Man Utd: Pogba hones skills amid exit talk

Paul Pogba’s career at Manchester United been up and down but he has become an increasingly important figure in the team in recent weeks. His second-half strike against Burnley on Tuesday night ensured United leapfrogged Liverpool to go top of the Premier League table. “It’s very hard to play here,” Pogba said after the game.

“They have a style of play, very strong and we knew it would be difficult.

“We had to keep our heads calm and just focus on ourselves and hope the goal would come and it did come.

“It was a great performance from everyone, good focus.

“There is still a long way to go and we have big games to go so we have to focus on that.”

Just a matter of weeks ago, Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola was discussing the player leaving Old Trafford during the January transfer window.

“I can say that it’s over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United, Raiola said last month.

“Paul is unhappy with Man United as he is no longer able to express himself in the way that he would like and as he is expected to.

“Paul needs a new team, a change of air. He is under contract for the next 18 months and it will expire in the summer of 2022.

“However, I think that the best solution for both Pogba and Man United is that he goes in the next transfer window.

“If not, the Old Trafford club know that they risk losing him on a free transfer as it is not Paul’s intention to extend his contract.

“Manchester United board know the risk losing Pogba for free given the player has no intention of extending.

“If somebody does not understand that, then they do not understand football. In any case, let them blame me if Paul leaves.”

Since then, however, the Frenchman has put in a number of fine displays as the Red Devils prepare to go to Anfield on Sunday.
