Paul Pogba will have cost Manchester United £179.6 million in transfer fee and wages by the time his Old Trafford contract expires at the end of June. He now has less than six months to deliver some kind of value for money by helping his drifting club salvage something tangible in the Premier League or Champions League from their dismal season.
When you break down the financial hit of Pogba's time at United since he returned to the club from Juventus in a then-world record £89.1m deal in 2016, there are no positive numbers.
