Man Utd Have 'No Intention' of Selling Paul Pogba Despite Links With Juventus & Barcelona

Manchester United have 'no intention' of selling Paul Pogba when the January transfer window opens next week, with hopes that Jose Mourinho's recent sacking has removed any motivation the Frenchman may have had to leave Old Trafford.

The relationship between Pogba and Mourinho infamously soured over the final 12 months of the Portuguese manager's reign. The player was allegedly labelled a 'virus' after the 2-2 draw against Southampton earlier this month and was an unused substitute against Liverpool.

Juventus and Barcelona have both been heavily linked with an approach for a number of weeks and months, but a report from the Daily Telegraph notes that United are not interested in selling and consider Pogba to be crucial to plans both on and off the pitch.
