Juan Mata Wants 'Fantastic' Paul Pogba to Stay at Man Utd and Discusses Poor 2018/19 Season

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has hailed Paul Pogba as a positive influence and says he hopes the Frenchman will stay at the club to help them become the city's dominant team again.

Since the end of last season there have been non-stop rumours about Pogba leaving Old Trafford with interest coming from the likes of Juventus and Real Madrid.

The World Cup winner admitted he would be open to a new challenge earlier in the summer but has since knuckled down on United's pre-season tour, putting in good performances against Perth Glory, Leeds and Inter.
