Teenage midfielder opts to shun overtures from other clubs
12 March 2012
Sky Sports understands teenage
midfielder Paul Pogba has agreed to sign a new contract to stay at Manchester
United.
Pogba's future at Old Trafford
was uncertain as he was due to be out of contract at the end of the season and
had been heavily linked with a move to Juventus.
The 18-year-old's situation was
recently described as 'precarious' by his agent and speculation had suggested
Pogba was set to leave United.
His omission from the squad for
the recent Europa League home defeats by Ajax and Athletic Bilbaoonly prompted
further doubts over his future.
However, Pogba was back in Sir
Alex Ferguson's plans for Sunday's game against West Bromwich Albion and he
appeared as a second-half substitute in the 2-0 win.
Speaking after the victory which
sent United to the top of the Premier League table, Ferguson confirmed Pogba
was still making up his mind regarding a contract.
It is now understood that Pogba
has elected to continue his career with the reigning champions and has agreed
terms with the club.
Pogba has made five substitute
appearances for the Red Devils this season after making his debut against Leeds
United in the Carling Cup.
