Paul Pogba pulls no punches with giant sumo wrestlers after telling Man Utd he wants to leave
PAUL POGBA got up close an personal with Sumo wrestlers after revealing he wants out of Manchester United.
The 26-year-old midfielder is on a whistle-stop promotional tour of the Far East.
As part of his visit to Tokyo, the midfielder was given the chance to hone his free-kick technique by trying to bend the ball around a wall of giant sumo wrestlers.
Pogba did the hard bit by beating the biggest defensive wall ever assembled in football, but his effort was saved by the keeper in goal.
And the midfielder who returned to Old Trafford three years ago from Juventus spoke to the media in Japan to reveal his desire to quit United this summer.
Pogba said: "Like you said, there is a lot of talking and a lot of thinking as well.
"For me I have been for three years in Manchester and have been doing great, some good moments and some bad moments, 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 somewhere else.
"I am thinking of this - to have a new challenge somewhere else."
The World Cup winner is being tracked by Real Madrid, who are ready to launch a £150million bid to take him to the Bernabeu.
Juventus are also hoping to take him back to Turin under new boss Maurizio Sarri.
United have been adamant they do not want to sell their best player.
But with Pogba going public, it looks like he is trying to force a move and now Ole Gunner Solskjaer has a huge decision to make as his authority for the first time is seriously tested as United boss.
