Although focus has heavily been on incomings this summer, rumours surrounding Paul Pogba’s future has been as prominent as ever. The 28-year-old has just one year remaining on his current deal at Old Trafford and is free to leave for nothing next year.

Paris Saint-Germain’s interest in Pogba is said to be genuine but talks with Pogba over a new deal at Manchester United has been discussed with the player.

That’s according to The Athletic, who goes on to say that there are people in knowledge of the situation who doubt whether Pogba truly wants to leave the Premier League to join Ligue 1.
