MANCHESTER: Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has said that “there will always be talk” amid ongoing speculation about his future at the club. The France international fell out of favor at Old Trafford last season and was linked with a return to his former club Juventus, and even a big-money move to Barcelona during the summer. On Wednesday, Pogba further fueled rumors of his leaving when he said: “Who knows what will happen in the next few months.” However, on Thursday, he said: “It’s not me who’s talking. I’m trying to do my job and work on myself physically.” The World Cup winner was speaking either side of France’s 0-0 draw with Germany in their opening Uefa Nations League match on Thursday. When asked if he was “fed up” with all the speculation, Pogba said: “I got back late (from the World Cup), so I’m trying to perform as well as possible.” When asked if his relationship with United manager Jose Mourinho had soured, he added: “We have a pure coach-player relationship, that’s right. “One thing I can assure you, I will always give 100% — no matter which coach I always give everything for United. I cannot say more.” The former United youth player returned to the club after four years with Juventus, signing for a then world record £89m fee in 2016. He was made captain for the opening two games of this year’s Premier League season in the absence of Antonio Valencia and has scored two goals so far.
