“If a player doesn’t want to play for club-like Manchester United, doesn’t make sense to convince him to change his mind. This is such a massive club, with fantastic support, I don’t think anyone at the club should try to convince a player to stay,” said Ralf Rangnick on Paul Pogba’s contractual situation.

“But on the other hand, let’s wait and see. I’ve spoken with him for 15 minutes over the phone a few days ago. Let’s have him come back, get fully fit, train with the team and then we will see where we stand [and] how the team has developed by then.

“He can be an important player, I’m fully aware of that, but this is true for all the other players that we have. I’m not only the coach of Paul Pogba once he’s fully fit, but I’m also the coach of all the other players and my ambition is to make them better, to develop each individual player, and this is only possible by improving the performance of the whole team,” finished off Rangnick while speaking on the topic of his star midfielder Pogba.
