Word stemming from the English media on Friday suggests that Paul Pogba could yet continue plying his trade in Manchester beyond the summer, but on the blue half of the city, rather than the red…
The subject of midfielder Pogba’s future has of course long proven a major talking point at Manchester United.

A whole host of clubs from across the continent, in turn, have been touted as potential landing spots for Pogba, with the trio of Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Juventus understood to be keen on his signature.
As alluded to above, though, if the latest speculation to have surfaced in the press late on Friday night is anything to go by, then a shock twist could yet be in the tale when it comes to Pogba’s future…
