Paul Pogba’s personal trainer has confirmed that the Frenchman will leave the Manchester club in the summer when his contract expires.
Pogba was thought to be considering his options as he headed into the final year of his 6-year deal at Old Trafford this season, but it seems as though he has decided to leave Manchester United as a free agent in the summer for the second time in his career.

His personal trainer, Coach Meddy, told Italian outlet Calcio Mercato that it is because Manchester United are no longer challenging for the biggest honours in world football (they have won a League cup and Europa League in Pogba’s second stint) despite the talent available.
‘Regarding Pogba, at the end of June he will no longer be a Manchester player’, he told the Italian site. ‘I think it is right for him to look elsewhere, perhaps Manchester also wants to renew themselves and the most sensible thing is to separate’
‘Right now I think he’s enjoying himself, they have a good team, especially since Ronaldo decided to return. The problem is that the results don’t come.’
‘A top player doesn’t waste his time on minor competitions, he wants to be motivated to play for ambitious trophies. ‘
