ANTONIO CONTE says he wishes Paul Pogba all the best at Manchester United - but only after this weekend.

Chelsea meet Manchester United on Sunday at 4pm at Stamford Bridge.
Jose Mourinho returns to west London for the first time but it is also a reunion for Conte and Pogba.
The Italian signed Pogba for Juventus when he left United in 2012 and helped him to develop into the player he is today.

Pogba scored twice to inspire United to victory over Fenerbahce in the Europa League last night.
But the Chelsea manager insists Pogba is not his only focus for the match.
"We must pay attention to the whole team," Conte added.
"United have a lot of great players.
“One of them for sure is Ibrahimovic, who is a fantastic player.
"There are many, many players.”

Chelsea are two points ahead of United after eight games but are both outside the top four after mixed starts.
However Chelsea put in their best performance of the season last week against Leicester and United looked in good form against Fenerbahce last night.
Conte, though, knows United will make changes after the Europa League tie.
"Man United played yesterday and I watched the game," he said. "I saw the players that will probably start the game on Sunday - four players."
