Paul Pogba ‘prepared to start next summer as a FREE AGENT’

Paul Pogba is reportedly prepared to see out the remainder of his contract at Manchester United and start the summer as a free agent.

According to The Telegraph, Pogba is prepared to bide his time before choosing his next club, with his second tenure at United all but over.

Pogba is also reportedly prepared to even consider joining a rival Premier League outfit if the offer is right.

French giants Paris Saint-Germain have long been linked with a move to bring Pogba to his home country and can enter talks with him now as he is in the final stretch of his contract.

Juventus and Real Madrid are other teams to have been linked with the World Cup winning midfielder in recent months.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola also claimed back in 2018 that he was offered the chance to sign Pogba in the January transfer window.

Pogba recently returned to fitness for United after sustaining a bad thigh injury last year while with France on international duty. He has made 23 appearances in all competitions for United so far this season, scoring once.

Pogba revealed on Wednesday night that he had been burgled in Manchester while playing in their Champions League defeat by Atletico Madrid. He said his children were inside the house when the incident happened.

He wrote on social media: ‘Last night our family’s worst nightmare was realized when our home was broken into and burglarized while our babies were sleeping in their bedroom. 

‘The burglars were in our home for less than five minutes but in that time they took from us something more valuable than anything we had in our home… our sense of safety and security.

‘This occurred during the final minutes of last night’s match when they knew that we would not be home. My wife and I rushed home not knowing if our children were safe and unharmed. 

‘As a father there is no feeling worse in this world than not being there to protect your children and I sincerely hope that no one ever has to feel what I felt last night. 

‘It is for this reason that I would like to offer a reward for anyone who has a clue to help us. Please send any info to rewardpogba@gmail.com.’   

With United out of the FA Cup, their next game now isn’t until April 2 when they host Leicester in the Premier League at Old Trafford.
