da dobrowin: Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba could still be heading back to Manchester United, but not until the summer, according to Sky Sports News HQ.
da wazamba: The France international has been heavily linked with a move back to the Premier League following his departure from Old Trafford in 2012 due to a lack of game time under Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Express recently claimed United would make a huge £60million bid to sign Pogba before the end of the current transfer window.
But the midfielder’s agent, Mino Raiola, insists Pogba will remain in Italy for the remainder of the season, though he refused to rule out a move back to Old Trafford in the summer.

He told Sky Sports News HQ: “Paul renewed his contract in Italy.
“There is a five-year deal with Juventus and what June and July brings, we will see in June and July.
“He will stay here this window in Italy and after that it’s also up to Juventus and up to himself to see what are the possibilities and what are the things to do.
“Paul has always said he is not angry with Manchester United – you need to move on. So there is no personal grudge against Manchester United.
“On the contrary, he holds Manchester United very dear and has very nice memories.”
And although Raiola stopped short of confirming United are favourites to sign the midfielder, he did hint that he expects something of a bidding war for Pogba in the summer.
“Let’s say that I am aware of the interest that there is around Paul, obviously, and without naming them, everybody that knows a little bit about football knows that there are only eight clubs that can afford him,” he admitted.
“That’s the eight clubs that will get into the scramble or the battle to have him.”
Paul Pogba has scored five goals and assisted one in 16 Serie A appearances for Juventus so far this season.
