MANCHESTER United's Paul Pogba
says this summer "could be a good time
to move elsewhere".
The France World Cup winner has
been linked with a big-money move to
Spanish giants Real Madrid or former
club Juventus, the Serie A champions.
However, the 26-year-old midfielder,
who was named in the PFA Team of the
Year in 2018-19, is contracted to the Pre-
mier League club until July 2021.
"I am thinking of this: To have a new
challenge somewhere else," Pogba said.
"For me, I have been for three years in
Manchester and have been doing great;
some good moments and some bad mo-
ments, like everybody. Like everywhere
else.
"After this season and everything that
happened this season, with my season
being my best season as well... I think for
me it could be a good time to have a new
challenge."
Despite the views of their record sign-
ing, it is understood Manchester United
believe Pogba will still be at Old Trafford
next season.
Pogba moved back to Manchester
United after four years at Juventus for
a then-world record £89.3m fee in Au-
gust 2016, after originally progressing
through the youth ranks at Old Trafford.
Pogba has made 89 league appearances
in his second spell at United, scoring
24 goals. In April, United manager Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer said he expected Pog-
ba to stay at the club next season.
