Manchester United all but confirm Paul Pogba is leaving

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Ralf Rangnick has all but confirmed Paul Pogba has played his last game for Manchester United. Pogba has been ruled out for four weeks with a calf injury he sustained in the 4-0 thrashing by Liverpool and he is out of contract on June 30.

Rangnick said it is 'most likely he won’t be here anymore next season'. The 29-year-old's 10th-minute substitution marks an appropriate end to a turbulent six-year career back at United.

Exactly 10 years on from leaving on a free for Juventus in 2012, Pogba is about to run down his second United contract. "He’s injured, he’s a player who won the World Cup with France, he’s such a good player that he was a regular starter for a team like France," Rangnick said. "We all know what kind of potential he has and what kind of good player he can be. "He was quite like a few other players struggling to get his best performance sustainably on the pitch for a team like Man United.
