POGBA TO STAY OR TO LEAVE?
Paul Pogba encouraged by the arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho at Old Trafford; agent said nine months ago it would be best if the France star left the club; trophies can persuade the midfielder to stay, says boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Paul Pogba has been impressed by Manchester United’s recruitment over the summer and is now more open to signing a contract extension. Talks will continue between Pogba’s representatives and United over his future, with the France international inside the final year of his contract at Old Trafford. It is understood that while no decision has been made, the 28-year-old is coming around to the idea of extending his stay in Manchester after seeing the arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho.
Ronaldo’s homecoming in Saturday’s 4-1 Premier League win over Newcastle saw the Old Trafford crowd at uproar, with Pogba assisting twice to take his tally to seven for the season in just four matches. United are unbeaten after four games this season – winning three of those – and sit top of the Premier League table.
As at last month, it was rumored that it was unlikely for Pogba to sign a new contract during the summer transfer window – but that fact did not rule out an extension at some point. Apparently, Pogba continues to have a fantastic relationship with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the rest of the coaching staff and players. And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the return of Cristiano Ronaldo can help Manchester United become winners again and persuade Paul Pogba to commit his long-term future to the club.
