Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes, has predicted the future of Paul Pogba’s at Old Trafford after the Frenchman’s astonishing performance in their 5-1 Premier League victory over Leeds United on Saturday
Scholes believes that Pogba will commit his future to Man United and sign a new contract after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side made the perfect start.
Bruno Fernandes bagged a hat-trick in front of a packed Old Trafford on Saturday while Mason Greenwood and Fred also got on the score sheet.
Pogba, whose current deal expires in 12 months’ time, was in inspired form, assisting four of his side’s five goals.
“I think he’ll stay,” Scholes told Premier League Productions after the match.
“I think he will. I think he’ll end up signing a new contract. If this team carries on in this manner, progressing like it is – I don’t want to get too excited – but it’s a team that can go on and win trophies and that’s what he wants to do.”
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with Pogba’s display, saying: “Impressive. You know Paul’s always got that vision, he’s got that quality.
“I know that the headlines will probably be about Bruno or Paul, but this is a team effort.
‘But Paul I’m very impressed with his fitness levels as well. He’s not been with us for too long and he looks fit, ready to go, enjoying his football. I love seeing Paul, Bruno, all these boys smiling when they play football.”
