The midfielder has been urged to stick with Manchester United
Paul Pogba returned to Manchester United in the summer of 2016, on a five-year contract for a then-record for highest football transfer fee at £89.3 million. He left the club to join Juventus in 2012 for more game time, where he established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world.
The France International started off the last season off positively but was benched following a few poor performances. His form was often questioned last season and was even criticized by Jose Mourinho himself.
Though the 25 year old responded with brilliant performances towards the end of the season and won the United’s Player of the month for April. He ended the season with 6 goals and 11 assists in all competitions.
However, there has been speculations that the midfielder’s relation with Jose Mourinho is not good and they weren’t even in speaking terms. As a result he has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona, with the European transfer window still open.
Amid transfer links, he returned to training last week after post World Cup holiday and started in the club’s first match of the season against Leicester City on Friday. He was given the Captain’s armband and converted a penalty to give the team 1-0 lead.
Mourinho revealed on Friday that there is no problem between him and Pogba. The manager claimed he’s never been so happy with him and will be again the Captain’s armband this weekend.
Paul Scholes believes Pogba is not A Barcelona type player and urged him to stick with Manchester United.
The Red Devils legend told Radio 5 Live: “I just don’t see Pogba as a Barcelona type player. We hope he stays, every team wants to keep their best players and we want him to stay.
“He has amazing qualities but has not shown them enough. Hopefully he can drive United to a title challenge.”
Scholes added: “I don’t know – there’s obviously some sort of breakdown in their relationship from what we read.. do we know that for definite? I don’t know.
“What we do know is that Paul needs to perform more often than he is doing.
“We all know the talent that he’s got. Great ability, great strength, an athlete, but he’s only doing it once every three of four games and if you’re going to challenge for a title I just don’t think that’s enough.”
