Paul Pogba's Manchester United future in doubt

Manchester United youngster Paul Pogba is reportedly prepared to snub the Premier League champions as contract talks have come to a halt.

Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been open about his desire to keep hold of the 18-year-old. However, rumours about an exit from Old Trafford continue to circulate.

The playmaker's agent, Mino Raiola, has hinted that Pogba could decide against a new United contract following the club's reported decision to axe him from the squad that lost 2-1 to Ajax in the Europa League last week.

"It is a precarious situation," said Raiola. "It is difficult. United want him. It is up to the boy to make some decisions."

The teenage midfielder has been linked with a switch to Italian side Juventus.
