Paul Pogba’s Manchester United future appears to be hanging in the balance, as the midfielder moves into the final year of his deal with the Red Devils.

Talks over a new deal for the Frenchman are said to have broken down, with some reports going as far as too say Pogba has rejected a firm offer.

According to Sky Sports, Pogba is ‘increasingly unlikely’ to put pen to paper on an extension, with PSG reported to be interested in signing the 28-year-old.

If Pogba does opt against extending his five-year stay at Old Trafford, United will likely be left with a big decision to make: sell now to avoid losing him on a free loan, or take the financial hit and get the most out of him on the pitch next season?

It’s fair to say that losing Pogba – who was by far and away France’s standout performer in their disappointing Euro 2020 campaign, which resulted in a last-16 penalty shootout exit to Switzerland – would deal a significant blow to United, who must surely be aiming to mount a Premier League title challenge in 2021-22.

While he has blown hot and cold in his second spell with the club where he began his career a decade ago, the midfielder enjoyed a fine 2020-21 for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, producing perhaps his best-ever run of form to help them to top of the table midway through the campaign.
