Guillem Balague Says Paul Pogba Wants to Leave Manchester United for Barcelona

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has said he believes Paul Pogba wants to leave Manchester United for Barcelona, as the midfielder wants to play with Lionel Messi.

Balague explained the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner is not enjoying the style of football under coach Jose Mourinho, and a switch to the Camp Nou would make him "happy" once again.

In his column for Goal, Balague wrote the relationship between Mourinho and Pogba is the central reason for the player wanting to desert Old Trafford after just two years. The Frenchman returned to the Theatre of Dreams from Juventus for a world-record transfer fee after leaving United to move to Serie A.
