Transfer: United risk losing Pogba to EPL rivals for free
Manchester United are at risk of losing Paul Pogba to two Premier League rivals as his contract runs out at the end of this season.
Sky Sports reported that the Frenchman is attracting plenty of interest and Premier League clubs among those keen on his services.
Although no official offers have been made yet, two Premier League clubs have reportedly contacted Pogba’s camp while the likes of Real Madrid, PSG and Juventus remain in contact with the France international’s representatives.
It is also understood that the 29-year-old who has not ruled out staying at Old Trafford has had no new contract offer from the club since last summer.
The identity of the next manager will be one of the factors Pogba will take into consideration before making a final decision in the summer.
Pogba has previously said: “Whether it’s with Manchester or another club, I want to win trophies.”
Meanwhile, Pogba has opened up about experiencing depression “several times” during his career. The Manchester United midfielder believes it is difficult for footballers to speak out about their mental health struggles.
He adds high salaries are no barrier and the constant scrutiny players are under creates an intense environment they have to deal with.
“Completely, and several times during my career,” replied Pogba, when asked if he had experienced depression in an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro.
“I have been through it, but we don’t talk about it. Sometimes you don’t even know you have depression, you just want to be isolated, to be all alone, these are the unmistakable signs.
“From a personal perspective, that started when I was with Jose Mourinho at Manchester. You ask yourself if there is something wrong with you because you have never experienced these moments in your life.
“Of course, we earn a lot of money and we don’t complain, really. But that does not prevent you from going through these moments in your life – like the whole world – which are more difficult than others.
“In football, it is not acceptable but we are not superheroes, we are only human beings.”
