RALF RANGNICK says Paul Pogba needs to ‘get fit again’ before discussing his future at Manchester United.
The Frenchman’s contract is due to expire and the end of the season and he can agree a pre-contract with foreign clubs from January 1.
And Pogba‘s uncertain future at United has been accompanied by a hamstring injury, which has kept him out of action since early November.
Interim boss Rangnick is keen to get the 28-year-old back fit before discussing where he will be playing his football next term.
The German said: “On the day he came back from Dubai we spoke in person.
“Right now, it’s about for him to get fit again.
“I think this will take as far as I know another couple of weeks + until then my full focus is on the players who are available in the upcoming games.”
As things stand, there have been no offers to buy Pogba early in January, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

But both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain hold a strong interest in the World Cup winner.
And should Pogba walk out of Old Trafford for the second time, John Barnes has suggested United go after Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong.
Barca may be reluctant to sell though, with the Catalan giants eyeing a rebuild – starting with signing Manchester City’s Ferran Torres.
