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.
