PAUL POGBA’S former Manchester United team-mate Adam Januzaj reckons the midfielder will snub Real Madrid and Juventus to stay at Old Trafford.
There has been a mountain of speculation that the France World Cup winner will quit United this summer.
But having seen the progress the team have made this year under boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Januzaj thinks he will now see out his contract.
United are likely to trigger an extension clause so Pogba will stay for at least two years.
But the club will hope they can convince him to sign an even longer contract to stop him leaving on a free transfer in 2022.
Januzaj, 25, still close pals with Pogba after coming through the Old Trafford youth ranks with him, now plays for Real Sociedad in Spain’s LaLiga after a big move from United in 2017.
The winger, brought up in Belgium, told Flemish newspaper Het Nieuwsblad and reported by Manchester Evening News that Pogba has told him he will remain at Old Trafford.
He said: “I think Paul is staying.
“I am still very, very close with Paul. We have known each other since we were kids, when we both played in the United youth teams.
“Our families are also close friends and we keep in contact. That will never change.”
Pogba, 27, has suffered ankle injuries which has limited him to just a few games in August and September this season.
But after a successful operation in January he now looks back to his best.
Fans got a glimpse of his potential ‘Brogba’ partnership with £55million recruit Bruno Fernandes in the friendly matches with West Brom last week.
The two are now set to play together for the first time when United visit Tottenham on Friday as the Premier League returns from the coronavirus outbreak.
