Manchester United favourite Louis Saha sends Paul Pogba transfer message

Louis Saha has urged Paul Pogba to 'pursue his dream' when it comes to deciding his transfer future.

The Manchester United midfielder continues to be linked with an exit from Old Trafford after admitting he was considering a 'new challenge' earlier in the summer window.

Real Madrid were keen to secure a deal for the French international over the summer months and saw a lowly bid rejected for his services with United not prepared to sell him.

Speculation continues to mount over the future of Pogba and Saha admits he can understand why the midfielder would want to leave in order to win the Champions League.

However, the former French forward believes his compatriot could still achieve his dreams while playing for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

"My advice is to pursue your dream," Saha told AS. "But I also have to tell you that here [at United] you can achieve success by attracting world-class players.

“I want him to stay and help us [United] be the force we were 10 years ago, but I understand any perspective he may have.

“I understand perfectly well that his dream is to be on a team where he can play and win the Champions League, in the end it’s about raising titles and taking advantage of opportunities.

“We only have one professional career. There are cases where your heart beats for the club you play in and others where you can go where you have the chance to win something, and in very rare cases both are combined.”
