The latest statements made by Pogba’s agent mean that the midfielder is set to complete a sensational U-turn after he was linked with a move away for the majority of the 2019-20 campaign. Reports covering Man United transfer news had suggested that the French international was keen on a move to Real Madrid, but the Pogba transfer never materialised. However, since the restart, the midfielder has been in great touch for the Red Devils, and recently expressed his confidence in the club’s future.

Giving the clearest indication yet that he is happy in England, Pogba talked about his experience of returning to training after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. While speaking to the club’s official website, Paul Pogba thanked his teammates and the club for the support they showed in him. Similar comments were also made by United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer earlier this month, as he expressed his desire to keep Paul Pogba at Old Trafford.
