in England the anger of the fans of the Manchester United for the farewell of Paul Pogba. It is not so much the choice of the French, for some time it was clear that he would go away and is now ready to go back to Juventusto stir the minds as much as i money spent by the club in this second experience with the Red Devils jersey, in the face of performances not up to par.

The Daily Mail has in fact quantified over 250 million pounds (almost 300 million euros) paid out by United between a card paid to Juve in 2016, a five-year salary (plus the automatic annual renewal started last summer) and bonuses. By the way, both Daily Mail and Times report an additional bonus that will be awarded to Pogba upon expiry of the contract, on June 30: 3.78 million pounds (almost 4.5 million euros) as a “loyalty bonus”. There are no further details on this but, considering that it is defined as “loyalty”, it could refer to the fact that the Frenchman earned an additional bonus for staying at United all five years – plus one – of the contract signed in 2016.
