Premier League: Man Utd determined to block Paul Pogba from sealing Real Madrid transfer in January

Latest delay in Pogba's return from injury has raised questions over midfielder's commitment, but United are determined to keep him amid renewed speculation of Madrid move. Man Utd is determined to stop Paul Pogba from moving to Real Madrid in the January transfer window.

Pogba agitated for a move to Madrid last summer while he was also linked with a return to former club Juventus. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

And speculation over a New Year switch has increased after the midfielder's comeback from injury was postponed in bizarre circumstances.

Pogba has been out since the end of September with an ankle injury his return was further delayed when Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s claimed he was ill. But in social media footage of him dancing at his brother's wedding he appeared to be in good health raising further questions over the France star's commitment to Manchester United.

Daily Mail Report

However, just as they did last summer Manchester United are set to stand firm against any bids for their £89million record signing in January according to Daily Mail. World Cup winner Pogba has 18 months left on his contract although Manchester United have the option to extend it by another year and the 26-year-old has told the club he has no target of passing a new one.

But the Mail says Man Utd have not changed their stance on keeping hold of the player even though they plan to sign two central midfielders before the start of next season. Pogba claimed he should be back soon when quizzed about his return when he was spotted walking his dogs near his Cheshire home on Monday.

There have been questions over how well he will fit into the fast-paced style manager Solskjaer is developing at Manchester United. And the manager expressed frustration when asked about Pogba's return saying: Of all things he is struck down ill now.

He is been off for two or three days probably so that is not beneficial. That is probably set him back quite a bit. However, Solskjaer is adamant that Pogba remains a big part of his plans despite Manchester United’s upturn in form without him in recent games.

“As I have said so many times Paul’s a top top player that we want to see playing his best football at Man Utd,” said the Norwegian.

We can talk about Paul all day long and it is games like Everton for example when you are lacking that one creative pass or ideas maybe. He has that worth that not several midfielders in the world have so to get him back would be countless.
