But in the end, he was forced to stay at Old Trafford as Madrid failed to make any bids, knowing they couldn’t afford to sign him.
Since then, he has barely played this season after suffering an ankle injury, and the Daily Star claims he will push for a move in January.
Speaking on ESPN FC, Burley explained that he doesn’t believe Pogba wants to be at United anymore, and said he would sell him if he was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer right now.
“Paul Pogba, fantastic talent, don’t see enough of it, he’s injured at the moment,” he said.

“I don’t think he wants to be in Manchester.
“I think he wants to be somewhere else, no matter what he says.
“He hasn’t really performed consistently.
“I wouldn’t keep him for that reason.”

Burley went on to explain that Pogba’s style of play works better when he’s in a team with better team-mates.
“If I had a great team, and I could fit him into that great team that Ferguson had, I’d probably keep him because you know he can produce,” he continued.
“But at this moment in time, I only want people who want to be there, and I don’t think he does.”
