Former Manchester United midfielder Luke Chadwick feels Paul Pogba should leave Manchester United and look for a new club. The Frenchman’s contract is set to end this summer, and he is unlikely to renew it.
Paul Pogba joined Manchester United from Juventus for a then-world-record £89 million fee. The versatile midfielder has shown flashes of his skill but has fallen short of expectations season after season. Over the years, he has been largely criticized for his lack of consistency and off-field media drama with Mino Raiola.
Last summer, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner was heavily linked with a move away from United, but he chose to stay.

He’s had a good season this year, with nine assists in 16 Premier League appearances however, those numbers are rare to come by. But Chadwick believes that the midfielder’s transfer move, maybe the best option for all parties involved.
While having a chat with CaughtOffSide, he said:
“I think that’s just the person he is. He has never been shy to talk about his opinions. Without a doubt, he’s probably right. He seems to perform at a consistently high level for France and maybe not as consistently for Man United.”
“He’s had times where he hit some really good form, particularly when he played on the left-wing. It seemed like they’d found a home for him where he could really excel, but again, the inconsistency came back, the injuries came back and he’s never really nailed down what was expected of him when he was re-signed from Juventus.”
Paul Pogba was one of France’s standout performers at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. He also assisted Didier Deschamps’ side in winning the UEFA Nations League in 2020-21.
Pogba has 39 goals and 51 assists in 229 appearances for Manchester United in all competitions. He has played a big role in winning the EFL Cup and the Europa League for the club.
The French midfielder has recently attracted the interest of Juventus, PSG, and Real Madrid. However, Juventus are showing seriousness and has started talks with the Frenchman about a summer transfer.
The former Juventus player is reportedly eager to return to Turin and rejoin manager Massimiliano Allegri. They won two Serie A titles and as many Coppa Italia titles during their two years together with the Serie A team.
