  • Pogba ready to sign new Man Utd contract if Rangnick…

    Pogba ready to sign new Man Utd contract if Rangnick…

    Paul Pogba is ready to sign a new contract with Manchester United and stay – if Ralf Rangnick does the same.

    The midfielder has been so impressed with the new Red Devils manager during a number of talks with him that he is ready to make a u-turn rather than leave the club on a free in the summer, says The Sun.

    France World Cup winner Pogba is yet to play for Rangnick due to a thigh injury picked up on international duty at the start of November.

    But the manager’s vision of the future and the part Pogba can play in it at United has won over the player.

    Former managers Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could not find the key to unlock Pogba’s best form for the Red Devils in the seasons following his then world record £89million move from Juventus in 2016.

    Now Rangnick has started to convince the four-time Serie A winner that he can build a midfield and indeed a team around him.

    Rangnick also believes Pogba could prove a galvanising force behind the scenes.

    A number of cliques have started to develop in the squad but Pogba remains popular with all his teammates and he would be inspired by this new leadership role.

    The 28-year-old is due to return to action for United on Thursday, February 8th for the trip to Turf Moor to face Burnley in the Premier League.

  • Link between Pogba and Man Utd now broken – Petit

    Link between Pogba and Man Utd now broken – Petit

    France World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit says Paul Pogba is clearly unhappy at Manchester United.

    The midfielder’s United contract expires in the summer and a renewal looks highly unlikely as he is linked with Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Juventus.

    “‘I believe the link is broken between Paul Pogba and Manchester United,” he told Bookmakers.com.

    “You can see in his body language that he is not happy, it is obvious. You don’t have to be an expert to understand that.

    “In the last few years, he has been hit by so many injuries and I just believe it is time for him to leave the club.

    “His future is just not at Manchester United. They also get no benefit out of a player that is clearly not motivated anymore either.

    “Which means they need to find the best solution for both of them.”

  • Man Utd boost as Paul Pogba returns to training

    Man Utd boost as Paul Pogba returns to training

    France international Paul Pogba was back in full-scale training at Manchester United on Monday.

    The Mirror reports interim manager Ralf Rangnick claimed just 10 days ago that the 28-year-old would not be available until well into February, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s Instagram post has revealed that Pogba is back early.

    The midfielder has been out of his action since November, when he suffered a muscle injury whilst training with France.

    Yet to make an appearance under Rangnick, Pogba could potentially make his return when the Red Devils travel to Brentford on Wednesday or host West Ham on Saturday.

    On Monday afternoon, Ronaldo posted a picture of United’s winning team in training.

    It contained the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Tom Heaton, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Donny van de Beek, Marcus Rashford and, surprisingly, Pogba.

  • Pogba doesn’t feel loved by ex-Man Utd players – Evra

    Pogba doesn’t feel loved by ex-Man Utd players – Evra

    Former Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra expects Paul Pogba to leave Old Trafford.

    Pogba’s contract is due to expire at the end of the season.

    Evra is close to Pogba and told L’Equipe: “It’s complicated.

    “Paul does not feel loved in England, especially by former players. Many argue that he could do more but what I see is mostly a gratuitous indifference to things like his haircut or his clothes. It almost seems like people demand in big matches that you have to break your neck.

    “Today when he plays for the French national team it’s like a breath of fresh air. Then when he returns to Manchester the problems start again.”

  • Pogba spokesman responds to £500,000-a-week claims

    Pogba spokesman responds to £500,000-a-week claims

    Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has denied he’s been offered a new contract.

    Pogba, who is currently recovering from injury, has entered the final six months of his contract.

    Reports that surfaced on Friday have suggested that he was offered fresh terms worth £500,000-per-week last summer.

    But a spokesman for Pogba has issued a statement to the Daily Mail to deny suggestions of a recently extended contract offer from United.

    The statement read: “To clarify media reports, Paul has not been offered a new contract in recent months. Paul is fully focused on his recovery from injury with the aim of helping the team as soon as possible.”

  • It doesn’t have to be over for Pogba and Man Utd – Evra

    It doesn’t have to be over for Pogba and Man Utd – Evra

    Manchester United Champions League winner Patrice Evra insists Paul Pogba can still have a future at Old Trafford.

    Pogba comes off contract at the end of the season and Evra believes he has things to “fix” at the club.

    Evra said during a Q&A with FourFourTwo: “He’s such a great player – and maybe some people can’t understand why he can play so well with France for the national team and not as well for Manchester United.

    “He needs to fix that, give more love to the fans, then they have to give more love to him in return.

    “I think some of the old legends can sometimes go in too personal on him, which I don’t like. He’s a great guy”

  • We shouldn’t be trying to convince Pogba to stay – Rangnick

    We shouldn’t be trying to convince Pogba to stay – Rangnick

    Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick says he doesn’t want to work with Paul Pogba if he doesn’t want to stay.

    As his contract runs down, Pogba has been linked with both Real Madrid and Juventus in the New Year. Rangnick won’t stand in the France international’s way if he wants to leave.

    He said: “I wouldn’t say he is not worth keeping but players need to want to stay and play for the club.

    “If a player doesn’t want to play for a club like Manchester United, even in the long term, I don’t think it makes sense to convince him to change his mind.

    “This is such a massive club, with fantastic support, I don’t think anyone at the club should try to convince a player to stay.

    “Let’s have him come back, get fully fit and training with the team, then we will see where we stand.”

  • I’ll sign new contract if… – Pogba to Man Utd

    I’ll sign new contract if… – Pogba to Man Utd

    Paul Pogba is prepared to stay with Manchester United and sign a new contract.

    The midfielder, 28, is out of contract next summer and he is embroiled in a lengthy stalemate with the Old Trafford hierarchy over extending his stay.

    A source close to the player told L’Equipe he will agree to new terms so long as these make him the highest earner in the Premier League.

    This will require the Red Devils to hand Pogba a deal worth in excess of £500,000 per week, which is veteran superstar Ronaldo’s current salary.

    However, the former Juventus star’s lofty ambitions have been dealt a major blow by his latest injury concern.

    Pogba hobbled away from a France training session on Monday and reports across the Channel warn he will be out for eight to 10 weeks with a thigh complaint.

  • Paul Pogba withdraws from France squad

    Paul Pogba withdraws from France squad

    Manchester United star Paul Pogba has withdrawn from the France squad ahead of their World Cup qualifiers with Kazakhstan and Finland after hobbling out of training on Monday.

    The reigning world champions are preparing for their final two qualifiers as they seek to seal their place at Qatar 2022.

    And while Les Bleus are one step away from qualification, they will be without a talismanic presence during the latest international break.

  • Raiola blames Solskjaer for poor Pogba form at Man Utd

    Raiola blames Solskjaer for poor Pogba form at Man Utd

    Super agent Mino Raiola blames Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the poor form of client Paul Pogba.

    BILD says Raiola blames Solskjaer for Pogba’s poor performances of late.

    Raiola is apparently so unhappy with the United manager that it’s jeopardising a potential move for another of the super-agent’s clients next summer – Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund.

    Solskjaer is desperate for his fellow Norwegian to lead United’s line next season, particularly as Cristiano Ronaldo will be approaching his 38th birthday by then.

    United narrowly missed out on signing Haaland back in 2020 when the youngster opted to join Borussia Dortmund following an impressive 12 months with Red Bull Salzburg.

    But any hopes of a successful pursuit will be dashed if Raiola isn’t happy, and the club are understandably wary of doing business with him again.
