Man Utd: Paul Pogba is ‘happy’ at club says Julien Laurens
Manchester United think it’s likely Paul Pogba will stay at Old Trafford amid transfer interest from Real Madrid and Juventus, reports say. The France international wanted to quit the club a year ago. But with the Red Devils much-improved under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he may now stay put.
Manchester United beat Real Madrid to the signing of Pogba back in 2016, landing the France international from Juventus in a massive £89million deal.
Yet the France international has endured a mixed second spell at Old Trafford in the time since, blowing hot and cold under both Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Arguably his best performances in a United shirt have some following the Premier League restart, with the 27-year-old impressing alongside Bruno Fernandes and Nemanja Matic in the middle of the park.
With clubs still feeling the financial impact from the coronavirus crisis, talk of Real Madrid and Juventus moving for Pogba has cooled.
Real boss Zinedine Zidane is a big admirer of the midfielder, having twice attempted to land his compatriot in the past.
And Juventus would love to have him back so they could deploy him in the same side as Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo.

“You can see that, and we’ve already seen flashes of he and Fernandes linking up together.
“But Paul is still a few levels off from his best.
“I think he can sometimes get the ball nicked off him too easily, and I still want to see him going from box to box, driving forward, and bringing a bit of unpredictability to that midfield.”
United beat Leicester 1-0 when they met at the King Power Stadium when they met last season, with Marcus Rashford the matchwinner.
They require just a point against the Foxes to ensure they secure Champions League qualification.
