Peter Schmeichel, the legendary Man Utd goalkeeper and father of the current Leicester goalie, told the 'Mirror' that he does not see Paul Pogba leaving Manchester and signing for another club.

That Zinedine Zidane has been after Paul Pogba for a long time is known by everyone. But in England, there are those who are very sure that he will not go to Real Madrid. 

"I'm absolutely convinced that he wants to stay. I think we'll somebody, more of the player we saw a year ago," the former United keeper told 'Daily Express'. 

Schmeichel reiterated his thoughts on the commitment of a Pogba who he thinks is portrayed negatively by the media and his agent: "One thing is how he's portrayed in the media for what he does and what he says himself and another thing is what his agent is doing."

"And a completely different thing is what it's really like. He wanted to come back to Manchester United, he wanted to come back. And he has got, like any other player at that level in the world, he's got his pride. And I don't think he wants to leave. I don't think so," he concluded.
