Future of Pogba in question

PAUL Pogba’s Manchester United future remains open to question after the midfielder gave a noncommittal account of his Old Trafford status.

The £89 million France international has had a tricky second season back at United, and has been left out of the side or substituted early.

On other occasions, manager Jose Mourinho has publicly questioned his contributions, while links with a transfer refuse to go away.

Asked if he would remain a United player, the 25-yearold was less than forthcoming.

“We are never sure of anything, but contractually it’s sure, yes,” he said. “It also depends how it goes with the club, how things work out.”

That may sound a loose commitment at best — contracts rarely being an issue when transfers suit all parties — but there was also no encouragement for Paris St Germain to make a move.

As one of the few clubs with the resources and ambition to attract Pogba, not to mention being his hometown club, they are routinely named as a possible destination.

But asked if turning out at the Parc des Princes held a special attraction, he said: “Honestly, no, it doesn’t.”

Pogba also discussed his relationship with Mourinho, insisting the pair did not have to have the perfect bond to work together professionally.

He said: “There were times where I was on the bench. There was a lot of talk, people thought it wasn’t working out.

“But a coach and a player don’t have to be best friends.”
