Adidas demand Man Utd get serious about Pogba future

Manchester United sponsors Adidas are demanding a decision from management over the future of Paul Pogba.

The Mirror says United are under pressure from headline sponsor Adidas to keep Paul Pogba – or replace him with a stellar signing.

The German kit supplier penned a mega ten year £750 million deal with United in 2015 to help with the global promotion of their famous three-stripe brand.

Part of the deal was for Adidas to use United's biggest stars to front advertising campaigns in key markets like Asia as well as Europe and the USA.

But Adidas are concerned the loss of French World Cup winner Pogba to either Real Madrid or Juventus this summer will strip United of the kind of iconic star to help drive their brand.

Pogba – valued at £160million by United's moneymen - is himself a global ambassador and elite athlete for Adidas.
