Paul Pogba has cast further doubt on his future at Manchester United, refusing to commit to the club beyond the January transfer window.

Pogba was persistently linked with a move away from Old Trafford during the summer transfer window, just two years on from £89.9m return to Old Trafford.

The France international has been almost ever-present in Jose Mourinho’s starting XI this season, captaining his side in the opening two matches of the new Premier League campaign but has done little to dampen speculation over his long-term future in Manchester.

And in an interview with Sky Germany ahead of France’s Nations League clash with Joachim Low’s side, the former Juventus midfielder has once again suggested a move could be on the cards.

“There was a lot of talk, but it was just like that, I am under contract in Manchester,” Pogba said of the summer speculation.

“My future is currently in Manchester, I still have a contract, I am playing there at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the next few months.”

Pogba was strongly linked with a return to Juventus during the summer while Barcelona were interested in signing the World Cup winner, although they were not prepared to break the bank.

Reports of a strained relationship between Pogba and manager Jose Mourinho have been rife since the second-half of last season when the Portuguese tactician decided to drop the player from his first-team.

Asked about their relationship, Pogba added: We have a pure coach-player relationship, that’s right. One thing I can assure you; I will always give 100 percent, no matter who the coach is, I always give everything for United.”
