Manchester United ace Paul Pogba: "There will always be rumours"

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 09 September 2018

Barcelona-linked midfielder Paul Pogba insists that "there will always be rumours", amid fresh reports that he held talks with the Spanish champions.

Paul Pogba has stressed that he remains under contract with Manchester United and can do nothing to stop the intense speculation regarding his future.

The France international has made the headlines a number of times in recent weeks with quotes given to the media, repeatedly refusing to rule out a move away from Old Trafford.

In the wake of reports linking him with a return to former club Juventus, on top of suggestions that talks have already been held with Barcelona, Pogba insists that he is not actively seeking to leave and has once again played down talk of a rift with boss Jose Mourinho.

"I'm under contract," he told Telefoot. "There have been little things with the coach - the relationship is always the same, coach and player. We have common goals, which are to win.

"As long as you do not see me in a Barcelona jersey, it's because I'm in Manchester. There will always be rumours."

Pogba is currently away on international duty with France and was named in their starting lineup to face the Netherlands on Sunday evening.
