I will never join PSG ―Pogba

Paul Pogba has revealed that he would not consider a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

He is one of the players who has been closely followed by the French champions recently but from his words, it is clear that he has no intention of plying his trade at the Parc des Princes.

“I’m sure that I wouldn’t play club football at the Parc des Princes,” he told Canal+.

“I’m not attracted to that because my father and mother were fans of Marseille so Paris doesn’t really fit into my plans.”

The France international also shed some light on his relationship with Jose Mourinho, who has been unafraid to bench the midfielder for key games throughout the season.

“There has been a lot of talk about it and there were times when I didn’t play and was on the bench,” added Pogba.

“People thought there was something wrong between us but a coach and a player don’t have to be best friends.

“We went to a restaurant together and I had some problems at that time, it was a mental issue.

“He left me on the bench but I responded on the field and gave the maximum every time I played.

“I think I’ve grown in leadership, matured and can be a leader for the national team too.”

The former Juventus man even confessed that he believes his coach is more mad than he is and expects to remain at Old Trafford.

“That’s why they call him ‘The Special One’ because he’s a little crazy but he remains the same and wins trophies,” continued the Frenchman.

“He’s crazier than me for sure! Will I stay at United? You can never be sure of anything but I have a contract.”
