It represents a remarkable turnaround for a player who looked to be on his way out just seven months ago. Pogba is currently in the last year of his United contract. The club however has the option to extend it for another year.

Raiola’s admission will come as a relief to the United fans. With the club failing to sign any players, losing the French colossus would have been a huge blow.

From a hero to villain to a hero again

Pogba’s future has been a subject of speculation. This was especially so in the final months of Jose Mourinho’s tenure. He enjoyed an injury-ridden start to the season as speculation continued to hover regarding his future.

The signing of Bruno Fernandes saw a rejuvenated Pogba once again take the field for United post the restart. His performances of late have been top-notch and he once again looks like the world-class midfielder we all know he is.
