Paul Pogba reveals his criteria in his search for a new club

Paul Pogba is one of the most high-profile and in-demand free agents in world football this summer and the Frenchman has revealed what he is looking for in a new team.

After June 30, the Manchester United midfielder will be free to officially join a new team and, naturally, he has been linked with some of the biggest clubs in Europe, such as Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Juventus.

With no apparent lack of suitors, the 29-year-old is in a good position and he is weighing up his options with clear priorities in mind.

"I'm thinking, putting everything together, taking my time, and I'm just looking for the best," Pogba said in an interview with UNITERRUPTED.

"I want to play football, be myself always, and enjoy what I do. I need to enjoy what I do because otherwise I cannot perform well. I don't want to be thinking negatively.

"We can be losing games, trophies but you have to be happy and enjoy yourself - that's what I'm looking for."

Pogba went on to talk about what he's looking for in terms of teammates and spoke of the importance of having good personalities and leaders in the dressing room.

"I think people around make a huge difference because they cheer you up or they can bring you down - it can be both - so you need them to bring you up," he said.

"Sometimes you just don't feel yourself, that can happen.

"Just to have someone say 'it's alright, it's okay'. It's important to feel it from your teammates because you can bring it up also.

"I like to talk to the people and be a leader but even a leader sometimes needs his teammates to be encouraged, they need to bring him up.

"Being a leader it's helping your teammates to the biggest potential. We can fight but it has to be for the good of the player, the good of the team and bring the level up, bring the positive energy.

"A leader doesn't need to score, a leader can be on the pitch, do his job right, pushing each other.

"Sometimes you're tired and you hear someone say 'come on, come back', all this stuff.

"At the end, we all win together, you need someone to push and bring you up when you're just down or you miss a chance in front of goal. Someone to come and tap your shoulder and say 'you're going to score a goal' ,just bring the energy up."
