As soon as the transfer market was over, the Red Devils' main objective became assuring Paul Pogba's continuity with the Premier League giants. The plans were clear: to improve his already insane salary (17 million a year) and to shield his contract from any future proposals.
Aware that Real Madrid and Zidane are particularly interested in him, the top management contacted Mino Raiola, the footballer's agent, to start negotiating.
This season promises to be decisive for the French midfielder as his contract expires in 2021. The only chance of Pogba remaining with United after the summer of 2020 is through his previous renewal.
And if the world champion decides not to renew, Manchester United will have to decide the next summer market whether to let him go for a significant amount of money ... or take the risk of having him leave for free at the end of 2020-21.
So it's all in the air for Paul Pogba, but in the meantime, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take advantage of every minute. Currently, the '6' has completed the first four games of the season, leaving two assists.
