I would like him to stay, Manchester United star Juan Mata talks about Paul Pogba

Manchester United star Paul Pogba has been heavily linked with a move away but with the Red Devils placing a £150 million valuation on the Frenchman, no move has materialized as of yet. But that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from linking him to numerous clubs, with Real Madrid are at the top of that list.

However, Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has revealed that he hopes that Pogba stays at the club and helps the once-dominant Premier League side, dominate again. The 26-year-old has revealed a desire to leave Old Trafford in early June, with his agent Mino Raiola further adding fuel to the fire.

“We all know Paul and he's a fantastic midfielder and he's a very good guy, very positive, good influence for everyone,” Mata said. “I think he's happy, he brings everyone together. But I cannot speak for other people. I cannot speak for myself, for my present and my future in the club.

And obviously as a team-mate, and as a friend also, I would like him to stay and to be happy because he is a very good player for us, but I cannot say much else,” he concluded.
