Paul Pogba's response to Real Madrid question after Man Utd loss to Barcelona

Paul Pogba was asked about a potential move to Real Madrid following Manchester United's Champions League defeat to Barcelona .

United were beaten 1-0 by the La Liga leaders in the first leg of their quarter-final at Old Trafford.

Pogba performed reasonably well but was not at his best amid speculation over a summer switch to the Bernabeu.

The Frenchman had previously admitted it would be a "dream" to play for Real, while Zinedine Zidane has made no secret of his interest.

He was asked about his future following the loss at Old Trafford but gave very little away.

Pushed on wearing the Real shirt, he added: "I won’t answer that. I will only speak about the game, nothing else."

"He's a midfielder who knows how to defend and how to attack.

"But he is not my player, he is at Manchester.

"He has always said that, after Manchester, Madrid has always interested him. So when his experience at Manchester ends, why not come here to Madrid?"
