Manchester United fans believe Paul Pogba wouldn't be set for talks over a new contract at the club without being given assurances that new signings will arrive at Old Trafford.
Pogba stated his desire for 'a new challenge' last summer but United remained adamant all along that he would not be leaving and stuck to their guns.
Pogba missed the majority of United's 2019-20 campaign due to ankle problems as he underwent surgery in January and only featured in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team consistently post-lockdown.
United supporters noticed a significant shift in the Frenchman's mood following United's resurgent form after the January arrival of Bruno Fernandes and believed his stance on staying at the club may have changed.
His agent Mino Raiola confirmed their theory, claiming his client was happy to be part of the project under Solskjaer and expects talks to begin over a new contract soon.
United haven't made a major signing in the current transfer window and are yet to make a breakthrough in negotiations with Borussia Dortmund over priority transfer target Jadon Sancho.
However, fans believe Pogba would not be considering committing his future to the club without a guarantee that the squad will be strengthened as they look to challenge for the title again.
United remain determined to bring Sancho to Old Trafford but MEN Sport understands there is still no resolution on the 20-year-old Sancho's salary expectations in discussions with his agent Emeka Obasi and the intermediary fee demanded by Marco Lichtsteiner, acting on behalf of Borussia Dortmund.
