POGBAS SIGNATURE PRIORITY AMID COVID-19 FINANCIAL PRESSURES
Paul Pogbas chances of staying at Manchester United look strong with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer declaring he wants to secure his signature with a long-term deal.
The United boss will not seek huge funds for transfers this summer due to the economic realities of the coronavirus crisis, but is keen for the club to tie down Paul Pogba to a long-term contract.

The French World Cup winner looked destined to leave Old Trafford for the second time in his career prior to the pandemic.
However, interest from Real Madrid is now unlikely to materialise this summer and Pogba has formed a formidable partnership with Bruno Fernandes in midfield.
Pogbas contract expires next summer, although United have the option to extend that deal by a further year.
Midfielders Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic have recently penned new deals with the club and Solskjaer is hopeful Pogba will follow suit.

Scott and Nemanja, theyre in a similar position but at different stages in their careers. One at the start, one really experienced. We also need players in that mid-range group, so hopefully we can do something.
I know that since Pauls come back now hes looking better and better. Hes just enjoying his football and lets see where it takes us.
