Manchester United will not sell Paul Pogba despite Juventus interest – sources

Manchester United will reject any attempts to prise Paul Pogba away from Old Trafford in January, sources have told ESPN FC, despite growing interest from Juventus in re-signing the France midfielder.

Pogba, who cost United a then-world record £89 million when returned to the club from Juventus in August 2016, has been dropped to the substitutes’ bench by manager Jose Mourinho for the club’s last two games, against Arsenal and Fulham in the Premier League.cheap nike nfl jerseys paypal

Mourinho insisted after Saturday’s 4-1 win at home to Fulham that Pogba will start Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Valencia in Spain and will “show everyone how good he is.”

But despite Mourinho’s assurance that the 25-year-old will be given the chance to prove his worth this week, Pogba’s future at Old Trafford is increasingly uncertain following a turbulent season since helping France win the World Cup in Russia.

Mourinho has stripped Pogba of the vice-captaincy, claiming that he is unsuited to the role, and the pair were also involved in a much-publicised training ground spat, when television cameras captured the manager clashing with the player in front of teammates.nfl nike jerseys cheap china

Pogba, who was ranked as the fifth-best midfielder in in the ESPN FC 100, has also delivered thinly veiled criticisms of Mourinho’s tactics, saying United should “attack, attack, attack” after the draw at home to Wolves in September.

Mourinho last week refused to discuss allegations that he described Pogba as a “virus” following the 2-2 draw at Southampton earlier this month, but the player has not started a competitive game since his poor performance at St Mary’s.

But although the United hierarchy are aware of Pogba’s struggles with Mourinho this season, sources have told ESPN FC that the club has no intention to sell the player.
