According to report from Sky in Germany, Paul Pogba is still looking to leave Manchester United and is most likely to leave the club in the summer amid interest from Juventus and Real Madrid.
He will only have a year left in his contract in the summer, which is why the Red Devils might want to sell him as they will otherwise risk losing him for free in 2021.
