Liverpool hero Steve McManaman has warned Paul Pogba that he hasn’t done enough to warrant a transfer to Real Madrid at the end of the season.
Manchester United midfielder Pogba continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford at the end of the season, with rumours recently linking him with a move to the Spanish capital.
Speaking earlier in the week Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola praised the Real Madrid managing director Jose Angel Sanchez and outlined his desire to move one of his elite clients to Real in the summer transfer window.
Pogba has started just six times for United this season and has been a peripheral figure in the first-team under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in recent months due to injury.
The French midfielder continues to be linked with a move at the end of the season, but McManaman isn’t sure he has done enough to attract the attention from Real Madrid this summer.
“He hasn’t played enough football this season for sides like Madrid to be genuinely interested in him,” the former Liverpool and Real Madrid winger told HorseRacing.net.
“If he stays, plays and gets back to full fitness at Manchester United, I certainly think that he will get back into the starting XI very easily.
“Nemanja Matic is a year older, Juan Mata is a year older and Paul is definitely good enough to play in those positions alongside Bruno Fernandes, so I don’t think there’s any problem there.
“He’s certainly got the quality to play in the Manchester United midfield as long as he’s fit and healthy, but we’ve been waiting to hear from Paul Pogba all year regarding his future.
“Pogba has yet to say whether he wants to stay or whether he wants to leave.”
