The France superstar enters the final two years of his contract this summer and was expected to leave amid months of transfer speculation.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have both been linked, with his former club Juventus also keen to bring him back to Italy despite him being restricted to only eight matches through injury this campaign.
However, The Daily Mail claim Pogba “sees his long-term future at United and is happy to stay” and could “even extend” his contract at Old Trafford.
They state the 26-year-old, the Red Devils’ club-record £89million buy, is determined to “prove his true worth” after failing to hit top gear ever since his return to Manchester in 2016.
Having been impressed with January signing Fernandes’ impact, he is now sure that the pair can form a midfield partnership and help spearhead a United resurgence for top honours.
Even though the 2018 World Cup winner has not publicly expressed his desire to leave, his agent Mino Raiola has suggested numerous times his client may prefer to leave.

United were believed to be willing to listen to offers for him at the end of the season, with his future allegedly dependent on whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can lead them back into the Champions League, in order not to avoid losing him cheaply.
Now Pogba’s alleged rethink could prompt Old Trafford chiefs to try and open talks over a new deal, with the ace currently pocketing around £300,000-a-week.
The much-maligned player returned to training this week following a spell on the sidelines and could be available for tomorrow’s Europa League clash with LASK or back for Sunday’s Prem showdown with Tottenham.
