In a recent report, United.No (translated by The Daily Mirror) has revealed that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is open to prolonging his stay at Old Trafford. It is believed that the French playmaker is willing to begin talks about extending his current deal with the Red Devils (via United.No).
Pogba’s Impressive Form At Manchester This Season
The ex-Juventus talent is having a solid season at the Theatre of Dreams as he has put in a series of influential displays at the centre of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s midfield. Pogba has registered four goals and three assists in 28 matches for Man United this term across multiple competitions.
The 27-year-old has performed well to make an impact in both halves after averaging 1.4 tackles, 0.9 interceptions, 1.4 clearances, 1.1 shots, 0.7 key passes and 1.5 dribbles per game in the Premier League this season. He has also taken care of the ball well when distributing it out from midfield, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 83.6% in top-flight football (stats via whoscored).
Pogba has shown plenty of promising signs recently to earn a new contract extension, so Man United should consider tying him down to a new long-term deal so that the player can solely focus on playing at his best and help them win some major trophies in the coming seasons.
What Does The France International Offer On The Field?
Pogba is deceptively quick in the way he conducts himself in midfield and can use his powerful 1.91m frame to dominate the opposition at the centre of the park. He possesses a wide range of passes in his locker and has got the eye to play a killer pass at the decisive end of the pitch.
The 74-time France international can even strike the ball with a lot of venom and accuracy, which makes him a goal-threat from long range. He has also been quite productive when going in for tackles and can clear his lines when needed on the defensive end of the field.
Pogba Open To Extending His Time With Man United: Good Move For Everyone Involved?
With Pogba now open to prolonging his stay at Manchester, it is a no-brainer for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to offer him a fresh deal and secure his long-term future in the process. The Red Devils can benefit a lot from doing so as the Frenchman has what it takes to propel them to challenge for a Premier League title in the years to come. Pogba will also enjoy playing with less pressure on his shoulders as the off-the-field media talk about his future has sometimes affected his performance in the past.
