Speculation always surrounds Paul Pogba’s future and the latest suggestion is that he could stay at Manchester United after all.

Pogba said that he wanted to leave Old Trafford for a new challenge last summer but his expected move to Real Madrid failed to materialise, leaving him in limbo.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently hinted at the possibility of Pogba extending his stay at United despite the midfielder’s agent, Mino Raiola, suggesting otherwise.

“We’ve got a good open dialogue with Paul so what we talk about and how we see that situation remains between us,” said Solskjaer.

“Our conversations remain private, of course. But, for example, Paul is a Manchester United player through and through.

“He’s been here in two spells. He came as a kid, he’s learnt about the history of the club, the passion of the club. He wants to do the best for United when he’s here and I think we’ve seen that.”
