How Man Utd Players Have Reacted To 'Pogba Exit' Talk
29 July, 2021
With Paul Pogba tipped to leave Manchester United in this window, how his teammates have reacted to the news surrounding the star who earns £290 000 a week has reportedly been revealed.
The 28-year-old midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks, with the French giants said to be eager to lure him to the country's capital ahead of the 2021/22 season, which starts next month.
It is widely known that Pogba's current contract in England expires in June 2022, leaving the Red Devils in a tricky situation. While hanging on to him could benefit Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the team in the short term, the club might not want to risk losing him for free next year.
As for the players themselves, it has been reported that the news has led a few first-team stars to try to convince Pogba to stay at the 20-time English champions.
According to The Sun, Marcus Rashford is among the group of players begging the former Juventus man to stay at the Red Devils and commit his future to the club.
It is claimed that Pogba's colleagues at United believe he is a key member of the team and that they feel they would be losing an influential figure should he decided to not renew his contract.
Younger players at the club are also believed to look up to the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner, who is viewed as a leader in the dressing room.
At this point, it appears unclear as to whether or not the pleas from his teammates will have an impact on his eventual decision, although United have perhaps made a potential exit for Pogba slightly less desirable following the high-profile arrivals of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane.
