Man Utd make their stance abundantly clear after Pogba’s Tokyo stunt
Paul Pogba has been told by Manchester United that he will not be sold despite comments he made in Tokyo in which he suggested a desire to leave.
Pogba dropped his biggest hint yet that a summer exit is firmly on the cards by admitting he is looking for a ‘new challenge’.
The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford this window, with Serie A giants Juventus reportedly keen on the idea of bringing Pogba back to Turin.
Real Madrid have also been heavily linked with a move for Pogba, but United have made their stance very clear on the matter.
The London Evening Standard claims that the World Cup winner has been told that he will be playing for the Red Devils next season and will not be sold.
Despite speculation Pogba could even strike if bids are not entertained, Ed Woodward is ‘determined’ to keep his record signing and expects him to report back for preseason training next month.
In the event that United are forced to sell the 26-year-old, they are expected to command a fee in the region of £130m (€145m) to even come to the negotiating table, the report states.
