The player has been linked with an exit throughout the summer
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 was pivotal for the team during his first season with the Red Devils and helped the club to win the League cup and their first ever Europa League title.
The 25 year old started 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 Frenchman 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 but the English side finished second in the league, 19 points behind Manchester City.
The midfielder was one of the standout players in this year’s world cup and helped his nation France to lift the trophy after 20 years, even scoring against Croatia in the finals. He received praises for his impressive displays and hailed as one of the driving forces for the team.
However, he has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona and Juventus this summer and with European window still open the player could still leave.
But the World Cup winner has returned to training this week and Mourinho insisted that he is happy at the club.
“My perception, he arrived Monday, happy, proud, a desire to work,” the Portuguese manager told a press conference as quoted by Goal.
“He worked amazingly well Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. He’s one of the players that I have to speak to, to see how physically and mentally he feels.
“But it’s the same conversation as with [Ashley] Young, [Marouane] Fellaini, [Jesse] Lingard, it’s the same.
“If they feel they can help us [against Leicester] – 20 minutes, 10 minutes, half an hour. We don’t have many solutions and want to go with everything we have.
“I see [Pogba] very well but we need words with that small group to see if they can give us a hand. We have to try and get the best out of every player.”
