REPORT; AFTER CONFIRMING EXIT PLANS PAUL POGBA LEAVES MAN. UNITED PLAYERS’ WHATSAPP GROUP.
Ralf Rangnick admitted Paul Pogba had likely played his last game for Manchester United following an injury against Liverpool, and it would appear the Frenchman is already saying his goodbyes. Elsewhere in Tuesday’s Paper Round, a double dose of Ten Hag reports and claims AC Milan have joined the race for Manchester City forward Riyad Mahrez.
PAUL POGBA HAS LEFT THE CHAT
Paul Pogba has told his Manchester United team-mates he will be leaving this summer, with the Mirror also reporting he has left the squad’s group chat on WhatsApp. An injury against Liverpool on the weekend has ruled Pogba out for the remainder of the season, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, interim boss Ralf Rangnick conceded the Frenchman may well have played his last game for the club. Pogba has offers to join both Real Madrid and PSG as a free agent, likewise Barcelona.
Paper Round’s view: A Guardian article on Monday said we should view Pogba wasting his prime years at United with sadness, not scorn, and that pretty much sums it up. Here’s hoping the next chapter brings a return to form, because there is a world-class player there capable of carrying teams, not just warming benches for them.
