Paul Pogba is ready to commit his future to Manchester United with a new deal at the club, according to reports.
The France international’s future at Old Trafford had seemed on the rocks under Jose Mourinho but Pogba has been revitalised since his sacking.
Rumours were rife that Pogba – who has more than two years left on his contract – could depart United due to his poor relationship with Mourinho, which seemed to have a negative effect on his play.
Under caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Pogba has scored five goals and grabbed four assists for his team-mates in just six matches, which is in stark contrast to the three goals and three assists he had before the change.
The Sun reports that Pogba is ‘now willing’ to stay at United following Mourinho’s departure but he will be looking to increase his wages to somewhere near Alexis Sanchez’s £505,000-a-week.
Pogba is reportedly on £290,000-a-week – the second-highest paid player at United – but Sanchez is on the most in the Premier League.
An Old Trafford source told The Sun: “Pogba’s agent is ready to end the problems he has had with the club over the last few months.
“He wasn’t over much towards the end of last year. There was a big breakdown of relationships while Mourinho was in charge.
“Raiola wants to talk about his clients ongoing future when all the January business is concluded, which won’t be too much.
“There were talks over whether he would go, but there is no chance of that. He looks like he’s the happiest he has been in a long time.”
