Manchester United declined Paul Pogba's approach to sign new contract 18 months ago

Manchester United declined the chance to sign Paul Pogba to a new deal in the summer of 2019 after the midfielder made a personal approach to the club.

Sportsmail can today disclose Pogba's account of the contractual impasse threatening his long-term future at Old Trafford.

The prospect of the France international leaving United for nothing next summer is emerging as a viable possibility as he enters the final eight months of his contract and it can be revealed there is irritation inside the midfielder's camp over a growing narrative that he is holding the club to ransom.
