The 25-year-old has seen his future at Manchester United called into doubt, but Barca's director says a big-money move isn't forthcoming
Barcelona director Ariedo Braida has admitted that his club are unlikely to move for Manchester United star Paul Pogba.
Pogba's future at Old Trafford has been called into question after a turbulent 2017-18 season in which he clashed with manager Jose Mourinho, who dropped Pogba from his starting XI multiple times.
The France midfielder, who starred in his country's World Cup triumph this summer , has been linked with a return to former club Juventus, as well as Spanish champions Barcelona.
Pogba added more fuel to the fire after scoring in Manchester United's season-opening win over Leicester on Friday.
"There are things I can say and there are things that I cannot say, otherwise I will get fined," he told reporters when asked if he felt comfortable at United.
Despite the speculation, Braida said his side are unlikely to make a play for the midfielder.
"I don't think we're going to move for Pogba, but he's a great player," he told Radio Sportiva.
Though he has suggested all is not well at United, Pogba insisted that he will continue to give his all for the club
"I always give my best for the fans, for the team-mates and for the people that trust me," Pogba said following the Leicester match.
"With the players that we have, of course we're Manchester United, we have to look at the top of the league. That's obvious."

Pogba should stay at Manchester United. Manchester United should make him stay there itself. Paul Pogba can attack, defend and also lead the whole team. He motivates all his teammates during the match. His best quality is he always communicate with players during the match and I think that is most necessary for a team to play well. With out the armband also He would be the leader of Manchester United. He is a complete Midfield player. He can make Manchester United win league titles. GGMU

pogba will give full effort on his games but fact is he doesn't like to stay there in Manchester. . because mourinho is not giving chance to play and his way of attitude to pogba is not good ... they both have not very good relationship. ..

to rebuilding the empire of Manchester United and to keep Paul pogba in the team, first of all… we need to sacked Jose mourinho of his current position! Secondly, we need to hire pogba's countryman zidane as our new manager! Personally I believe footballers refused to join united is because the characteristics of Jose mourinho and zidane is the one could stimulate young players to join us and as well work with them to the triumphs!

Pobga would surely regret after seeing Barcelona winning UEFA Champions league
