A number of Manchester United fans believe rumors linking French midfielder Paul Pogba with a move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are 'great news' and the best solution for all parties involved.
The 29-year-old's contract with the club is set to expire at the end of the season. Mauricio Pochettino's side have already made an offer to Pogba as per a report from the Manchester Evening News.
Paul Pogba joined Manchester United from Juventus for a then-world-record fee of £89 million. He was widely considered one of the best midfielders in the world prior to his move to Old Trafford but has failed to live up to expectations. The midfielder has been heavily criticized for his inconsistency and off-field antics over the years.
He has endured an up-and-down season, during which he has scored just one goal and provided nine assists in 25 appearances. The France international's reluctance to sign a new contract and his inability to produce goods for the club on a regular basis has left United fans frustrated.
They have welcomed the news that the former Juventus star is close to agreeing a summer move to PSG.
"Who the hell cares just let him leave", said a fan on Twitter.
Paul Pogba has scored 39 goals and provided 51 assists in 231 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils. He helped the club win the EFL Cup and the Europa League in his very first season.
As per the aforementioned report, United's dressing room already considers Pogba as 'gone' and are bracing for his exit in the summer.
Manchester United yet to register interest for Wolverhampton Wanderers' 24-year-old star midfielder
According to the Manchester Evening News, Ruben Neves has been linked recurringly with the Red Devils. However, they haven't registered an official interest with the player's entourage.
The Portugal international has developed into one of the best ball-playing central midfielders in the Premier League during his time with Wolves. He has made over 200 appearances for the club and has scored 24 goals.
Neves' passing, creativity, tackling, and eye for a spectacular goal could make him the ideal replacement for Paul Pogba. His current contract runs till the 2023-24 season. The aforementioned reports also suggest that Bruno Lage values the midfielder at £100 million but could let the player leave if they receive a sizeable bid.
