There has been immense speculation regarding Pogba’s future in the EPL for some time now. Ahead of the 2019/20 EPL season, after he came close to leaving, the 27-year-old himself admitted that he’s looking for a ’new challenge.'
Manchester United as well, were said to be on board with the idea of allowing him to depart. Having missed a whopping 55 games since his record-breaking £89m move from Juventus, United were reportedly open to selling him for €100m. This was a consequence of the financial impact of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Solskjaer keen on keeping EPL star Pogba
Despite his past struggles, Pogba has begun to find his feet in the EPL upon his return from injury. The French star has made a notable impact in both Premier League games he’s played in so far and looks in superb touch.
According to L’Equipe, a Manchester United source commented on the EPL star’s situation, saying;
The report released by the French outlet also stated the EPL’s record signing is currently ‘swimming in happiness’ upon his return.
He has enjoyed an impressive partnership with new recruit Bruno Fernandes in the middle of the park. The Portuguese has had a phenomenal start to life in the EPL as he is yet to register a loss with the Red Devils. The two creative midfielders give United’s midfield a very different dynamic than the likes of Fred, Scott McTominay, and the other options United have.
Man United manager and former EPL legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes that players like the France and Portugal internationals make it easy for the forwards. He said that creative players of such quality make the goalscorers’ jobs a lot easier given the immaculate service Bruno and Pogba could provide.
Speaking on his star duo, Solskjaer remarked;
United are currently unbeaten in 14 games, and this run could only get better with the return of Paul Pogba. Both him and Bruno are in line to start against Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday night in the EPL.
