Ralf Rangnick will play Paul Pogba even as his contract winds down
The HinduManchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick said midfielder Paul Pogba will be "highly motivated" to show his worth when he returns from injury, even if he is only looking to impress potential suitors as his contract winds down. The 28-year-old, who returned to training this week following nearly three months on the sidelines with a thigh problem, could leave United as a free agent at the end of the season. Injuries have restricted Pogba to nine league appearances this season, and though United has been in talks with him over a new deal, he has been frequently linked with a move away from Old Trafford. "This is psychologically, emotionally, a more challenging situation than the one at Borussia Dortmund, and these are exactly the kind of steps that he has to make to become a top player for the next 10 years at this club," Rangnick added.
