Jose Mourinho has no plans to sell the midfielder

Paul Pogba returned to to his former club 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 plus bonuses of €5 million. He left the club to join Juventus in 2012, where he established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world.

The France International was pivotal for the team in his first season and helped the club to win the League cup and Europa League. He started this season off brilliantly and was a regular for the team.

But the 25 year old was benched following poor performance in the Premier League loss against Tottenham in January. He was also dropped for both legs of the club’s unsuccessful Champions League last-16 tie against Sevilla.

This led to reports about fractured relationship with Jose Mourinho and the midfielder was heavily linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

But Pogba fought his way back to the Starting XI and crowned the Premier League’s Player of the Month for April, scoring 3 goals and assisting 2 in 5 games.

Mourinho feels that the former Juventus star will be at the club next season  as the manager guaranteed neither him nor the club want to sell the star French midfielder.

I think he’s going to be here next season,” Mourinho said ahead of Thursday’s trip to West Ham, as quoted by Goal.com. “That’s my feeling.

“I can give the guarantee that I don’t want him to leave. I can give you the guarantee that the club doesn’t want to sell him and I can give you the guarantee that we don’t have any approach from him, from his agent or from any club.

“So, in this moment, for me, he’s staying.”

Manchester United will face Chelsea in the finals of FA Cup on 19th May and Pogba is expected to play a crucial role in that game.

The Right-back has fallen down the pecking order under Mourinho

Manchester United are expected to bolster their side this summer after falling behind Manchester City in the Premier League this season. Few players are expected to be sold in the transfer window in order to accommodate new signings.

One of the players that has been heavily linked with a summer exit is Matteo Darmian. The Italy International joined United from Torino in the summer of 2015 but has failed to establish himself as a regular starter for the team.

The 28 year has  fallen out of the pecking order under Jose Mourinho this season, the manager preferring Antonio Valencia ahead of him. The defender has just started four games and came as a substitute three times for the club this season.

Darmian is expected to leave the club as the Premier League giants are already looking to sign new full-backs. Serie A giants Juventus have shown strong interest him for several months and hopeful of bringing back the player to Italy this summer.

Only thing now needs to be done is for the Turin club to agree a fee with Manchester United. Jose Mourinho’s side have slapped a €20 million price tag.

However, Giuseppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici are working to reduce Darmian’s price to half, which could be €10 million plus bonuses according to CalcioMercato.

The Brazilian is also a target for Real Madrid and Liverpool

David De Gea joined Manchester United from Atletico Madrid for a record fee of  approximately £18.9 million in the summer of 2011. He was signed by the club to replace Van der Sar.

The Spain International has been been the mainstay for the Premier League giants despite struggling at the first and has established himself probably the best goalkeeper in the world over the past seven seasons with the club.

The 27 year old has attracted heavy interest from Real Madrid in the past few transfer windows and was close to joining them in 2015 but a deal never went through. They are still interested in him ahead of the transfer window as they looking to replace Keylor Navas.

Red Devils have always maintained that De Gea is not for sale but are wary of Real’s continuous interest in the goalkeeper and already preparing themselves if they lose their star this summer.

Manchester United have made enquiries about Roma Goalkeeper Alisson Becker according to Mirror.

Alisson has very impressive for the Serie A giants this season, helping his team to reach the Semi-finals of the Champions League this season. He is regarded as one of the finest goalkeepers in the world and has attracted interest from Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Liverpool are particularly keen but are believed to have been put off by Roma’s €100 million valuation and now facing competition from their Premier League rivals.

United will move for the Brazilian only if De Gea leaves them this summer. But Roma president James Pallotta insisted that they are not under pressure to sell the player.

“I am not going to sell him,” he told Sky.

“Liverpool want to sign him and we are on very good terms with him.

“I am sure we will receive some huge offers this summer.

“We don’t want to sell him but the decision must also be taken by Monchi and the manager. We want to build the future of Roma around him.”
