Various landing spots have been speculated on, with Pogba spending plenty of time in the United States amid links to teams in MLS. A third stint at Old Trafford has also been mooted for the France international, who knows all about the pressure of life in the Premier League.

DID YOU KNOW?
A homecoming could, however, be taken in as Marseille have admitted to holding interest. Any move there, which would require Pogba to prove his fitness, would see a reunion taken in with former United team-mate Greenwood – who has been experiencing mixed fortunes at Stade Velodrome of late.

WHAT CHRIS WADDLE SAID
Marseille legend Chris Waddle hopes such a switch will be considered, with the ex-England international telling of what the future holds for Pogba: “It's a hard one, he’s never really done it in England has he, Paul? He came on the scene and he looked the part, and went to Italy. I think that sort of football suits him. A bit slower, it's not box to box, it's more patient.
“Weather conditions sometimes dictate the pace abroad. The sun, the heat. I think he was more suited to that type of game rather than the hustle bustle of England. For me, France, Marseille would be a good move and obviously the Italian league would be a good move for him. I think he’s best suited to one of those two leagues.”
