“After this season and everything that happened, with my season being my best season … it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else.”

He believes the transfer may be done by next week.
And he says that United are set to receive a transfer fee of £70million plus Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos as part of the operation.
"The Juventus thing is a trick of Raiola to raise the price,” he told Spanish TV station El Chiringuito.

“Paul Pogba, I know a lot of people have given him a lot of negativity during the season and after what he came out and said last weekend,” Higginbotham told Sky Sports’ Transfer Talk podcast.
“But if you can get him to stay at Manchester United and be happy, he would be the type of player I would build the team around.
“But you have to have the players around him to allow him to go and express himself.”
