Paul Pogba and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a face to face that could well be the beginning of the end of the Frenchman's stay at Old Trafford. Not because of the forms, because it was the most professional, if not because of the substance, since the plot of the conversation was the departure of the Manchester United midfielder. As reported by the Daily Mail, the match between player and coach took place after Lepzig-Manchester (3-2) that it would cost the elimination of the Champions Red Devils.
The one from Lagny-sur-Marne was not among the eleven chosen to try to close the pass to the round of 16, which would have been a reality if they had achieved at least one draw. However, the thrilling start of the game for Nagelsmann's men put them 2-0 up in just 13 minutes. Pogba he entered in 61 'instead of Matic and, although the Germans went 3-0, he was one of the most outstanding players of the final half hour. A powerful header, with the collaboration of Konaté, made it 3-2 which, although final, gave hope of coming back. In addition, he installed the 'what if Pogba had been a starter' in the post-game talks.
The Daily Mail stresses the professional relationship between the world champion and Solskjaer and the sincere and deep tone of the conversation, which took place after the inflammatory statements of Mino Raiola these days. The Italian agent was clear in an interview with Tuttosport, “the Pogba-United relationship is over”, in which he pointed out that the possibility of return to Juventus is there: “It could be”.
This possibility is the one collected by the British media, which remember interest bianconero to have Pogba again, but points out that this possibility will only take shape in January if the value that United assigns to its still player makes the operation possible.. Taking into account, mainly, the economic recession experienced as a result of COVID-19. The financial situation of the Vecchia Signora It is not as buoyant as it could have been in the recent past, hence options such as an exchange for Paulo Dybala, an old desire at Old Trafford and with his performance and renewal in question, appear on the horizon to unblock the soap opera.
Zidane does not forget him
Another possibility that cannot be ruled out is the one that starred in past summers, the transfer of Pogba to Real Madrid. Zinedine Zidane remains interested in taking over his compatriot, even above a much more promising option like Camavinga. However, although the market situation of both players facilitates the interference of the white team in their future, the salary difference between the two plays in favor of the Rennes midfielder, who earns 2 million euros for his team, for which the United team earns 15 million. Zidane does not forget him and both signings would be around 50-80 million euros, but the 'Camavinga option' adds more future to the white engine room (18 years against 27). In recent times there has been more talk about the possible departure of Paul Pogba from Manchester United than about his performances on the ground. We will see how the soap opera ends and if, at last, its future is no longer a matter of conversation and football takes the floor.
