Ex-Manchester United and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, banned for 18 months for failing a drugs test, has dropped a huge hint about where he sees himself playing next.
Dwight Yorke has told the Red Devils to re-sign Pogba because he believes that the Frenchman, even at almost 32 years old, is better than all the other midfielders at the club.
Given Ruben Amorim’s penchant for hard work and dedication, it is highly unlikely that the Portuguese will have such an outlook.
Paul Pogba is still looking for a new playing destination
Pogba in his prime might have been a different story, but he is not a player who seems to drift in and out of games and only seems to be ready in sporadic bursts.
Newcastle United also have an interest in Pogbabut they also have a particular kind of work ethic under Eddie Howe.
In any case, neither club is likely to appeal to the French World Cup winner.

That’s because, according to an interview he gave on Twitch, he only wants to play for Champions League clubs.
Only the Champions League will do for Paul Pogba
The Magpies could end up in the competition next season, but of course there are no guarantees, and there is little chance of Man United entering any European competition this season given their current Premier League position (13th ) and the evil they are playing.
The other issue for stakeholders might be a personal one.
according to AIScorehe was on £290,000-a-week at Man United and £165,444 at Juventus, before his ban.
If Pogba wants to retain that kind of salary at a new club, it could limit where he ends up.
