What happened?
As soon as episode one’s pre-amble opens, we are hit with a rather epic narration; ‘Wherever he goes, he is shiny…like a walking star’. We are then immediately told that ‘some people are difficult to love, but Paul is easy to love’. It is all very self-grandiose, but then what else would you realistically expect from a series commissioned with a very specific aim? Pogba’s memories are played out through animated scenes, including leaving France to join Manchester United aged 16 and the loss o...
What did we learn?
Raiola was almost like a father figure to Pogba and, presumably, his other clients. He spoke about acting in their best interest as if they were his sons. But while Raiola has always been the public face, Pogba hugely values the role that Pimenta played – he calls her his ‘business mom’. Pogba genuinely thought he might be leaving United in 2021 and that Fulham could have been his last home game. It is also made clear that he doesn’t think the club did enough to keep him and perhaps only star...
What happened?
Episode two starts and finishes on the same general time-line that was established in the first. It is early summer 2021 and Pogba, having finished the club season is now turning his attention to Euro 2020 with France. He works on his fitness at home with his personal trainer and his close friendship with Antoine Griezmann is established after his international pops up on FaceTime. “He’s a bit crazy like me, so there was a connection,” Pogba said of their instant relationship. Family is a maj...
What did we learn?
Pogba really loves playing for France. It seems to motivate more than anything else in football, with the episode opening with his recollections of scoring in the triumphant 2018 World Cup final. We found out that the French team were as surprised as everyone else by Karim Benzema’s sudden recall to the squad in time for Euro 2020. Pogba spoke about it with Griezmann and it is suggested that even captain Hugo Lloris was unaware until it happened. Religion has been a major factor in Pogba’s li...
What happened?
If episode two took a slightly slower pace to look at Pogba, the man away from football and behind closed doors, episode three ramped back up on the football and the transfer saga hanging over him. Zulay and his children were in Miami throughout Euro 2020, but his mother and older brother Mathias went to France’s knockout clash against Switzerland. Once France were out of the tournament after losing a 3-1 lead and crumbling on penalties, Pogba flew to Miami to reunite with his wife and kids....
What did we learn?
Pogba had an early setback in his career when, aged 12, he was rejected by the legendary French football academy at Clairefontaine. He says it spurred him on to make it as a pro anyway. On the transfer front, Raiola was never going to rule out continuing to speak to Manchester United, but was ready to speak to other clubs, including PSG, as soon as it was permitted. Pogba himself also openly flirted with the idea of PSG during a phone call with a friend after France’s Euro 2020 elimination, d...
What happened?
The whole of episode four is set against the backdrop of Pogba’s summer holiday in Miami. He speaks with Raiola again about his contract situation with United, before visiting friend and international teammate Blaise Matuidi at his waterside home in Florida. Pogba also goes off to play basketball at Miami Heat facilities, as well as working with his personal trainer with a view to starting pre-season in good shape. In between, there is a video montage reflecting on his four years at Juventus....
What did we learn?
Arguably the most eye-opening exchange in the entire series took place in this episode, and it is not one that reflects well on Pogba. He is told by Raiola that there is a contract offer from United, but not as much as they had hoped – reports have suggested it was an improvement on his existing £290,000 per week deal. Yet Pogba described it as ‘nothing’. “They really want you to stay,” Raiola said on a video call. “For me, the offer doesn’t reflect that. If they want you to stay, they can’t...
What happened?
The Pogmentary, just shy of three hours in total, finishes with episode five. Having spent the first four episodes actively discussing leaving Manchester United, Pogba and Raiola begin the finale with an about turn. Suddenly, the focus is that he is happy at the club (seemingly only because they weren’t prepared to sell him – but it keeps the ‘power’ in his hands). A voiceover from a sportscast says, “Why should Pogba leave United, when United is building something good? At least on paper.” P...
What did we learn?
Pogba seemed to think that United had a genuine chance of winning trophies in 2021/22 and specifically namedropped new signing and France colleague Varane in his justification. Pogba tells Varane, “All the defenders need a mentor,” which was certainly a valid point when considering how Harry Maguire and co performed during the season. On the looming issue of his future, Raiola alludes to Pogba often wanting to take his time over things. That has rung true as throughout the last few months, th...
There are some nice parts to The Pogmentary. Seeing sides of Pogba's family life that are usually kept behind closed doors, the relationships he has with his wife and kids, are really pleasant. But you get the feeling of repetitiveness. Even though time is progressing as the episodes go by, the same general things come up again and again. What you ...
