Guillem Balague: Manchester United backroom team want Paul Pogba to lead young side

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba wants to leave Old Trafford this summer in order “to have a new challenge elsewhere”, and he has already been linked with Real Madrid and Juventus. The Red Devils aren’t keen on selling the France international, though, but his agent Mino Raiola continues to negotiate his client’s departure. United are yet to name their price for star player, aren’t negotiating a departure, and haven’t told the 26-year-old France that they are willing to let him leave. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to build his team around Pogba, and Spanish football expert Guillem Balague reveals that the Norwegian’s backroom team shares the same sentiment as they want him to lead “the team characterised by young players brimming with talent, personality and hunger for success” that they are currently building.
