While there has been sparks and cameos of the world-class player that the 29-year-old could be, it has been mostly a struggle to fit Pogba into the team.

However, things are set to change as rumours have revealed that Pogba is not set to extend his contract at Manchester United and leave as a free agent at the end of the 2021/22 season. That has sparked interest in the 29-year-old from Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus. But while a move to City has been ruled out, Sky Sports has revealed that Juventus are set to meet with Pogba’s representatives in order to start talks.
The Frenchman is currently being looked after by Rafaela Pimenta after his agent Mino Raiola passed away last month.
