Twitter reacts as Manchester United trigger Paul Pogba contract extension

According to Sky Sports, Manchester United have triggered a one-year extension on the contract of ace midfielder Paul Pogba.

This will see the French international’s stay at Old Trafford extend until the summer of 2022.

Brought in from Juventus in 2016, Pogba has failed to reach the levels expected of him at United. In fact, the Frenchman’s match-winning performances have been few and far between.

He did himself no favours by admitting it would be a dream come true to play for Real Madrid.

Pogba currently had a year to go before his current contract expired. Given the precarious situation of losing such a player for free, United’s decision was perhaps inevitable.
