The only focus there is to get back as soon as possible into the team to help the team, and to make a good end of the season for Manchester United.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These comments seem to echo what he has said in the reported Tuttosport interview. However, the full interview has <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GFFN\/status\/1335971870546464773\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">not yet been released<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the comments are true, it&#8217;s hard to say if Manchester United would even miss Pogba. He only scored one goal and laid on three assists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofascore.com\/player\/paul-pogba\/111802\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last season.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>These are hardly the numbers of a world-class player.<\/p>\n<h3>A Move Might Be the Right Thing for Paul Pogba<\/h3>\n<p>While Pogba has struggled for United,\u00a0 yet he has been a leader for France. The midfielder was a key part of France&#8217;s World Cup win.<\/p>\n<p>In the final against Croatia, the Frenchman stared. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/soccer\/decisive-paul-pogba-helps-france-win-2018-world-cup\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">completed<\/a> 30 of his 35 passes and was a defensive wall in front of the backline with four tackles and seven ball recoveries.<\/p>\n<p>He also created the decisive fourth goal for teammate <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/42fd9c7f\/Kylian-Mbappe?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kylian Mbappe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His form for France proves just how good of a player Pogba really is. And if he gets the right move, then he could kick on in his career. At 27, he&#8217;s entering into the final phase of his peak; he can&#8217;t risk wasting more of it at Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"N7axPsW0SpdjrxtqZTYaag\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1229960439\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'N7axPsW0SpdjrxtqZTYaag',sig:'FxklI0rfEaZFIo35vanJQkIbjBfi4D455vfR-LJ46hM=',w:'594px',h:'445px',items:'1229960439',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The agent of Paul Pogba has made what seems a definitive declaration about the player&#8217;s future at Manchester United.
