Paul Pogba contract: 2018 World Cup star close to a new deal with Red Devils

Paul Pogba missed a significant part of the 2019-20 campaign due to a niggling injury before making a return during the Premier League restart. The 27-year-old quickly developed a partnership with January signing Bruno Fernandes, helping the Red Devils achieve Champions League qualification for the coming season. While the season saw Man United fail to bag any silverware, Paul Pogba is hopeful and believes in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's rebuilding project.

In a recent interview with Sky Sports Italy, Mino Raiola said that Paul Pogba is a crucial player for Manchester United and is "100% included" in the club's project. Pogba's agent added that Man United will not entertain any bids for the midfield ace and negotiations for a new deal for the Frenchman will begin soon. The current Pogba contract expires in 2021, and the new agreement is likely to tie him down for another five years.
