France World Cup winner and Manchester United’s midfielder, Paul Pogba, says this summer “could be a good time to move elsewhere”.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a big-money move to Real Madrid or former club Juventus, the Serie A champions.

Pogba, who was named in the PFA Team of the Year in 2018-19, is contracted to the Premier League club until July 2021.

“I am thinking of this: To have a new challenge somewhere else,” Pogba said.

“For me, I have been for three years in Manchester and have been doing great; some good moments and some bad moments, like everybody. Like everywhere else.

“After this season and everything that happened this season, with my season being my best season as well… I think for me it could be a good time to have a new challenge.”

It is, however, understood that Pogba will still be at Old Trafford next season.

Pogba moved back to Manchester United after four years at Juventus for a then-world record £89.3m fee in August 2016, after originally progressing through the youth ranks at Old Trafford.

Pogba has made 89 league appearances in his second spell at United, scoring 24 goals.

In April, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said he expected Pogba to stay at the club next season.

Despite scoring 16 goals this season, half of which came from the penalty spot, Pogba was often criticised for his contribution under both Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as United limped to a sixth-place finish in the Premier League.

Should Pogba move on, United are likely to seek a higher fee than they spent on the 26-year-old in 2016.

The summer overhaul in the transfer market at Old Trafford has already begun with the signing of Welsh winger Daniel James from Swansea for an initial £15 million ($19 million) fee this week.

The Red Devils have also been linked with bids for defenders Harry Maguire and Issa Diop and Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff.
