Alan Shearer: Paul Pogba’s Man Utd career has reached crunch time – he either needs to sign a new deal or be sold

IT’S crunch time for Paul Pogba’s career at Manchester United.
Either commit and sign another deal, or sell.
My guess is United will cut their losses and try to move on from a four-year spell which was not what either party planned.
I think he probably feels a little bit let down by what’s gone on at United. It’s a mess on both sides.
When he signed he was supposed to be the start of a rebuild — the glory days returning.
The club have not delivered on their promises, so it’s not the deal he signed up for.
Pogba has had injuries but United have never seen the best of the midfielder, either.
The club want around £150million — whether they’ll get that sort of money depends on him coming back into the team this season and then playing well in the Euros.

There’s no doubt he’s one of the best players at United when he’s fit and raring to go but the fans have not seen enough of that.
I doubt they ever will. My guess is that he’ll be fit before the summer, have a good Euros, then he’ll be off.
There’s every possibility he could win the tournament with France, be the star — and then someone would pay big money for him.
