sokapro-Pogba calls it quits at Manchester United

Paul Pogba has given the most outright confirmation that he will not be at United come next season by quitting the club's WhatsApp group.

The Frenchman seems to have played his last game for Manchester United after being substituted early during the 4-0 defeat handed down to them by Liverpool. Pogba, whose contract expires by the end of June has turned down offers of extension. According to reports, he has told his teammates that he is off the squad at the end of the season. He now appears to have begun the process of clearing at Old Trafford by checking out of the club's WhatsApp group. Juventus, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint Germain are now vying for his signature with the latter two ready to give him an offer after his United exit.

The France midfielder is one of the trio of free agents that Spanish giants, Real Madrid are attempting to sign together with Paris Saint Germain's Kylian Mbappe and Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger.  Pogba's relationship with the Red Devil's supporters hit a low during their 3-2 win against Norwich City when he cupped his ears at supporters amidst jeers. He later tweeted during their 3-1 defeat to Arsenal that he was absolutely gutted not to be able to help his team and even promised to come back on the pitch even better before the end of the season, a promise that might not see the light of day. 

Earlier during his international duty with France in March, he had made known his disappointments at United for not being able to win trophies during his time at Old Trafford. He further claimed that it was hard to improve at United since he is given different positions to play every time which makes him lack consistency in the game. At that time, he did not hide his admiration and interest in Paris Saint Germain largely motivated by the fact that most of his national teammates plie their trade at the club. We wait for the transfer window to open to know who between the Los Blancos and the Les Parisiens will bag his signature. Juventus have as well expressed their interest in him and might as well outsmart the Spanish and French giants to have him sign for their squad.
