Juan Mata on Paul Pogba's Manchester United Future: 'I Would Like Him to Stay'

Juan Mata has hailed Paul Pogba's influence on the Manchester United squad and said he would like the Frenchman to stay at Old Trafford.

Pogba, 26, hinted at a move away from United last month when he said "it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else," per David Hytner and Sid Lowe in the Guardian.

There has been little further progress on a potential departure, although Real Madrid reportedly have a "plan in place revolving around late transfer-window pushes for his signature," per Marco Ruiz of AS.
