Paul Pogba has once again opened the door to a mega-money transfer to Barcelona after refusing to rule out a move away from Manchester United.
The Spanish giants made their interest known throughout the summer and the player's agent, Mino Raiola, angled to push through a moved to the Nou Camp.
And despite appearing to bury the hatchet with United boss Jose Mourinho, following a tetchy relationship this summer, Pogba has not closed the door on his Old Trafford.
'There was a lot of talk, but it was just like that, I'm under contract in Manchester,' Pogba told Sky Sports Germany.
'My future is currently in Manchester, I still have a contract, I'm playing there at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the next few months.'
'But who knows what's going to happen in the next months.'
Perhaps the biggest giveaway that all isn't well in the Pogba-Mourinho camp was the World Cup-winner's response to the follow-up question.
When the 25-year-old was quizzed about whether he had a tense relationship with the Old Trafford boss, Pogba seemed to acknowledge that he has by nodding before saying: 'We have a pure coach-player relationship, that's right.
'One thing I can assure you: I will always give 100 percent, no matter which coach I always give everything for United - I can not say more.'
It will do little allay the fears of Manchester United supporters and is perhaps the biggest indication that he could be on his way to Spain yet.

As a Man United fan , I got to say this guy needs to go next season. Now we have seen Pogba and understood why Sir Alex decided to let him go. Mourinho is a proven winner. But he still needs players technically good and loyal like he had at previous clubs. Pogba was supposed to have that role but he dragged the plans. He is not a leader, neither consistent like great midfielders plus the drama he brought to this great club. He will take the club nowhere with his stupid attitude. Next season Woodward and Pogba need to go and we need more technical and less attitude type of player who wants to win.

Manchester United are a great team ,Pogba has no space in Man U he is in consistent and very much less creative, Mourinho was trying to build a team around Pogba but it seems the plan is failing,He doesn't even have leadership qualities at all , Now l see why he was playing good soccer at Juve it was because there was the great Master of the Art Pirlo to do the business for him to finish up,Now at Man U it is a completely different set up of which he must shoulder most of the responsibility of which he is failing. His Price of 89m pounds is wrong totally he is not worth it . I would prefer Ander Herreira to start ahead of Pogba. The only good thing Pogba is good at is practicing goal scoring celebrations if goals which he will never score , and also good on social media and fancy haircuts,he needs to go l agree!!!!!

Very dissapointed in Pogba comments, hope it was misinterpreted cause what we know, media likes to make things up. However, if its true, then, he is free to go. Cause from his comments, he is still a kid, he did not care about how his comment will affect the whole team. Maybe there are personal reasons behind it but I dont care. We did not want someone who are not committed to Man Utd. Although he said he will give 100%, but, when his head is already thinking about going out, its impossible to give 100%. Hoping to see that this is not true. Or else, Thank you for your service Pogba.

That's why Sir Alex sold him that time despite being an emerging talent. He could have that egoistic if he had been playing awesome football and consistently. Playing 1 good game and 5 poor games and talking rubbish just as his greedy agent. I used to admire him till this summer but he us acting p***y every now and then. If I had that power, I would put his price f*****g 1 billion and let him get rotten with his ego and attitude. Like really, if he doesn't respect the jersy and badge, make him bench warmer. It's united and money is not a big deal.

What most of you don't realize is that, Paul wants to play for ManU not for Mourinho! And honestly we don't have a Midfield talent like him.. He is a very Good player at ManU and wants to do his best for the team! Mourinho Must Go bcuz he's destroying the future of most of our players.. Look at Herrera, look at Martial they haven't got a single start this season, they are young and they still have a future and He is denying it

Once relationship between a star in a team and the coach begins to deteriorate it would affect negatively the performance of the team. Without doubt, Pogba is one of the ctrative mid-fielders currently in the world and we saw it during his stay at Juventus and Russia 2018.Jose Mourinho should find a way of bringing out the best in Paul rather than casting askance at the player. Though am a Chelsea supporter for live but, this is my candid opinion. Pogba was abudding star while at Man U, during the tenure of Alex. He became a star at Juve. He should be accorded the respect he surely deserves. Michael Enuonye.

there is so much hype about Pogba...he is good player but not the best in his position...there are at least 10 players better than him in that role...Vidal, Ericson, Debryune, Naingolan, Matic, SMS, Rakitic etc

Remember one thing lad, At Barcelona you're just another player who might not even start, while at Man U , you're Pogba.

Pogba can't pick a manager at ManU. A player needs to play under coaches and managers, he must obey Jose. A player & management have different roles. Mourinho is responsible for the results, 2nd place finish last season is a fair result. Probably as a ManU fan, we don't like the points gap, perhaps. We are aware of Mourinho defensive style, we need check on with yourself - Are we ready to accept playing like Klop's Liverpool n struggling to finish 4th. Trouble is the current season, ManU has unsettled defense & others have even improved squads. Jose has not given his steel defense, and now he is trying another things, for us the attacking football, result is 0-3 loss to Spurs at home.

No player is bigger than ManUtd. that's why SAF let him go. TBH his performances don't match up to the expectations. he's not winning us games week in week out, he's not winning us titles. Ruud was replaced, Beckham was replaced, and many other great players that had the privilege to play for this honourable institution...

Absolutely! Pogba has to quickly be sent packing. ManU must not make the mistake Arsenal made on Sanchez, procrastinating with the hope things will shape up well only for the atmosphere to get even worse. Sanchez still left and Arsenal failed for the second consecutive season under Wenger's tutelage to quality for the UCL. Pogba's heart isn't inside Old Trafford, it's obvious and he's got to leave before the virus gets even more effectious and cause what could be a colossal damage to the team, or club, in the end.
