PAUL POGBA and Jose Mourinho have reportedly called a truce with the French star vowing not to try and push through a move in January.
Manchester United’s club record £89m signing will remain with the Red Devils until at least next summer after the uneasy pact.
Pogba still has issues with his Old Trafford boss, but the claim he has vowed not to agitate for an exit in the winter window.
The midfielder’s agent Mino Raiola appeared to be trying to engineer a switch to Barcelona for his client over the summer.
But United refused to entertaining allowing the 25-year-old to his depart.
However, today’s report states “Pogba has since held talks with Mourinho about his predicament and reached an understanding whereby all talk of his future is on hold until at least next summer”.
It is believed to be a similar arrangement to the one Sir Alex Ferguson made with Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008 to stay “one more season” before letting him join Real Madrid.
Pogba knows he will not be allowed out of the exit door mid-season and has privately accepted that decision, but is expected to try and push his departure at the end of the campaign.

Pogba and United have suffered a poor start to the Premier League, winning two and losing the rest of their opening four matches.
