Paul Pogba: Pundit can’t believe Man United source’s update – ‘You’re joking’
There is “no chance” Paul Pogba will sign for another Premier League club if he leaves Man United this summer.
That’s according to former West Ham hitman Frank McAvennie, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the France international’s future.
A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Pogba has not made up his mind on his future and is interested in potentially joining another Premier League club as well as heading to a Continental giant this summer.
The midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and has recently returned to the fold at Man United.
He has started three of the Red Devils’ last four Premier League games after returning from injury, scoring and assisting once.
Despite this upturn in form, McAvennie insists Pogba will not join another Premier League club this summer.
“You are joking? He will only join a club where the manager already knows him,” McAvennie told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“I don’t think anyone is taking a risk like that on him. I wouldn’t go near him.
“He’s a talented boy and maybe he is a bit misunderstood. The problem is when he doesn’t want to do something, he won’t do it.
“The dressing room can’t be doing with players like that. He has perked up a bit since Ronaldo came in but where has this been for the last few years?
“Ronaldo won’t let him play poorly or go into a sulk, unless Ronaldo goes into a sulk himself.
“Listen, there’s no chance of him moving somewhere in the Premier League in my mind.”
Pogba has now scored 39 goals and notched 50 assists during his time at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils sit fourth in the Premier League with a four-point buffer to fifth-placed West Ham.
