‘Wouldn’t take him on a free’ – Some Liverpool fans react to links with 28-yr-old ace
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly been offered to Premier League rivals Liverpool by his agent Mino Raiola. We covered reports earlier that the World Cup winner is in the final year of his contract with the Red Devils and his agent has spoken to the representatives of the Merseyside club regarding a potential transfer. The 28 year old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford in recent weeks and Paris Saint-Germain have been mentioned as a potential destination as well. Although Pogba is a world class player on his day, a move to Liverpool seems highly unlikely given the rivalry between the two clubs. There has not been a direct transfer between the two clubs since 1964. Furthermore, the Frenchman is likely to demand massive wages and the Reds will simply...

Manchester United board in disagreement with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over Paul Pogba
Manchester United’s board and manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, are in disagreement over the future of Paul Pogba. The Mirror says with his contract at Old Trafford due to expire next year, attentions are starting to turn towards a possible new contract. Solskjaer wants the midfielder to stay at the club, having worked so hard to get him back to his blistering best. But it’s said that, behind the scenes, there’s a split in opinion. Some United board members are wary of meeting Pogba’s salary demands with the player’s agent, Mino Raiola, wanting his client to pocket £400,000-a-week. That’s just too steep at the current moment in time, particularly with the coronavirus crisis raging on and Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane being amongst their current targets. United are said to value their midfie...
Paul Pogba: N’Golo Kante star is a ‘smart kid’ and a ‘cunning’ player
N’Golo Kante “cheats a lot”, according to Paul Pogba, who has described the Chelsea star as a “smart kid” and a “cunning” player. Kante has established himself as one of the top midfielders in Europe since joining Leicester City from Caen in 2015, helping the Foxes win the Premier League title before also going on to lift the trophy with Chelsea. The 30-year-old has a World Cup winners’ medal to his name too, having been part of the triumphant 2018 France squad alongside Pogba, who has now revealed that his compatriot will do whatever it takes to win, even if it means bending the rules. The Manchester United talisman told beIN Sports of his international colleague: “He cheats a lot. A lot. At card games, board games. Honestly, I’m telling the truth. He cheats. “He says he doesn’t cheat, bu...
Manchester United could sell David de Gea to up Paul Pogba’s salary
Man Utd are preparing for the 2021-22 season. They are doing the sums at Man Utd ahead of next term. Paul Pogba’s future is one of the issues the club need to sort out. His contract expires in 2022. That means that, whether he renews or not, this will be United’s final summer when they sell him and make money from his sale. ‘The Sun’ reports that United want to keep the midfielder. They paid Juventus 100 million for Pogba and they apparently want to get back a good amount of that money. They are worried this will be less likely to happen as the summer goes on. Therefore, United want to renew Pogba. To continue at the club, the former Juve man is demanding 500,000 pounds a week, a crazy sum of money. In order to pay him this amount of money, ‘The Sun’ says that United could let De Gea leave...
‘I couldn’t care less’ – Spurs boss Jose Mourinho responds to Paul Pogba’s criticism
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba recently hit out at Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho for his man-management skills. The French international revealed that he had a good relationship with the current Spurs boss but the equation between the two deteriorated after a trophyless second season and a poor start to the 2018-19 campaign. Mourinho was involved in a training ground spat with Pogba and the player was eventually stripped of the club’s vice-captaincy in September 2018. Pogba has revealed to Sky Sports that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would never go against his own players like Mourinho. He also revealed that the current Manchester United manager does not mistreat players even if he not picking them. The Portuguese manager has been criticised for his treatment of Spurs midfielder...
Paul Pogba limps off injured in Manchester United’s clash vs Everton
Manchester United have been dealt a blow as Paul Pogba limped off injured after 39 minutes of the Premier League clash with Everton. The France international has been in excellent form in recent weeks, but he looks set for a spell on the sidelines. He was on the ball and played a simple pass towards Victor Lindelof, only to immediately pull up in discomfort. He pointed to his right thigh as he received treatment before being replaced by Fred and limping down the Old Trafford tunnel. Midfield is one area of strength for Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with the likes of Fred, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, Nemamja Matic and Donny van de Beek ensuring there are ample options to choose from. However, in what is a congested season any absence will be keenly felt. Following the clash wi...
Marcus Rashford tames Wolves to send Manchester United into second
Marcus Rashford’s deflected strike deep into stoppage time moved Manchester United to within two points of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Wolves on Tuesday. United laboured for long spells against a youthful Wolves side, but got a huge slice of fortune in the 93rd minute when Rashford’s shot hit Romain Saiss to leave Rui Patricio helpless. Victory takes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men up to second and continues an excellent run of 23 points from the last possible 27 to mount an unlikely title challenge after a slow start to the season. Despite enjoying one more day’s rest amid the packed festive schedule than their opponents, Solskjaer made six changes from the side that drew 2-2 at Leicester on Boxing Day. Edinson Cavani made just his second Premier League start...
Man Utd star dreams of Real Madrid move, some of their fans react: ‘Get rid’, ‘Let him go’
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has admitted that he dreams of playing for Real Madrid one day. Most players are tempted to play for the Spanish giants and Pogba’s comments are hardly a surprise. The Frenchman has been linked with a move to Santiago Bernabeu in the past as well. Manchester United paid £89m for the 27-year-old midfielder back in 2016 but he has failed to live up to the expectations at Old Trafford so far. Pogba is yet to display his world-class ability on a consistent basis and the fans will be hoping he can get back to his best this year. Manchester United need players like him in top form in order to challenge for the top honours this season. There is no doubt that he is one of the best midfielders in the world when he is on form and Pogba must look to justif...
